What third party products do you think players NEED?
Not just favorite things that have a lot of fun cool options, but third party products that change the game so much that you don't understand why anyone would play without it anymore?
I'll start with; A while ago the very first third party products I was convinced to buy was Rogue Genius' Talented series. Afterwards normal non-talented Monk/Fighter became almost unplayable. (the only talented classes I've actually built myself). Monk and Fighter finally did what I wanted them to do instead of having to fiddle with the system to squeeze out enough playability to not die.

I haven't yet used it myself (although I do have a copy of it) but I've been told that the Mythic Core Spells book from Legendary games is an absolute MUST for any campaign that plans on doing mythic adventuring.
Thanks for the kind words. We're proud of Mythic Magic: Core Spells, which has mythic versions of EVERY spell in the Core Rulebook that isn't already in the Mythic Adventures hardback, and we think it is a pretty essential boost to your game if you're using the mythic rules.
However, if you're interested in the mythic rules you definitely want to check out the Mythic Mania Kickstarter we are running as a joint effort of Legendary Games, Kobold Press, Rogue Genius Games, and Dreamscarred Press, which will be producing THREE new rulebooks to expand the mythic rules: the Mythic Hero's Handbook, Mythic Monster Manual, and Mythic Spell Compendium.

Well. If you are into flying and flying combat, then Companions of the Firmament.
Seriously awesome approach, fully realised with a ton of resources from mounted/flying archetypes flying companions to scores of statted mooks who might try to shoot you out of the sky...
One of Endzeitgeist's Top Ten of 2013.

Seeing as Legendary Games are in the thread, I won't be running Iron Gods Ap without LG's awesome support. This will be the only AP I have ever bought from Paizo, and the related products will also be making my wishlist. Seems a no-brainer not to get the LG stuf to add more scope to the AP... Never bought any LG stuff either, so this one AP is quite the unit shifter...
I use the heck out of All That Glimmers by Raging Swan Press.
I like psionics, however, I've never been a fan of the spellpoint system. I would like to see a third party take on a Vancian style of psionics. I would really enjoy that a lot.
Mind you, I feel that Dreamscarred Press has done an excellent job on psionics for those that like spellpoint system. It's just not my cup of tea. But I love what they have done with it.
EDIT: Just realized this was for existing pdfs, not a wishlist. My bad. I think that Zombie Sky Press's Incantations In Theory and Practice book is a must have. Allows spells to feel more like rituals in the books and it allows non-magic classes to use them if they have the right skill. Great if you are doing a sword and sorcery game.
Isn't there a free third party Psionics product that uses spell slots lying around? Psionics Transcended. It marries ki with Psionics in some of the classes though.

From what I've seen, it's just a playtest. At least it is free.
I think I'd prefer something more complete.
