I currently create and distribute free 3D printable miniatures based on Pathfinder artwork through my Patreon page (patreon.com/mapsandmonsters). Under the updated Fan Content Policy, would it be permissible for me to place these 3D printable models behind a Patreon paywall?

About three years ago, I contacted Paizo and was informed that, under the previous policy, I could distribute the models for free and accept donations,but selling them was not allowed due to Paizo’s existing license with WizKids for miniature production and sales.

Given the new policy updates, I am seeking clarification on whether my digital files for 3D printable models can now be considered monetizable fan content. Since I am not producing or selling physical copies, I believe this may not conflict with the WizKids license.

I aim to ensure my work aligns with Paizo’s guidelines and policies, so I have reached out to Paizo already but didn't hear back, maybe I didn't email the correct email? If anyone knows who I would contact for more information I would be grateful.

I would keep an eye on the blog License changes announcement thread page HERE and maybe even post this info there - it will get more eyes from Paizo peeps than possibly here.
