I sat in the most awesome meeting yesterday where I had to constantly reign in my gamer impulse to dance and cheer at our ideas for the Pathfinder, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion, and Pathfinder Modules releases for the first trimester of 2009.
So I can't tell you any specifics (yet!) but allow me this gamer impulse:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!
*cough*
That is all.
That's it? No hints? Not even a silhouette of Mike with ominous music?

I swear Josh (and frequently) you're just like my nephews were growing up. You come on here and tease us. TEASE US! With how cool things are and then won't spill the beans.
That's not fair!
You can't yank our chains like that and then expect us not to pee in your cheerios.
I'm doing it too Josh, every morning you sit down to eat Cheerios's, I swear there's going to be pee in there. NOW SPILL THE BEANS!
(If the threat of urine in breakfast cereal doesn't get him to talk, nothing will).
Josh, I'm ashamed...why did you rein in your glee? :P
*will be giddy enough for at least two people to make up for it*

Okay, that was just plain mean.

We know Adventure Path #4 in the Pathfinder line is due to commence in this period, and that it is probably set in Cheliax.
Actually... that may not necessarily be the case anymore. Part of the reason I've been hesitant to say TOO much about AP4 yet is that it's NOT nailed down. My best guess was that it would be set in Cheliax... but after bouncing a few other ideas I've had around... Cheliax might just end up, oh, maybe AP5?

You know, I have a feeling that Josh won't be sharing this information until a particular date—or at least a particular range of dates.
So while you probably can't get him to reveal product info, perhaps you might be able to get him to reveal when he's planning on revealing it...

Spoiler:Oh! To add fuel to the fire:There are at least two products Josh is hinting at that I'm BEGGING to write. In fact, it's pretty embarrassing, really, just how much I'm begging. ;)
- TianXia sourcebook (TianXia, Vudra, Osirion?)
- Pathfinder Psionics sourcebook
- Homosexuality in Golarion gazetteer
~GRRRRRRRRR~~~ Darn you all! Darn you all to heck! I will get even for this infernal teasing! And it is not even the good kind either! ~wicked smile~

I'm going to wager a guess one of them is a novel.
Please set it in an area we can play in.. or what's the point? We get flavor, we get personality, but denied a chance to play there. A novel should draw a reader in. Many of us would love to meet the people of Sandpoint through your eyes (for example.)
And think about new readers. If a new reader picks up the books and decides to try the game, how's he going to react when he find out that cool place he read about isn't a place supported in the game product... fail.

Louge already has the first of your suggestions mapped out (or so he said in a chat) even if it wasn't greenlit to even happen yet...I'd say a acadamaie and other schools of arcane arts,
and something else involving lots of dragons
An Acadamae sourcebook and/or adventure(path?) would be awesome!
While zooming in on things we already know about (Varisia -> Korvosa -> Acadamae) is a natural train of thought; looking further afield, about regions we know little about, particularly with Season Zero of Pathfinder Society launching this year, set around Absalom and surrounding regions, I'd suspect making this region much more accessible to players and GMs may be a priority.
Oh... and even though Josh might not be willing to tell you, I'll be more than happy to tell you that one of the products is...
** spoiler omitted **
Oh yes, that's true.
Ok Vic...NOW YOU'RE TEASING US!
I'm peeing in your cheerios too!

What a great job! In my work it goes more like this...
BOSS: We have to create a presentation for [fill in the blank]. Who wants it? Anyone? It's gotta be powerpoint and it must have excel tables, and some 3d models; and you have to use the secure computers, so you can't work on it at home, and it's due in one week. Anyone?
ME: [sotto voce] Ah, f$+*! [normal tone] Great, sir; I got it.
BOSS: Thanks for volunteering.
Oh, my boss and I are the only people in the room...
That is all.
Dammit.

AP4 = Expedition over the top of the world??
Dammit, there's just no sense in baiting us at this point- someone is looking for a slap.
I can reveal that the products we planned out for the first trimester of 2009 will be unveiled on a warm, sunny day in the not-too-distant future. Say, sometime before the election.
The galactic election.
And one of those things that Mike is begging to write? Yeah, we should have thought of that idea, say, FIVE YEARS AGO. It's gonna be awesome.

GRRRRRRRRRRR....... ~starts to sparpen my claws~ Revenge will be mine oh teases!
Someday, I am going to find out the most interesting thing in the world, just so I can tell every human on the planet except Joshua.

Something that would've kept Bush from being re-elected?
You guys are evil and take all my money. My wife was so happy with 4E was coming out and that i hated it. But now I have Pathfinder to burn my extra money
Cant wait to see what it is have not been disapointed by a book yet

I'm sure there are people who have an inkling of what one of our products is, then, if they consider the things I profess to love. :)
I begged James some more today. Pleaded, in fact.

Wait...we're letting you do a book on pig-tailed magical schoolgirls? An entire book this time?
Joshua,
I deleted my previous post because I didn't like the edge it had to it. It bordered on mean-spiritedness.. and I didn't like that. You didn't deserve it.
I'm not having fun with this tease though. Maybe I'm just cranky today, but it doesn't feel all that fun, seriously. That could be isolated to me, however.
I'm excited by whatever prospects you're alluding to.. it suggests that the Pathfinder Brand is really strong, and the future is really optimistic. I think that's something we all would like to celebrate.
I'm looking forward to when you can gives us an actual hint about what lies ahead in the near future.
