How will the Pathfinder 2E Remaster impact future adventure paths / modules?

[Delirious2022]

Hey all!

I have some questions about how the Pathfinder 2E Remaster will impact future adventure paths/modules.

Just a little background, I've played Pathfinder 2E since the CRB came out up until the APG. I stopped playing due to life changes but for the past 6 months I started looking at Pathfinder 2E again. Unfortunately since the APG a lot of content was released from all the different lines that I didn't know if it would be affordable. I realize AoN and PDFs exist but I prefer the physical book format, there's just something about that format that makes the game enjoyable for me. So when I saw the Pathfinder 2E Remaster was announced, I thought this was a great way to start fresh and get into this system again with these and future products in the Rulebooks line and the other book lines.

Now I know the reason behind the Remaster was due to the OGL scare earlier this year and that it was best for Paizo to remove themselves from using it. Whenever the adventure paths/modules stop using the OGL, does that mean that starting from Rage of Elements in the Rulebook line and the Tian Xia books in the Setting line only those books will be referenced in the in Adventure line? I have a basic knowledge about the OGL but I'm thinking items, monsters, etc. from pre-Remaster books would not appear in adventure books because if they are referenced then the OGL license would have to be applied to the adventure. Do I have that right?

Thank you for helping me understand and I hope everyone in the US has a Happy Thanksgiving!

My guess is that it is likely a bit more nuanced than that, because we already have references to the Bestiary in the new Core books, so it can't be as simple as a blanket embargo on any references to those earlier books.

The license change doesn't prohibit to use reference OGL books in books that uses another license you just cannot copy the content but there's no problem pointing it like "Encounter, X creatures Y from book Z in pg. nn", same for items or any other thing.

So this wont change the new adventures at all. The main change that we will have is that old bestiaries will probably no more being referenced new adventures once that some monsters are OGL exclusive.

If we count the lore changes since Rage of Elements as part of remaster, I'd say that there is and will be a cosmology impact.
