Hello!
While I was a GenCon, I bought a copy of Realm Works. One of the things I was shown on the 10 cent tour of the program was a very robust Rise of the Runelords. Is that file available? I was hoping to take a look at it as a tutorial file since it had a great deal more depth then the simple tutorial realm that comes bundled in. Thanks! |

Last I saw, they were still in talks with Paizo for licensing, etc. Since I'm running this campaign right now (in Book 3), I would love to have this file when it becomes available too, but we have to wait for all the legal wrangling to happen.

Hey Rob,
We know the first talks of licensing started at the end of Paizocon 2014. Can we get an update as to what has happened in the last two and a half months? |

I'm not Rob, but I'll pipe in. We talked to Paizo at Gen Con as well, and we're still in discussions. However, I'll be honest and say that we can't really share beyond "we're talking with them" until something is or is not signed. We're still optimistic that it will be the former of the two options, but nothing's official until something is signed. Last edited by liz; September 17th, 2014 at 02:32 PM.

I have a question that may not be specifically related, but at least in the same ballpark - Has there been any further news on the input/availability of the (PF) OGL rules within RW?
I know I have brought this up before and the indication was that this was likely to happen. Given these rules are freely available elsewhere and covered by the OGL itself I would assume (perhaps incorrectly?) that the inclusion of these rules does not require an agreement with Paizo? Is there any update you can give? Cheers |

Is there any reason the community could not do the PF OGL entry? Once marketplace is set up, we should be able to share material. If we could organize a group that decides on standard presentation and integration, that would be really spiffy. Volunteer for entering a section and then have one person merge it all together. Edits and updates could be discussed in the forums.

Are adventure Paths released as OGL? I only thought rules were?
So yes we could have a community updated PF rules, like Shadow has done with HL, as long as there was no charge for the material, but I believe Adventures and the like are not OGL, much like the campaign setting, it uses the OGL released rules but essentially the game world is IP not open. |

@Jayjay27: I thought I'd read something like that before. It's all becoming a blur. While the official version may cost a few dollars, it will be consistent and everyone is working from the same ruleset. I'll sit tight and see what Santa brings me.

But RW will be giving away "everything" you would need to run RotRL. That is wrong and theft. No different if you copy/pasted all of the RotRL text from the pdf into a word document and started sharing it with everyone. With a "license" in place with restrictions then RW maybe allowed to share the adventure stuff. That is what I understand of stuff at least for Paizo.
