In January 2023, Paizo became embroiled in a new licensing dispute following leaks from Wizards of the Coast of plans to update the OGL for the upcoming edition ''One D&D''. In reaction, Paizo announced that they would be migrating their games off of the original OGL onto the planned Open RPG Creative License ([[FunWithAcronyms ORC for short]]), in collaboration with several other game and content developers including Creator/KoboldPress, Creator/{{Chaosium}}, Creator/GreenRonin, Creator/LegendaryGames, and Creator/RogueGeniusGames.

[[https://paizo.com Paizo, Inc.]], formerly known as Paizo Publishing, is a TabletopGame, {{magazine}}, and book publisher based in Redmond, WA. They are best known for being the creator of the ''[[TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}} Pathfinder Roleplaying Game]]''.
Paizo was originally founded in 2002 by former Lisa Stevens, Vic Wertz, and Johnny Wilson to take over publishing ''Magazine/{{Dungeon}}'' and ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' publisher Creator/WizardsOfTheCoast. For a time they also published the gaming magazine ''Magazine/{{Undefeated}}'' as well as resurrecting ''Magazine/AmazingStories'', though both titles were discontinued in 2006.
Wizards of the Coast declined to renew the contract for ''Dragon'' and ''Dungeon'' in 2007. To fill the gap, Paizo began a subscription for its own original setting using the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragonsThirdEdition'' ruleset: the ''Pathfinder Adventure Path'', set in the world of Golarion (which would become known later as the Lost Omens setting). The announcement that ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragonsFourthEdition'' would not be using the 3.5 Edition Open Game License--[[ScrewedByTheLawyers substituting the new Game System License which required anyone making 4E content to cease publishing OGL-based 3.X content]]--led to Paizo's fateful decision to convert the setting into their own SpinOff of 3.5E, the ''[[TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}} Pathfinder Roleplaying Game]]''. Wizards had accidentally created their own biggest competitor: during the 2010s, ''Pathfinder'' ended up [[DuelingWorks far outselling 4E]].
In 2016, Paizo released a ScienceFantasy SpinOff of ''Pathfinder'' titled ''TabletopGame/{{Starfinder}}'', set in the far future of the Golarion setting. In 2019, they formally released ''Pathfinder Second Edition'' after a year of playtesting. Unlike First Edition, Second Edition does not use Wizards of the Coast's System Reference Document as the basis of its rules, instead using the Open Game License to permit third-party content for 2E.
