Cross-posted from over on EN World. Hopefully, this is the right forum for it.
Of all the class changes made in Pathfinder, sorcerer bloodlines are easily my most favorite. Given that, I virtually always pick up third-party products that have new sorcerer bloodlines in them.
Lately however, there have been enough bloodlines written that it's getting tricky to remember them all. As such, I've written this list, which I'm posting here so everyone can use it as a resource. As more sorcerer bloodlines are written, I'll update this post accordingly.
Thanks for this both here and at ENWorld. It helped me make up my mind about Spes Magna's next subscriber PDF. I had been thinking about doing up some sorcerer bloodlines, but after seeing these lists, I figure other folks have got those bases covered.

A pity. I quite enjoy Spes Magna products, and I would have loved to see what you came up with for additional sorcerer bloodlines.
There is also the Lycanthrope bloodline from Legend of the Shining Jewel, plus the Ancestral and Shadow bloodlines from Wayfinder #1.
Note that I have the OGC from the bloodlines for LSJ and the Book of Arcane Magic automated and available in my character sheet (see my profile). I'll be adding additional OGC as it becomes available.

Thanks for the heads-up erian! I've added the materials from LSJ (which had somehow slipped under my radar) and Wayfinder #1 over on my EN World post, but awkwardly, I can't seem to edit my post here anymore.

Well... f**k. I have always complained about books offering such and such option for character creation because I like to know my options before creating a character that will probably last several years (in real time). That's why I never liked the Kits in AD&D2, and why I dislike the plethora of prestige classes in 3.5. As a GM, I'm also wary of some players' tactics, springing a character with abilities I didn't know about beforehand. On the other end of the spectrum, I like feats, mainly because you can get them later in your character development (and, if the GM is lenient enough, you can re-train some). Retraining a class is not possible.
Now... this? I wasn't aware that other bloodlines existed. It's logical that they do and I shouldn't have been surprised. But this isn't even about the character's attributes or progress, it's the whole character concept.
Now that I know, though, I'll have to dig deeper. Any chance some of these are OGL and online?

I don't know for all sources, but I can confirm that the Wayfinder, Book of Arcane Might, and Legend of the Shining Jewel material is all Open Game Content--this is what allows me to include the material in my character sheet. If you want to check out the bloodlines, download the file and you'll find a Bloodlines tab in the Excel worksheet. It summarizes all the mechanics of each bloodline.
I'll be adding the Pestilence and Wayfinder-sourced bloodlines soon. I also may pick up Class Options Vol. 1 and so will be adding any from there that are OGC.
