Seeing some Qs in the
Facebook Group about the difference between the RW Content and the HL Content. So here's a picture I made to try explain the benefit.
And for those questioning the need to own the Paizo pdf in order to buy Paizo content. Here's a recap.
Paizo enforced a change year where you need to own the pdf in order to purchase the same content on a digital platform.
It's actually a really good thing if you look at it from the right angle.
Think about the D&D5e landscape.
You buy the hard book.
You want to buy the DnDBeyond content, you must pay a license fee and data entry fee.
You want to buy the Fantasy Grounds content, you must pay a license fee and data entry fee.
You want to buy the Roll20 content, you must pay a license fee and data entry fee.
You pay the license fee to use the same content over and over again if you want to switch platforms.
Now Pathfinder is better imo.
You buy the hard book and pdf from their website using their model.
The pdf is basically a one time purchase license.
The pdf (aka license) is associated with your account.
If you buy the Realm Works content, it checks the website, confirms you already have a license and the price is therefore reduced to only cover the data entry fee.
If you buy the Fantasy Gorunds content, it checks the website, confirms you already have a license and the price is therefore reduced to only cover the data entry fee.
If you buy the Roll20 content, it checks the website, confirms you already have a license and the price is therefore reduced to only cover the data entry fee.
It's better for the consumer really.
