Expect a post in the next few days regarding Paizo's new and revised licenses. I'm just waiting till after GenCon to see if anything gets announced.

Short version: it's bad. It might even be bad enough to make me give up entirely.

Doesn't this exclude what you're doing? Dyslexic Character Sheets wrote: Indeed, I'm left very confused by this update. If removing all the once-CUP artwork is the answer, I'll be disappointed but so be it; but more clarity would be appreciated. We will add a clarifying statement to the FAQ that alternative character sheets are not considered RPG products. It not being included along with GM screens was an oversight.

I'm afraid not. He also said that any character sheet that does the calculations or references the rules in detail wouldn't qualify for the new policy.

Sigh. I hope they carefully rethink this. I abandoned D&D wholesale for their shenanigans and if Paizo thinks this is a good look now, well...

Hmmmm, I really hope it is not that bad......

What does "references the rules in detail" mean exactly? Character sheets can no longer be class-specific? You can't include a margin note on how to calculate (for example) a spell saving throw DC? They need to be a lot less ambiguous if they expect people to even TRY to follow their policy.

It's a fairly vague distinction, since the FCP allows at least passing references to rules. But wherever that threshold is, I'm a long way above it.
