License for a free online module


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hello everyone. I'm currently working on a short adventure (3 to 5 hours) to be made available for FREE (so, no money involved, just contributing to the gaming world out of generosity) on my blog, The Halfling's Den. The adventure uses the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game System and contains references to the Core Rulebook, Bestiary I, Advanced Player's Guide and Ultimate Equipment. Plus, there are a couple of Kobold Traps of my own creation. Being this the first time I do something like this, I don't know which kind of license or agreement I have to reference/include in the PDF version of the module that will be uploaded on the site. I just want to avoid incurring in legal troubles, because honestly, I have no interest in passing as mine ideas that are not, and I am grateful to all the people at Paizo for their hard work.

I hope this is the correct section of the forums for this question; if it is not, my apologies to the moderators.

You want this page. It should answer your questions.

Edit: basically this (though there are other important bits):

Does this mean I can write my own adventures for the Pathfinder RPG, set them in Golarion, put characters like Seoni and Valeros in them, put a Pathfinder logo on the cover, and distribute them via my website?
Yes, so long as you don't charge anything for them, and you follow all the other rules.


Dotting b/cause I'd like to do the same thing one day soon.

Edit: also, congrats on the blog! I just had the same thought last week: I'd like to craft a blog just to add things to the gaming community. You're currently my hero!


Thanks a lot Shin Bilirubin! Anyone else with suggestions/opinions/personal experience, please don't hesitate!

@Mark Hoover: Thanks for support! Being Italian, writing an entire blog in English about something I love is a good form of training for me!
