Meta:Orcus

Legacy content

Orcus is a deity created for another game and in Pathfinder relies on rules licensed via the Open Game License. The Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project changes the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game's license to the Open RPG Creative license, which prevents further use of Orcus in the Pathfinder campaign setting.¹² -Oznogon (talk) 23:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

↑ "I THINK that the only gods we have to leave behind fully for OGL reasons are Kostchtchie (who does have soem real-world lore, but not enough in this case), Jubilex, and Orcus (sorta the same thing as Kostchtchie)."

↑ "Kostchtchie was removed for the same reason Orcus was. Unlike Pazuzu or Baphomet (deities that also have a D&D legacy), Kostchtchie and Orcus's recognizable elements were too OGL mired to make it into the remastered non-OGL game. Jubilex too, but even more so, since he's 100% D&D." James Jacobs. (October 22, 2024).
