Hi!
I have a question about whether the Paizo Community Use policy allows us to publish conversions of Pathfinder adventures into non-OGL RPG game systems.
In my specific case, I've converted the adventure The Godsmouth Heresy for the RPG Trophy Gold by Jesse Ross, which itself is published by the small indie RPG imprint Gauntlet Publishing. Trophy Gold is published under a Creative Commons by Attribution (CC-BA) license, and does not use the OGL.
My question is whether the Paizo Community Use Policy would allow me to publish my conversion of The Godsmouth Heresy, keeping intact the Pathfinder setting elements, such as the Church of Pharasma, Thassilon, the Sihedron Rune, Kaer Maga, the Godsmouth Ossuary, etc; and also the names of monsters such as sinspawn, skull spiders, and goblin snakes.
Trophy Gold does not share any game mechanical elements with Pathfinder or D&D. It also uses a very different play structure, meaning that this is an abstract conversion using the original module's themes and major set-pieces, and is not a room-by-room conversion. TG doesn't use game maps (tactical or otherwise), so I have no need to use the dungeon cartography.
Thanks in advance for letting me know whether or not the Pathfinder Community Use Policy allows this sort of usage.
