Human-centric but still integrating non-human races? Check2. Rooted in swords-n-sorcery style adventuring, but supportive of other genres? Check3. A compelling mix of the familiar, the unusual, and the new? Check, check, check4. Designed to support a wide range of playstyles? Check5. Limited/non-existent metaplot? Huge Check6. Strikes balance of detail & areas for GM's to fill in?  Check7. As a GM, does it inspire me to write adventures for the setting? Big check.8. As a GM, does it make me wish I could play in that setting as a PC? Huge Check.Really, thus far, the only thing I strongly dislike about Golarion is the introduction of anachronistic elements like Andoran's 17th-century colonial garb.  [Yes, I've read & contributed to the threads arguing the pros- & cons-.  Sorry, I don't like it, end of story.]  Luckily, they're easily removed or downplayed.  In the early days of the setting, I didn't think that would be possible (remembering the promo art of Colonials fighting apes (?) in 19th-century-style British garbs & carbines).No setting will suit everyone's tastes perfectly, but Paizo's getting damn good at parting money from my wallet!Bottom Line: PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!</blockquote>
