Pathfinder 1E What project would you like Paizo to tacke next for Pathfinder?

[Glade Riven]

I voted for psionics. I'm not concerned on whether or not they go psipoints, special abilities, or similar casting style as Core spellcaster. What I would like is better, more interesting fluff for psionics. The WotC fluff for psionics (even the Eberron stuff) is bland and uninteresting. It felt like it was tacked on with scotch tape and paperclips.

Psionics and Monster PCs. Epic level play would be on my 'Do Not Want' list.

Hmm.

I want to see psionics done right (as my fiancé puts it, spooky at the low end, evocative of the Force at higher levels). Although I'm not that sold on a "monsters as races" book, a book of new races might be nice (although, as many of the races I'd like to see updated for Pathfinder aren't open content, they'd probably have to be genuinely new races). So could an Asia-themed book (perhaps dealing with the Tian cultures). And I wouldn't mind seeing modern and s-f rules, as long as there were still also rules for involving magic.

Epic-level play I could take or leave.

Firstly, I'd like to have updated Modern rules. I'd love to see a Modern Pathfinder line of books like Urban Arcana, D20 Past/Future/Apocalypse.

Psionics could be fun, but kinda tangental to my needs.

A monsters as PCs would be nice

And finally, epic play, which I'd buy but probably read more for fun than actually utilize, like I did with EPH. Just never seem to get to those rarified levels whilst gaming ..

I'm relatively new to Pathfinder, but have spend quite some time with 3.5. I'm quite happy with what I've seen so far, but here's my thoughts.

What I'd like to see...
An Asia-inspired setting that's influenced by Marco Polo's China, Mongol Hordes, Thai princes, and a touch of Bioware's Jade Empire. Despite liking Ninjas and Samurai, I don't really want fictional Japan thrown in with the rest of the setting. I also wouldn't mind see this setting as an adventure path with a Silk Road plot where it takes the players to Indian, Chinese, Thai, and Mongolian equivalents.

Psionics, but stripped down. I don't a psionic rogue, a psionic fighter, a psionic whatever class. Just give me a power point using psion that uses the existing magic spells and a few new ones. This gives it the defining characteristic of a new magic mechanic using power points, but is easy to integrate because it has a spell list of mostly existing spells.

A planar setting. I'd love to see the Pathfinder version of a place like Sigil. I'd like to see planes that are built for adventuring in and encounter sites like a graveyard of the gods. Perhaps this can be a part of the epic level play some people want.

What I don't want to see...
If a bunch of rules bloat and power creep. This is one of the things that turned me off of 3.5 and kept me from even considering Pathfinder until recently. The Advanced Players Guide seems to have avoided this, but I see there are race specific books out and coming out. I'm not sure how much crunch is in these books, but my initial impression was "Ah! Splat books! Think of the children!"

There are several distinct cultures currently lumped under the heading of "Tian." It's difficult to say what's going to be done with them.

Indeed. Psionics have historically been handled rather clumsily in D&D and its derivatives; let's see Pathfinder actually make it work!

Ooo, definitely. I loved Planescape.

To say nothing of the fact that it's that many more books for which we end up having to shell out.

In addition to the above choices, how about iIn the short term: a Pathfinder Companion on black powder/gun powder and other strange technology found on Golarion. This does not have to be extensive, but I think it would sate many fans' hunger for something new and fresh and distinctive to Golarion without Paizo over-committing. A PF Comp is 32 pages, just enough to whet appetites and give us something to funky to play with if we want. Pretty please, Wes?

One good note I can pass along is that the folks at Paizo have stated they are against over 'splatting' Pathfinder. They are trying to learn from the lessons of 3.X, and are keeping the rules books to 2-3 a year with more fluff-centric optional stuff rounding out the rest of the publishing schedule. The race books they have put out are very fluffy, and tied to their home campaign world of Golarion.
