Honestly I'm just really excited for stuff on the core bastard bloodlines and the ogrekin. Those 3 make it all worth while for me.
The Huarizo :3

That is cool but definitely not a player race. You may have to wait until we get some stuff in Arcadia to see more llama and alpaca love. All I have to say is an Aztec inspired centaur with the lower half of a llama.

Lol thanks. As a GM I also function as an excellent enabler of want and mighty need creation.

Ten new heritages and alternate racial traits for half-elves and half-orcs—from the seafaring children of aquatic elves to the brash kin of desert orcs.
Details and new character options for adventurers from the famous half-elven refuge of Erages and the half-orc port city of Averaka.
The new heritages and possibility of flavor expansion have me really hopeful on the flavor side of things, particularly where their origins and the cultures they can pull from are concerned. And Averaka getting explored has me downright excited.
Four character themes to represent bastards of all races and pasts, including the envied celebrity, the misbegotten illegitimate, the scorned outcast, and the neglected unfortunate.
A slew of generation tables to inspire grim character backgrounds and determine the physical features inherited from non-human progenitors.
This does have me a bit worried about support for half-orcs with non-tragic parentage though, especially seeing "all pasts" boiled down to those four, with the odd one out probably geared towards half-elves/aasimar.
That and "bastard" sure gets flung around a lot...

Owlbear: I don't even know what I should say 'cause I'm an idiot a loser, microphone abuser...
Imrijka: Great, an owlbear with bad taste for music, just what we needed!
Seltyiel: LIMP BIZKIT AIN'T TRÜE METAL, BARECHEST CRÜEL THÜNDER CHARGE ATTACK!!!!!!!
In this particular scenario, I'd probably help out a fellow Bizkit and kick some half-elf/half-orc Bizkit-dissing butt. :D

Well to be fair half-orcs with non-tragic parentages would not be Bastards....so I was not really expecting much support for that concept.
I guess we are going to just have to wait for Happy and Healthy Familys of Golarion.

Whoa, there's gonna be new heritages for half-elves and half-orcs?
Like, aasimartieflingdhampirskinwalker heritages!?
Yeah, similar, but not the same. ;]

Except it kind of does. Particularly in the American south (not all of it but at least the places I've been) it is associated with old racist notions about blood purity.

As far as I can tell no one has mentioned this, but honestly I am curious if they go into what happens with other possible mixes. I mean there is already a feat of (x) blooded where you also count as another type of humanoid for humans. Do shorter human Cheliaxians get accused of having ancestors who were having too much fun with the slips? I mean what happens if a Half-Elf and a Half-Orc love each other very much, or if a Tiefling and Aasimar do for that matter? If certain mixes do not work does anyone bring up that it is strange that you can have a dragon produce offspring with a human, but say a human and a dwarf are not intercompatible?

Announced! Cover image is a mockup, and will change prior to publication.
An Elf (or Orc) finds a compatible Human mate, they get married or bond for life, settle down and start a loving happy family in a culturally diverse and accepting community. Are the off-spring still to be thought of as bastards?
Or do all half-elf and half-orc characters have to have a tainted back-story to be interesting?
Half-bloods of Golarion would be a better title.

Any chance at some sneak peeks during this month to wet the appetite of those wanting the book.
Aside from this blog?

That's pretty much my thoughts that I posted earlier.
From reading the Description, I get the impression that Featured and Uncommon races got very slim pickings in this book and got one page if it was lucky to get one.

To be fair, most of the other half-X races already got books. Aasimar, Dhampir, Tieflings, and Geniekin are getting a book. Fetchlings are all I can really think of that are hybrids that need a book. But yeah, I've been waiting for a Half-Orc book for ages. Favorite race!
Also, hoping for some stuff on Racial Heritage. As a GM, I wish it was a little more limited.

Lol I feel you. I might have to wait till tomorrow for this since I've already gotten my purchase notice but need to throw some cash in my account.
What I'm hoping for myself is some ogrekin love since they have been featuring prominently in my home game and I would love to see more on them to go with the half-elf and half-orc content. I'm really hoping we don't get a lot of stuff on the elemental kin since this feels more like a book meant to cover the crossbred races that come from material plane non outsiders more then anything else (i.e. the aforementioned core 2, ogrekin, changelings, etc.). Also from the sounds of it they are now getting their own book so it would feel like a squandering of pages.

My main interest is the Changeling...which I can't imagine getting a book of their own, and don't fit into the "planes" themed books.
So this was kind of my motivator for this one.
Never had much interest in Half Orcs or Half elves at our table (shrugs)
If there is enough Changeling crunch in the book to make it worth the cost, I'll probably still get it....guess I'll wait till people have access to the PDF and see how it pans out.
