Hi,
My friend and I would like to create content for Pathfinder 2e, a precise list and format is below. We would like to be sure that we are working inside the Compatibility License and we are not breaking any other rule or license. We are thinking of selling this content.

What we would like to create and sell is:
1. a character sheet in Google Docs
2. objects, gm's tools and NPCs in Google Slides
3. oneshots, adventures and sidequests in Google Docs.

We would reference only OPG and not Product Identity from the Pathfinder 2e Books.

Specific questions are:
1. The Compatibility License says it's only valid for books, electronic books and free websites, sharing a link to a Google Drive folder with Google Docs or Slides inside of it, wouldn't be tolerated?
2. Could we add links to third party websites like Archives of Nethys or Pf2 Easy Tool?
3. We understand that with the Compatibility License and respecting the OGL, that is not referring to any Product Identity material, we can make this work. Is this assumption correct?

We are asking here after we have sent an e-mail to customer.service@paizo.com, to which we didn't have any reply.
Thank you very much for your time!

Thank you for your answer. We did how you said. We had no reply so far though. I guess we'll have just to be super careful and follow the compatibility license.

This is your first stop.

The first real stop should be to a lawyer. This is a business you're talking about. Innocent mistakes can end up in lawsuits. Do your homework and talk to a lawyer. You should also have a business plan.

If you just want to have a blog and post stuff to it, Paizo has a different license for that. But if you want to make money off of it, take my advice and do the work to make your business a success.
