OK I am have been GMing for Years (since the mid 80s) as I have retired one of the things I do now i write quick encounters and make minis that go with the encounter including creatures and terrain fro 3d Printing.
I have been thinking about starting a Patreon, where every week i give the first tier of Patrons a Pocket encounter, basically an encounter around a single event that can be dropped into any game. I make these encounters compatable with D&D 5E (only because its the most popular system) Pathfinder 1st Edition and SWADE, the 2 systems my group plays the most.
WHAT EXACTLY DO I HAVE TO DO TO NOT GET SUED.
I have the OPEN GAME LICENSE Version 1.0a printed in its entirety at the back of these encounters, what else is required?
Can I put the PF1 logo on the fromnt stating Compatable with?
Please do not reference me to a paticular page thats full of legal muimble jumbo unless its somethign I ghave to copy and paste into these modules. Please tell me in plain english.
WHAT EXACTLY DO I HAVE TO DO TO NOT GET SUED.

I have an email out for my SWADE conversions (basically I use the Pathfinder 1st edition stats off d20PSRD and ask ChatGPT to conver to DND5E and SWADE.
Pathfinder 1e doesn't use ORC, that's only needed for 2nd edition content, so you're fine just using the OGL if you're sticking to PF1 stuff.
