Cardboard heroes of Golarion- specific monsters/characters (in the absence of 3D minis)
Big Vinyl Map too, please! One that looks like an antique piece, rather then a colorful CGI print.
ah , firbolg , i second that map idea, and the ancient format would be awesome! you paizo types listening?
Mmm Googlearion...
Im a map freak, so anything that includes maps is a must. I was freaking out when I saw the blog post with the coastline of Avistan and Garund with only Osirion and Varisia back then. Imagine a Golarion World Atlas...

Mars analogue!!!!
Already taken care of.
Akiton, the Red Planet: A planet of immense red deserts, torturous mountains, and rugged badlands, the denizens of Akiton are known primarily for their violence.
I just really want the atlas, even if Sarusan can't ever really be mapped due to its ever-changing Dreamtime state.

-Faction lapel pins
-Large vinyl map (love this idea)
-Paizo/Pathfinder golf shirt
-Wayfinder
-More minis!
*ding*ding*
Well, maybe not the golf shirt, I'd be more prone to a bowling shirt. But personal fashion aside, the only thing I would add...Faction themed ITEM CARDS! I'm about to start ordering more sets, just so that I can shoot them directly into my blood stream.

Vinyl map would be great. My Ptolus version was one of the best investments I ever made.
An atlas would be nice as well.
I would kill to see battlemaps for major encounter locations from the APs or modules. Something heavily detailed and lavish. Sure they might only see use for a few encounters, but it would be worth it. For the APs you can package them together either by the individual volume or as an entire campaign.

Rules for psionics.
Rules for incarnum.
Rules for tech.
Psionics Yes yes yes yes.
Incarnum Not OGC, therefore can't be used officially in PF stuff. ;_;Tech Yes. :P
Alternate magic systems (i.e. Tome of Magic) that would be released open content.
DMs screen would be lovely (of course with WAR art!).
Papercut "3D" minis like the one of the Rune Giant in the post would be great and cheap to produce. Leave the cutting for us!
All the others rules accesorioes will come in time I suppose. Can't get enough of it!

Rules for psionics.
My best friend asks me about this all the time- it's probably the thing he's most eager to see from Pathfinder (at some point).
I'd love to see an Adventurers Guide to Golarion, written as an 'Inworld' document, by the Pathfinders, giving advice and information about the dungeons and other adventure sites of Golarion.
Also, as I mentioned to James Jacob in the Chat, Myths and Legends of Golarion.
I REALLY like these ideas, especially the first- an opportunity for adventure seeds/hooks, essentially. The myths and legends could be used in much the same way.
Alternate magic systems (i.e. Tome of Magic) that would be released open content.
If they're going to produce an alternate magic system, I'd like to see something based on the Ars Magica system. Now, that would rock.
My wishlist
1) Pathfinder lunchbox
2) Pathfinder adult feature-film
3) Pathfinder magic decoder ring
Ok, honestly what I would really like to see is some big book that is similar to "Elminsters notes" about locations, items, and creatures unique in Pathfinder.
I always loved that section of the magazine and the one that stands out in my mind was the sword thrust into a pile of skulls.
I would LOVE to see a whole book devoted to stuff like that...stuff that you can use as adventure hooks.

Wasn't incarnum suppose to be Ars Magica for D&D?

I hope not. If that was the intent, it failed.
Incarnum was soul energy bound to chakras while Ars Magica deals in "word" magic. Magical effects, at their most basic level, incorporate a Latin verb (perdo, rego, etc.) and a Latin noun (corpus, animal, herbam). When combined (perdo corpus; destroy body) they create changes in the world. Now, there is a good deal more complexity than I have touched on here. But it gives you an idea of how it works.
That is, if you didn't know already. I apologize if I re-capped something you already knew about.
True Name magic from the Tome of Magic was similar but still not right. ENWorld Publishing's Elements of Magic was similar as well.
I think the Ars Magica system is possible in d20 and it is something I have always wanted to see.

I too would like to see full-size maps for major encounters, possibly added to the map packs. The map packs are the only thing in my subscription I DONT particularly want, but the big fold-out maps are nice, and it gives me the discount on everything else.
adding full size fold-out battlemats for the major, more complicated or interesting encounters would be great, like the map that came with the Age of Worms final adventure (that was really nice). For example, the gaul homestead, carowyn manor, the mesa fight with the bulettes, Karzoug's personal sanctum, the gold goblin, the cathedral of wrath

2) PF RPG DM screen
I would buy this.
I would also like some Pathfinder-themed mini's. Minis seem like they'd be fun to play with, but having never actually played with them before, they also seem rather inaccessible.
Some nice, high quality plastic Pathfinder guys to go with all the rest of the accessories, the maps, etc., would be great.
I believe that the D&D psionics rules are OGL, so unless Paizo is wanting to do something different with them (for instance with PfRPG), they already exist in Pathfinder. Now a psionics-focused adventure or guidebook would still be pretty cool.
Greg, you're my hero. ^_^

I don't remember who at Paizo said, but someone said that they'd like to find a way to balance psionics with arcane magic. Their reason for psionics being broken is that you can spend all your power points on your highest level powers and never on anything less, while arcane limits how much higher level powers you can do per level to as little as once per day. I agree with that assessment.
Old-school style box sets!

Old-school box sets are crazy expensive. We ran the numbers, and we'd have to charge like 200 bucks or more to not lose money on them. Partially because we're sticklers for using full-color art, and partially because those box sets are complicated.
Which brings up a similar point.
Would folk be interested in paying 200+ bucks for a boxed set?

Not I. I would envy those who did buy it. I'd stay awake at nights scheming about how to buy it. But I wouldn't buy it.
Ouch! I was hoping part of the old schoolness of the sets would be the price.
As an aside, if you guys ran the numbers on this already, that must mean you had some ideas for some sets... Any chance of some clues?

Scheme #1: Tell James Jacob I'll proofread the contents of the boxed set for product. ;-)

1. More region/city supplements
Paizo, please please do an urban supplement that's more like Ars Magica's Cities and Guilds and less like the total letdown of Cityscape. You guys can do it, the force is strong in you.
Also:
1. A classes splatbook (a bunch of Golarionish BCs ,PrCs, feats - balanced, fitting in with fluff)
2. A book on evil outsiders ... that beats Book of Fiends. Now that's an ambitious goal and will likely require using The Logue and maybe hiring Monte... but it's doable :)
3. Golarion arms and equipment guide - more setting-specific crunchy bits on items, magic items, buildings, hirelings...
Overall I believe that Paizo's fluff is second to none in terms of quality and quantity, what we need now is more crunch - what we have is excellent, but still I use far too many WotC and 3PP crunchbooks for comfort. I want it all to be Paizo !
The all-star Adventure path that includes hooks for 15th+ level characters from all previous APs. Of course, you'll need to fix high level play first.

Take a look at White Wolf. They tried to release an old school box set of Exalted Dreaming of the First Age. The project has been plagued with enough problems to scare any game publisher to never try it again.

Nope; as in, we didn't bother really doing much in the way of boxed set brainstorms because we were pretty sure going in that we wouldn't be able to afford them.

Depends on what's in the box. If it were a mega-adventure, some fold out maps for said mega-adventure, player hand-outs, and some cool dice (I love dice! and they're cheap, right?) I'd probably be in.
Or, if it were, say, the Pathfinder version of a supplement like Darksun (perhaps set on one of the other planets in the solar system), Spelljammer (feel free to edit out the silly elements), or Planescape, that would almost certainly peak my interests.
In fact, while we're on the topic of exotic 2e campaign settings, have you guys ever considered doing a one shot book for a setting like that within the confines of Golarion? I realize your bread and butter is adventures, but I wouldn't mind seeing a stand alone product which effectively recasts Darksun/SJ/PS in the same way as Pathfinder effectively is a recast of Greyhawk.
In fact, now that I mention it, I'm salivating at the thought...

Isn't there a "maybe, but WAY down the line" plan for the Red and Green planets to get that sort of treatment? Not exactly what you're looking for, but some of the Dark Sun elements sound like they'd find their way into the Green planet setting and there's plenty of space out there between the stars for a Spelljammer-like scene to be going on.
Man I miss Dark Sun.

Yes. But not this year.
