for me it's books on nex and Lastwall


Crown of the world would be nice (JR has a good article on the region but I think this could be greatly expanded)


Casmaron.


I'd love to see something like planescape, but the current cosmology doesnt really support it.


I'd love to see one focused on Galt, myself. I like the write up in the Inner Sea World Guide, and I just want to see more of it.

Why would you say that?

*currently running a very Planescapey game in the Great Beyond*

new Great Beyond book


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

A book on Arcadia, and possibly something more about the Asia-themed areas that are not Tian Xia.

Edit: Also, more about the Realm of the Mammoth Lords.


Lets see here...

1) Book on Absalom( a big hard cover)

2) Riddleport (loved this city from Second Darkness)

3) Taldan

4) Cheliax

5) Andora

6) Calistria( and I guess the other gods as well)


I do have ideas.

1) Janderhoff and the general image of dwarfen settlements all around of Varisia. Also, it should have a d100 table for family feuds, debts or heroic deeds of ancestors, which obligates the dwarven character. Maybe even clan/city/status based heritages.

2) The Great Desert from Rahadoum to Osirion. Example of migrating nomadic village. Nonhuman settlements. Options to trade caravan, survival and expedition styles gaming.

3) Planescape or something similar. Perhaps city behind ancient elven portals or place where souls of dead will gather, which wont serve any god, but perhaps their own idea/ideology.

4) Primitives of Golarion. Barbaric clans of Mammoth Lords as well in anywhere else, including many non human ones.

I'd love to see an urban book that focuses on the big cities around the inner sea.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Any of the core inner sea powers, since there has been a bit of a tendency to only produce campaign guides to the more "Theme Park" areas.

So Andoran, Cheliax, and Taldor

Beyond places, in the revisited line I would like to see some books focusing on abberations, dark lands dwellers, and sea monsters.

A Dragon Revisited 2, covering Imperial and Primal Dragons, would be nice.


Heirs of the Taldan Empire, covering all regions once within Taldor's reign, and maybe some settled by Taldans outside that region would be great. Go into standards of rule, law, culture, and the various divergent trends that exist within that milieu.

Gods of Tian Xia would be nice.

"Faiths of Avistan" / Garund/ etc, which focuses on the specific manifestations of religion, highlighting regional quirks and schisms both local and vs. the broader worship of those gods. Detailing the actual organizations and movers-and-shakers of those religions.

Casmaron could use it's own Hardback.

A product focused more in-depth on solely the Kelesh Empire.

South Garund.

An in-depth treatment of the Plane of Shadow and the First World. (separate products)

Scarab Sages

Southern Garund Gazetteer and an oceans of Golarion book.

Dark Archive

Casmaron/Kelesh hardcover.

I want this. I want it so much. But I've written a lot of information about Iobaria thinking that we're unlikely to get it any time soon and that we'll have to make do with the info. in The Varnhold Vanishing.

I thought Cheliax already had its own book?

I think the biggest challenge if they do the Padishah Empire is if they make it somehow different from Osirion. Yeah I get Osirion is Egyptian, Padishah/Qadira is Arabia, but they both are Near East cultures in a desert setting. I'm getting a lot of vibes from ancient Persia, even a bit of Dune, when I think of the Padishah Empire.

Scarab Sages

I don't think it is challenging at all to make Osirion and Kelesh/Qadira feel different from each other. They're both desert cultures, sure, (though Kelesh has far more than desert to it) but that's like saying you can't make Cheliax and Andoran feel different because they have the latitude as each other.

As you say, Kelesh is more Persian. Kelesh is enormous. It stretches to Vudra in the same way the Persian Empire stretched down to India. That's a lot of room for difference. I think Kelesh would need a book like the Dragon Empires Primer to do it justice.

Cheliax only has a Companion AFAIK, not really a book (just like Andoran, Taldor, Qadira, and until a few weeks a go, Osirion).
It deserves a proper Setting book, given its major role in the history, politics, and action of the Inner Sea.

Geb for sure, why aren't more people saying Geb?

Ustalav hardcover is what I want most, definitely.

At least in the Campaign Setting line.

Followed by more Revisited-style books.


Arcadia!


3 people marked this as a favorite.

Distant Worlds Campaign Setting hardcover, then Great Beyond Campaign Setting hardcover.


Geb and Nex, I want these so bad.

Taldor for a Taldane political AP!

(tons of great suggestions in this thread though)

Casmaron would be nice, since then we could fill the map between Avistan and Tian Xia then


I would also like to add Nex to my list as well.

But the Satrap of Qadira finds life SOOOO much simpler if there isn't a real, substantial Kelesh Empire to worry about obeying.

Nirmathas and Molthune.

That would be pretty sweet.


Casmaron / Iobaria <- 'nuf said.
Brevoy <- Kingmaker is a great AP, but I'd love to have more information about the nation the PCs come from, especially for intertwining the politics of Brevoy and the new nation.
Great Beyond <- We know a fair amount about great metropolises of the Great Beyond like Dis, but what about Axis? What should PCs encounter along the way if they journey to the Boneyard to petition Pharasma for something?

Axis deserves it's own book, eventually, as a planar metropolis along the lines of the City of Brass or Dis, but expanded beyond all of the above in the sense that it's not really just a big city on some other plane, but more like a plane unto itself that is just one big honkin' city.

More like the Plane of Gears, in the Midgard setting, it's not just a big city, it's a world/setting unto itself, that is covered with streets and buildings.

I would like see this book, plus have some more detailed rules about planar adventures. There are some but I think they're pretty threadbare.

Well, off the top of my head...

Akiton
Asura
Castrovel
Darklands (Sekamina region below Tian Xia, particularly Diguo-Dashu and Pan Majang)
Devils Revisited
Elysium/Azatas (Chronicle of the Righteous was lovely, but didn't touch on the good aligned planes much at all...at least the Books of the Damned touched on their respective planes more)
First World
Geb
Great Beyond (The Great Beyond updated to Pathfinder and expanded to a full hardcover, complete with a planar bestiary and some discussion about how to best adapt existing monsters to round it out)
Heaven/Archons (See Elysium/Azatas)
Kaiju of Golarion
Kami/Oni
Kaoling
Mana Wastes
Nagajor
Nex
Nirvana/Agathions (See Elysium/Azatas)
Races of Golarion (full hardcover that discusses the existing races (primarily non-core) and how they fit into Golarion, where their major settlements are, how they've contributed to the history of various areas, discussing multiple versions of their cultures, religion, etc.)
Shadow Plane (I want more about D'ziriak, Kayal/Fetchlings, Kytons - and Kyton demagogues, Shae, and so on)
Tian Xia World Guide (as a full hardcover to at least match the Inner Sea World Guide)
Triaxus (with more detail on Summer as well as Winter)
Valashmai
Verces
Vudra

...and enough about Arcadia and Casmaron to know what I want more of!

I think that it is just a matter of time before we see something like this. Afterall, the only thing Paizo loves more than Lovecraft is Sword and Planet.

I felt I was suddenly transported to a world have high level archmages outnumber the farmers...a duel scimitar-wielding emo drow ranger...and endless RSEs...

But a Brothels of Golarion would be awesome.

This is a really good idea if you also include The Wasp Queens.

Even if it's not feasible to do a book on each of the planes, I think it would awesome at some point in the future to see a hardcover book on planar adventures. Advice on ways to handle the planes in a campaign, dealing with various outsiders beyond combat, etc.

In that sort of book you could present multiple examples of locations to set as the focus of such a campaign: Axis, the City of Brass, Galisemni, and Shadow Absalom being the locations that first come to mind for me.

Such a book is up at the top of my list of 'Paizo Dream Products'. :)

Cities of the Great Beyond? As a soft cover.
The Great Beyond Campaign Guide? As a hardcover.


Brevoy. All of its glorious spanish-russian, perpetually near-civil war glory.

And how they manage to reconcile these themes with living right next to Unwashed Barbarians Fighting Laser Scorpions Country.
