One more post on the races options for my E6 project. While my setting doesn't necessarily have the same races as Pathfinder, which is very D&D, part of the reason I'd possibly use Pathfinder is to have more races available. Here's the complete list (minus psionics) of races in the rulebooks, I believe. I'll bold the ones that represent races explicitly in my setting, leave races that I wouldn't mind if someone played alone, and use strikethrough on races that I explicitly won't allow.
Core:
- Dwarf
- Elf
- Gnome
- Half-elf
- Half-orc (called just Orc in Old Night system)
- Halfling
- Human
Featured: (about 50/50 in terms of what I'd allow)
- Aasimar (called nephilim, but moved to appendix. On the fence, but it someone really wanted to play one, I wouldn't probably balk.
Catfolk- Dhampir
Drow- Fetchling (shadow genasi?) (Would use for Grislings/Hyperboreans)
- Goblin
Hobgoblin- Ifrit (fire genasi) (called surturs)
Kobold- Orc (could use as an alternate for orc. There's no half-orcs in my setting, but I don't care which stats you use.
- Oread (earth genasi) (called dvergs_
Ratfolk(they exist but are specifically a monster race only)- Sylph (air genasi) (hey, I use the same name!)
- Tengu
- Tiefling (called kemlings)
- Undine (water genasi) (called tritons)
Uncommon: (otherwise known as, with one exception, not appearing in any of my games)
- Changeling

UPDATE: In a completely unrelated tangent to add on, I've often been fascinated by the tiny home movement, but I think it's gotten out of hand. Let's say, for example, that my wife dies or something, I'm a widower in my mid-50s, and I decide that even though I probably can't afford it, I want to retire. Because I probably can't afford it, although maybe I can with life insurance, I want to buy some land out in the country for $100k or less, in Wyoming or maybe Colorado or Montana or even parts of Utah or Idaho. But Tiny Homes are usually surprisingly expensive. Why wouldn't a buy a regular mobile home instead? For about the same price, I can easily get 2-3x the square footage. I don't need lots of space, but if I'm sleeping in a loft, have no real space for an office and small library because I'm somewhere between 300-500 sq feet, why wouldn't I just get a mobile home for the same price that's 1200+ square feet, comes with three bedrooms (one of which could become an office/library) two bathroom, a spare bedroom for visitors, and a decent kitchen and living room space?
Living in a mobile home naturally comes with a bit of a stigma if you're in a trailer park, but if you have one isolated out in the country, who cares? It's cheap, it's functional, and it gives me everything that I need. Why overspend on a tonier tiny home, or a big full-sized "normal" house when I can do this instead and have all I need? A double wide is easily under $100k, maybe even under $80k. Heck, I've seen 100-+ sq ft single wide's in the $50ks. Although in that case, I probably lose the spare bedroom.
This assumes I'm a widower. My wife is unlikely to go for this plan. In multiple angles. She really doesn't want to live in Wyoming or any other "cold state" either.
I don't know what brought that on. Watching a bunch of widower and/or bachelor retirees in tiny homes on YouTube over the weekend, I guess. Kind of made me wonder what I would do if I were in their shoes.
