And it shows how good at adventure design you and Greg are that it went from that to the amazing adventure it ended up as.

When will my previous PDF be updated to the Remaster?

It will be during the Paizo business day so earliest it will probably happen is 10 am PST. But I would expect it within a few hours of that.

Does the Pathfinder 2e corebook require the Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide or is it good on its own? I'm really just interested in one book having all the rules to run a game (more specifically, the rules necessary to run Starfinder 2e).

To reiterate what Dancing Wind said, the Pathfinder 2nd Edition Core Rulebook has been replaced by two remastered rulebooks, Pathfinder 2nd Edition Player Core and Pathfinder 2nd Edition Player Core 2. (Piazo did not put a "1" in the title of the first Player Core rulebook, but we players nevertheless call it Player Core 1.)

The Pathfinder 2nd Edition GM Core and the Pathfinder 2nd Edition Monster Core are written for the GMs (gamemasters). The GM Core is slightly handy for the players, because it contains some treasure tables describing high-level items the player character could purchase. However, the Archives of Hethys under Equipment are combined together and have search and sorting functions, so they are much easier to reference.

The Pathfinder 2nd Edition Gamemastery Guide was written exclusively for GMs, and its most useful content has been moved into the Pathfinder 2nd Edition GM Core. It is not necessary.

The materials necessary for the Starfinder 2nd Edition playtest are described in the article Paizo Blog: Starfinder Playtesting Overview. It recommends Pathfinder 2nd Edition Player Core and Pathfinder 2nd Edition GM Core but not Player Core 2. And suggests that the Archives of Nethys are enough. I suspect that the GM Core is for the GM running the playtest scenarios, but I do not know that for certain.

Page 5 of the Starfinder 2nd Edition Playtest Rulebook repeats this:

Starfinder 2nd Edition Playtest Rulebook, Introduction chapter wrote:

REQUIRED PRODUCTS

To cram as much playtest content as we could
...

A couple of additions/corrections. GM Core is a bit different from the Gamemastery guide and a lot more necessary now, as all of the magic items and some of the how to play the game rules moved there.

Starfinder Player Core, GM Core, and Alien Core were announced as the first 3 Starfinder rulebooks. Technically Galaxy Guide is first but not a Rulebook.

I think everyone needs to calm down, because we aren't getting a major rewrite of the classes. Sayre already said they are incorporating the errata which we already have, changing OGL language to ORC, and that is it. This isn't going to be a Player Core rework of the core classes.

This is just an errata update.

Starfinder Class playtest for Technomancers and Mechanics is coming in 2025, likely very early because I'm pretty sure they said those two would be in the core book.

Slight correction they said they wanted those 2 classes available when the Core Rules released, but they are in an unannounced book coming in early 2026.

Also to help manage expectations, this is a very different playtest than PF2 was. It honestly feels like more of a PF2 supplement playtest, but more elaborate. Instead of just testing the new classes, we are also testing, ancestries, equipment, feats, spells, and the 2 new skills. There are new actions, new conditions, etc, but they rule system itself is the same one that PF2 is using.

For weapons it is Level 0,2,4,10,12,16,19. And basically C is base. T is +1 potency, A is +1 striking, S is +2 striking, E is +2 greater striking, etc… you don’t have to change out runes so cost is the same minus the previous runes in silver pieces.

If I recall correctly, each would get so long it would start causing havoc with the messageboards. PMG would sadly have to shut it down. Then he finally figured out a way to prevent the havoc.

That was my understanding as well. we would basically get to a certain number of posts and the database couldn't handle it.

RIP PMG,

As others have mentioned I often hung out with him in the Paizo Webchat as well.

I remember "helping" him with the forum code, by finding things like you used to be able to spam the boards by just hitting Submit Post multiple times. Or double posting to get around the smurf filter (post twice delete the first). Once he fixed that one he just set my message board image to a smurf.

Even though I haven't talked to him as much as I would have liked of late, he will definitely be missed.

Edit: And clearly I have forgotten how to format text on the boards.

Nope that link (at least in Rysky's post) is the playtest material for the PDF from Paizo, no payment.

I really feel like if you're going to offer a product, especially a digital one, then that should be usable as-is without having to play pinball with which version of the software you're using.

Totally understand the frustration here. To be clear, as others have said, Adventure Paths by no means "become obsolete once the software updates"; there will just always be a necessary period of adjustment following the release of a major Foundry version update. If you have any active games that you need to avoid disrupting, your safest bet is always going to be waiting a few weeks for any system or module dependencies to be updated (and for all the resulting bugs found and fixed) before you upgrade.

We're doing our best to minimize that disruption by ensuring Foundry version compatibility between all volumes of any given Adventure Path; so when volume 3 of Stolen Fate released for Foundry v11 only, the dev team made sure to update volumes 1 and 2 for v11 compatibility on the same day. All volumes of other APs are currently (as of 6/29/23) fully compatible with v10, even the ones that released when v9 was the latest version, and when we do update those to v11, we'll be updating the whole AP at once.

Granted, this doesn't help with the specific situation you mentioned: what if you're running Stolen Fate volume 3 (only available for v11) and any volume of Blood Lords (currently only available for v10) at the same time? Unfortunately, there's not really a solution for this beyond setting up multiple Foundry instances running different versions -- absolutely possible using a single license, but potentially requiring some additional technical knowledge. Keeping in mind that this method is technically unsupported by either Foundry or Paizo, you may want to check out this relevant thread on Foundry's unofficial subreddit, and the official Discord is a great source of

...

And 3 of them have finished up. As a Foundry System Developer, I can say updates take time and you usually can't start updating until the final release. This one is awesome, but did require complete rebuilds of ever Compendium. Plus with these modules you also have to wait for the system update. So it just takes some time.

It should be in your order history but not in your downloads. This order does not include any PDFs.

Right it should be but isn’t.

I was reviewing and the digital is going to be delivered by code so it won't show up in the order history of your Paizo account so we should be all good there.

Abomination Vaults re-release does not occur until May, Outlaws of Alkenstar's first book - Punks in a Powderkeg releases on Wednesday, coinciding with the release of the premium content module for Foundry VTT.

I was mistaken. Thank you.

Third, your willingness to chat with the customers first in your weekly visits to the old chat room and then taking over this joke thread and making it awesome has always been one of my favorite things.
