So now that we Occult and Horror Adventures what do you guys think or at least want the next "themed" book to be?
I am hoping for "Sci-fi Adventures" or "Space Adventures". Though I also wouldn't mind steampunk, primitive, time traveling, and/or fairy tale adventures..
Planar Adventures would have plenty of oppurtunity for more Kineticist support. Dice Gods know they could use it.
PLanar/Space Fantasy or Science fiction/Subterranean/High Seas/Steampunk would be obvious choices.
I doubt we would ever see "High School Adventures" but you never know;)
I like the idea of High Seas Adventures as well.
A planar adventure as already suggested would be awesome. That kind of adventure where there is a bit of mess which makes the PC lost in the story and they have to find out how to survive\accomplish the mission,
I do think some Science Adventures would probably be on the docket considering the success of Technology Guide and the trend of genre material for the past few books. However, I also expect a book to expand upon adventure and skills. New environmental rules and skill uses would be lovely. Ultimate Adventure would also be a nice companion to Ultimate Campaign.

I wouldn't mind seeing Paizo's answer to Planescape, but more closely tied to Golarion (not that anything was wrong with the original Planescape being a whole essentially separate setting, but this would guard against the risk of splitting their own setting market, as well as discourage the WotC lawyers).
Edit: More thoughts:
An equivalent of Savage Species would be really cool.
A reorganization and major fleshing out of Witches, Witchcraft, and Witchbloods would be cool, although unfortunately the way the latter has been thrown together (as just more monsters, instead of fleshing out the fascinating kernel of backstory that for now remains unsprouted) will make it tough to sort out.
I am sure we will one day get a book focused on environments but that isn't really a genre based book like horror.
Maybe we will get "Romantic Adventures" or "Mystery Adventures".

Planar Adventures - as a huge Planescape fan, yes, please! The form you suggest here would also please me very much. Of course, the subject has been handled in different Campaign Setting and older Chronicles line books, also in GameMastery Guide, but the whole hardcover dedicated to planar settings would be a VERY welcome way to open up a huge sandbox to play with. To me this feels like a very welcome addition to Campaign Setting hardcovers.
Planar Adventures would be nice, so we could get more info on the planes.
I would like to see an ultimate book that covered the more "survival" skills. It sounds like Intrigue did a good job with the intrigue-focused skills, but there are still other skill areas that could use fleshing out. Plus I would love to have a book that offered lots of advice/subsystems relevant to games more focused on survival in harsh environments.
So lets see what kind of "Adventure" books we could get...
Sci-fi
Steampunk
Romance
Mystery
Fairy Tale
Space
Time Travel
Planar
Primitive
Modern
Musical
High Seas
Aquatic
Mythic
Fable
Historical
Religious
Dreamscape
Crime
Drama
Mindscape
Comedy
Monstrous
Heroic
Villainous

They've done sci-fi with Iron Gods, and it's likely too soon for a return.
Space is a bit funky as well.
They've covered villains with Player Companions.
Monstrous Adventures could be fun. Take a crack at a level adjustment system that works.
Time travel could be fun, but I'm not sure that's a whole book. Would be interesting though, and does need rules. Could pair well with an AP visiting the past.
Aquatic Adventures is on my short list, especially since we know they want to do something with the aboleths eventually. Plus Azlant.
Planar Adventures would also be high up there. Pathfinder has never really done a Manual of the Planes book, but their own cosmology has grown over the years. You need to buy six or seven 64-page books to really get all their planar details.
War is another topic. Alternate mass battle rules. Rules for the PCs in the middle of battle. Running a campaign around a, well, military campaign and such.

I like the idea of an Aquatic Adventures AP, go to Azlant, maybe even find the truth if what happened to Aroden.
Maybe Aquatic Adventures for sea-faring folk, merfolk, gillmen, undines, etc? Besmara might like it!
I do think, however, Planar Adventures is more likely. Suli are one of my favorite races flavor-wise, but they desperately need some lovin' along with kineticists.
I think I would utterly enjoy a First World AP/Adventures book, too. Who exactly are the Eldest? What are their roles in the grand scheme of things? Who serves them? What factions are there? What boons do you get if you worship the Eldest? If you were kidnapped and raised by fey as a child, what was your life like in the First World? Does Baba Yaga ever not have warts on her face?
Though, I admit to chomping at the bit for Strange Aeons - Cthulhu, Pathfinder Style.
Lastly, Steampunk? I just don't see it fitting in Golarion as it is now, but Victorian Adventures as a skip ahead in time could be intriguing.

"Fairy Tale" and/or "Myth and Legend" Adventures sound nice, actually - let's try and retouch with fantasy gaming's ultimate roots.
Flame me if you will, but I honestly feel like at least a few good books of fairy tales/folklore/mythology should be required reading before one takes to the gaming table. You just don't get what it's really about without it.
Well, since you asked for it...

As long as I don't have to read "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the original Klingon, I'll be fine.
Seriously, though, I am surprised by those who do come to the table without reading Yates or Aurthurian Legends, or Beowolf, or having exposure to some element of these classics. Well, OK, Beowolf is hard, I will allow watching "The 13th Warrior" instead.
We could also add dungeon crawl, western, and toyland adventures to the list.
I would not want to see a "Reality Adventures";)
More Mythic!
Mythic Part Deux: Mythic Boogalu?
Put me in the camp that would love some more planar themed materials. I really hope that the enthusiasm for aquatic adventures isn't taken up by Paizo. The last thing I want to see is a three hundred page rule book to make underwater combat even more tedious.
I think that most of what's in here falls into a mix of Player Companion line and Campaign Setting line, and occasionally bits and pieces of RPG line.
Not just any hardcover books ether but books that are specialized on a theme like the occult or horror.
I've been assuming this is all RPG line (and through thread drift Campaign Setting) hardcovers.
Granted I think some suggestions might be niche enough that in effect they would be maybe more appropriate for smaller sized books.
Look for the Mythic Mania trilogy. If you want more mythic, I suspect those will satisfy you. XDMore Mythic!
Mythic Part Deux: Mythic Boogalu?
I actually backed the Kickstarter, I just want moar!!! :-)
Looks like no "themed" book next year. Unless you count Starfinder but that is more of a new setting/rulebook then a "themed" book for Pathfinder.
Just to clarify to us noobs.... the Module line are basically one off adventures?
How about "Slapstick Adventures"? That would be about as far as you could possibly get from the upcoming Horror Adventures (although I can already imagine a really silly combination of the two).
Starfinder I figure kind of is the themed book. since I think it would be difficult to just adapt science fiction elements straight onto the existing Pathfinder chassis, without modifying character building, skills, etc.
Just to clarify to us noobs.... the Module line are basically one off adventures?
Yes.
Hmm, themed books. To be honest, I don't feel the need for any new one right now. I haven't fully digested Occult Adventures and Ultimate Intrigue yet, and Horror Adventures is already coming up. Though I guess it will easier to grasp than the Occult version with its many new concepts.
If they make up another such book, I guess I will buy it anyway - thanks to the low price for the RPG PDFs. But I am glad more general books like Villain Codex and Encounter Codex will be next.
