Very nice. So, what is left at this point?

Kimmerian, Kimmeri-Kelt, Lapp, Lemurian, Moor, Mu, Pict, Pict (Half-Blood), Roman, Tlingit, and Viking. Since I'm reusing relevant ones from previous races (i.e., Moor-Amazon is the same as Amazon-Moor), each successive race has one fewer new cross to create than the one before. So Vikings will only have one new cross (Viking-Yakut) and Yakuts will be 100% reused previous crosses.

Anyway, I'll get it done.

And then you can move onto tri-ethnic waifs! ;)

I think those all just yield "common" men. Or that's my story anyway.

Gregor Mendel disagrees.

Here are the Kimmerian crosses:

Not surprisingly, a lot of "common" men here as well.

Here are the Kimmeri-Kelt crosses:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/k1rj6kn6azxhyt2/Bi-Ethnic_Waifs_of_the_Boreas_%2528Kimmeri-Kelt_Crosses%2529.pdf/file
Once again we have a race that's in the "common" range, so a lot of the offspring are "common" men as well.

Right, because we're essentially adding a third race to an already bi-ethnic race. See, you are embracing tri-ethnicity! ;)

I still say those are just "common" men. If Mendel doesn't like it, let him roll up 200,000 more race kits.

In record time, we have the Lapp crosses:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/buzc27k7ywsep15/Bi-Ethnic_Waifs_of_the_Boreas_%2528Lapp_Crosses%2529.pdf/file
Yet another race that contributed to "common" man, and which has many "common" offspring as a result. Next up, we will finally reach another "exotic" race.

Much appreciated as always!

This is one of the craziest, most ambitious projects I have seen for this game. Can't wait to see what the entire thing looks like.

The really crazy part will be if I decide to go back and roll new names for all of the otherwise duplicated race kits, so that all of them really are unique. That will add months to finishing the single-document version.

The Lemurian crosses are finished!

https://www.mediafire.com/file/oeh4ex9qa3wlr5i/Bi-Ethnic_Waifs_of_the_Boreas_%2528Lemurian_Crosses%2529.pdf/file
Due to the range of Lemurian complexions, a lot of these are more "exotic" looking than some of the others sets of crosses. However, there are a fair number of olive and bronzed complexions to be found here, so it might be interesting to occasionally see "common" men with Lemurian characteristics such as epicanthic folds, long arms, etc.

So when this is finished we will have a more than 700 pages book with more than 1 million (i dropped a number, did not do any math) pre-made characters for all races and for all classes. AWESOME!

If I go back and give new names to the duplicate kits (as I'm rather foolishly considering doing) before I assemble the final document, there will be 10,080 unique race kits in this supplement. Combined with the 576 race kits in the original Waifs of the Boreas, there will be a total of 10,656 race kits. Multiplying this by the 432 class kits in the original document would yield a total of 4,603,392(!!!) unique characters.

Wow, that even took work to work out the number of combos!

Here are the Moor crosses:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/2zr8bjdofjb9kdi/Bi-Ethnic_Waifs_of_the_Boreas_%2528Moor_Crosses%2529.pdf/file
Given the "exotic" complexion of the Moorish parent, none of these offspring quite fall into the typical range of "common" men (although, in another sense, these are all of course "common" men). But many will join those ranks in the next generation, so it may be interesting to have "common" men with Moorish grandparents (and who perhaps follow some Moorish customs).
