I know Paizo likes to support topics/AP setting material across multiple lines and I'm a fan of the method.
I'd really like to see additional treatments for topics in Ultimate Campaigns that are of player interest but don't fit as cleanly into one of the other lines.
I know we're getting PC: Quests & Campaigns, but it only specifically mentions expanding upon the PC background expansion and the Kingdom-building rules.
Things I'd like to see in future Companions:
1. A Companion treatment/expansion on the rules for running a business. Expand upon it to include Knightly Orders, Thieves' Guilds, Temples, Arcane Academies, Merc companies, etc.
2. Strongholds (beyond the Kingdom Building idea of stronghold) - houses, castles, towers, etc.
3. Building/buying a house, HQ, tower, castle, etc.
4. Expanding on the fame & relationships subsystems mentioned for UC.
My players and I really like these kinds of topics because they immerse the players more deeply in the setting. I'm also a big fan of many of the subsystems introduced in the various APs, but they're often a flash-in-the-pan and then never developed any further or broadened for inclusion beyond a particular AP.
Using Bethesda & Skyrim as an example, if they can base an entire DLC pack on homesteading in a fantasy RPG & fully integrate it into the game, my players and I can't be alone wanting more for players than feats, spells, and traits. I love those too, but they're only cool in these books because/when they reinforce the fluff.
Count me in as +1 to BP's idea. Half of my players are really interested in all of these things, and PF support for them would be most welcomed.
How do you two know what's in Ultimate Campaign yet? Has it been released and I didn't notice?
Put another way: Why do you think it needs expanding? Do you already know the full scope of what's in the book?

if you check out the product page they pretty much tell you what is in it...
as for the OP, i like the sound of your idea!
