Let us assume that I am a complete novice with legal terminology and the like. Now let us also assume that I was interested in writing an adventure for/as a 3rd party, which would potentially be sold and distributed.
Now here is my situation. As mentioned above I was in the midst of writing an adventure arc when I realized that "Hm... I have no idea what I have to do to get this released! I don't want to be sued by Paizo or the Wizards that live by the Sea after all. Would anybody be able to simplify this for me?
1) Assuming I am trying to write a Pathfinder compatible product, what would I have to do if using information from the bestiaries?
2) How does this apply to 3rd Party Products such as the Tome of Horrors? There are quite a few interesting creatures there which I would LOVE to use, but again, have no idea how to do so.
Any help would be appreciated greatly. I tried searching the forums for an answer, but it seems that my search-fu is weak.
EDIT: After rereading a few times, I am starting to get it. I guess the question remains: Can I reference something used in the Tome of Horrors, and is there a special way to do this as opposed to a Paizo Product? I am also now looking at the Pathfinder Compatibility Licence.
@Michael - here is a fairly useful post (LINK) to some of the ins and outs of publishing as a third party entity, also known as a 3PP.
I'll go and try to find some of the other useful threads on more nuts and bolts of the OGL....
