I like Golarion but I was wondering if Paizo has ever hinted at another campaign setting.
As much as I enjoy Golarion, I'd like a little more choice combined with their quality in products.
I think they've pretty much said they won't publish another setting. Different locations within Golarion (and its star system?) and related planes are what we're getting.
Any recommended?
Incoming: Razor Coast Kickstarter.
A few existing ones:
Midgard Campaign Setting.
Oathbound Seven (Pathfinder version of 3.5 Oathbound).
Whoa. Razor Coast looks bad@$$! I can't wait for that.
Is Midgard any good?

Product itself has high production values. Setting itself is great, not quite as "kitchen sinkish" as Paizo's Golarion (for good or bad, depends on taste), but certainly not specialized. That have some great ideas re both crunch and flavour.
Primary races are dwarves, elfmarked (half-elves), gearforged, humans, kobolds, minotaurs. Gnomes, goblins, and elves are mentioned but not as common adventurers. Didn't see half-orcs.
And I'm also looking forward to Razor Coast.
Midgard is Pretty good. Setting draws pretty heavily from Central and Eastern Europe, not so much the British isles/France/etc
It's not as "kitchen sink" like as Golarion (as mentioned above), but there is a post apocalyptic wasteland, some high magic areas, areas for Norse adventures, and empire run by dragons and dwarves have steampunk technology.
The Dwarves and Kobolds are way better developed in Midgard as races than they are in Golarion, IMHO
Upon reading, the Kobolds and Gnomes of Midgard seem really cool. I love the idea of playable Kobolds.
I just came across a setting called Rhune and it s labelled as "Stormpunk" (Viking/steampunk) and it is designed for Pathfinder.
Looks cool.
There are lots of 3.5 settings available in the bargain bins and secondhand racks of your FLGS, all the old Forgotten Realms and Scarred Lands books are easy to find and convert.
And especially keep an eye out for Privateer Press' Iron Kingdoms material. The Monsternomicon in particular is not just the best third-party 3.5 Monster Manual published, it's one of the top five Monster Manuals ever published.
One thing I noticed under 3.X D&D was that the internet was full of homebrew campaign settings. It was good to read and pick ideas from. These days they have all vanished and no one puts them up anymore.
I tend to find that published settings don't fit my tastes these days. All too different from the core concept of D&D/Pathfinder.
