Making a For-Profit PF1e Video Game with only OGL Materials


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

Greetings, all! I ask this here and now since it seemed like the best place to ask.

Let's assume hypothetically I were to make to video game for commercial distribution using Pathfinder 1e's OGL rules but not use any copyrighted material (Golarion, Cheliax, etc.)

1: What sort of license would need to be placed in this game so people knew this was OGL content? I know D&D 3.5 had the 1.0a OGL Rules from Wizards of the Coast.

2: Could I legally mention this game used Pathfinder First Edition OGL rules?

3: What else should I know and be prepared for to properly and legally make and market and release this game using this ruleset?

Note that Knights of the Chalice is a for-profit video game that uses the 3.5 OGL rules.

Thankee!

No idea, but this probably isn't the right thread? Just wanting you to get the answer you're looking for. You might want to reach out to Paizo directly.

I wasn't sure where was the best place to post. I assumed someone on the Paizo forums would know best.

This is where you need to go or maybe here.
