So Lost Omens: Mwangi Expanse was and still is great, but ironically enough, I found that the new ancestries within were kind of the weakest part of the book - not from a quality standpoint, mind you, but on the basis of there just not being that much on them - especially the brand-new folks like shisks, golomas and conrasus (anadi seem to be getting decent amount of love, relatively speaking, and gripplis and gnolls are already somewhat familiar to most people). Their writeups were only 6 pages each and mostly consisted of mechanical material, and they didn't feel well-integrated with the rest of LO:ME, with maybe a scant few references to their NPCs or settlements or what have you.

But! There is a way around this! Featuring them in other published material moving forward!
Whether that's Adventure Path volumes (especially those that continue to stick around Garund), stand-alone Adventures, Oneshots, Pathfinder Society scenarios, or anything else, I want to see more of these peoples, literally even - I have zero clue how to conceptualize a conrasu moving, for instance, or doing most other common adventuring activities.

Anyone else feeling this way?


The ones you're referring to are listed as being Rare. So while I'd also like to see more of them, I also wouldn't expect them to feature prominently in every Mwangi inspired adventure material that comes out. I have yet to play Strength of Thousands so can't speak to whether they're integrated into that or not.

Plus one on OP's request. I'd love to see more about these ancestries and more new ancestries also.

The one thing I'd add is we need to get these into the rotation for the pre-painted miniatures line. I'd love to have at least one miniature suitable for a PC of these cool ancestries.
