Are all these guides and stuff still updated?
It depends on the guide. Some are horribly outdated, but useful to grok the core of a class. Some get updated all the time -- Gortle and VampbyDay are two guide authors that update their guides quite frequently. I think you just have to look around, and take all suggestions with a grain of salt.
Hmm

Many are, but not all of them. The Guide to the Guides page usually lists the latest update so you can check how recent they are.
Most of the older ones will also still apply. Newer books usually add stuff to the game but don't fundamentally change how classes work.

Date updates for all guides I currently see on the page. Most guides named in a shorthand way. Some of the dates are just contextual guesses on what player options I see talked about if I can't find a latest date on the guide.
Alchemist
* RPGBOT (Feb 2023)
* PubAlchem (Feb 2023)
Bard
* Decent Enough (Jan 2023)
* RPGBOT (Mar 2023)
Barbarian
* Gortle's (Nov 2022)
* RPGBOT (Mar 2023)
Champion
* RPGBOT (Mar 2023)
Cleric
* Support Guide (Jan 2022)
* RPGBOT (Apr 2022)
Druid
* Gortle's (Nov 2022)
* RPGBOT (Mar 2022)
Fighter
* RPGBOT (Sep 2022)
Inventor
* Definitive Inventor Build Guide (Jul 2022)
* RPGBOT (Jul 2022)
Investigator
* RPGBOT (Mar 2022)
And that's all I have time for. Please iterate through the rest of the guides to check.
Blaster Caster: the Discerning Archmage's Guide to Small Ball
Any discussion thread for this?
Can all the dates be double checked and updated? I don't really feel great about being relied on for the multiple times I've audited those dates in this thread.

I can confirm that the one I wrote: Martial Magicks, a guide for the 2nd edition Magus, has been updated up to Rage of Elements.
Do anyone think there will be any interest in new guides after the Remaster?

Not as long as the old guides get updated. Wizard might warrant it because the schools are structured so differently now, and witch has some much more powerful options to evaluate. But beyond that we just have some new feats and spells. The remaster isn't that big a shift and all the old content is still compatible.

I would think that Remastered would spawn some mixture of new guides and Remaster-updated versions of existing 2nd Edition guides.

I believe most guide authors that have been keeping their guides up to date will update them at some point. I at least plan to do so.
My guess is that most current guides will start updating in a month or two from now on. Not only lots of people won't have access to the book, but these things also take time.

Agreed, it takes a lot of time if you're starting from the ground up. As for new guides, it'll partly depend on how many new players the remaster drags in, both in terms of willingness to write and an interest in reading them.
It'd be relatively easy to change most guides for the remaster, but some of the existing ones haven't been meaningfully updated in years. Hell, I've been working on and off on a Fighter class guide for about 5 months and that's exactly what motivated it: a lack of analyses for newer options plus the release of Treasure Vault. I thought about rushing it for November, but... Nah, these things take time.

I hope the cleric guides are updated. Their new feats, holy and unholy, and the warpriest changes make them the most improved and changed in the remaster.

Barring anything I need to add in due to accidentally missing something or glossing over something, My Magus Guide has been updated to the Remaster!
I wonder if it'll be treated as Unchained was, as far as sorting guides by class.

My guides will be a while. Still don't have my PC2 book.

Wanted to submit my familiar guide for the list - Magnificent Menagerie: A PF2e Remaster Familiar Guide.

I'll be marking everything that's Remaster as such in the Guide to the Guides!

I guess I proved myself a liar, because I wrote two guides.

Not noticing if these marks have been applied yet.
Other things for you to update:
* RBGBOT has made remaster guides for all relevant classes on new links in order to preserve the legacy guides.
* A Decent Enough Guide to Bards updated in September 2023
* A Decent Enough Guide to Rangers updated in October 2023

A Decent Enough Guide to Bards is still halfway there on the remastering process. I'm recovering from a surgery so it will take some time, will post here whenever it is done.

A Decent Enough Guide to Bards has been remastered. That said, it probably has lots of things that flew by during revision (be it bad wording, typos or wrong terminology). If you spot something that needs fixing, send me a DM in these forums and I will change it if needed.
As for the Ranger guide, that one will take a bit more time. Mostly because remaster changed basically nothing and it feels more of a chore than anything else.

Regarding Ravingdork's Crazy Character Emporium
Every new character added to my Emporium will adhere to the Remaster rules changes as closely as is possible at the time of posting. I will not be starting a new thread just for Remaster characters.
I will not be updating earlier characters to Remaster rules en mass; sadly, it is an endeavor for which I am unlikely to have the time. However, I may go ahead and update specific characters to Remaster rules as part of updating them for other reasons (such as to take advantage of newly released content), if it suits my fancy and as time allows, or possibly upon request.
The new remastered characters will be placed in a "Remaster" subfolder of their own on OneDrive, and the non-remastered versions will be preserved in the original Emporium location.

I realize I forgot to put my guide to the caster summoner here.
And the associated discussion.

I also put a link to my guide to blasting.
And the associated discussion
But I have the feeling the Guide to Guides hasn't been updated since some time... I hope it's still live as it's very useful resources.
Zenith still updates the list every couple of months. His guide list updated March 2024. Just nothing here since Dec 2023.
Go direct to his site if you want to make sure he gets your guide.

Hello! Gortle is right, I only check here every few months. You can comment on my site and I'll add your guide in a day or two (even if your comment doesn't show up)
But everything should now be updated in the Guide to the Guides!
Hi! I posted on the blogspot thread back in May about my "An Alchemist's Guide to Alchemical Items", but I think the comment got hidden behind a "Load More" link. If it could be added, I'd really appreciate it.

ottdmk: I really like your guide. One suggestion: Color the names in the table of contents with the same colors you use later to show rankings. That way the toc becomes a quick index to the rankings.
Glad you like the Guide! Your idea for the Table or Contents is an interesting one... I'll definitely consider that.
Blaster Caster: the Discerning Archmage's Guide to Small BallAny discussion thread for this?
I dead missed this question sorry, there have been a few on reddit (whenever I've updated I make a post there) I'll post one when the remaster update is prepped, which will be after I can review Player Core 2 for the other half of the base classes and some more spirit damage spells.
@Zenith: You can remove my guide to the Swashbuckler which is not up to date with the remaster and that I won't update because there are now far enough Swashbuckler guides that I don't see the point in keeping it.

Sadly none of them seem to have gotten updated to the Remaster.
For both editions of the Guide to the Pathfinder Guides:
Pathfinder Deities Across Editions by Elfteiroh (November 2024)
Interesting. If I'm reading UnArcane's spreadsheet correctly, before the War of Immortals in PF2E there were 365 living deities. After the War, there are 384 living deities, and 19 dead ones. Not sure I understand why there are 19 more living deities, or what caused the 19 dead ones to be dead (Gorum we know, of course).
A bunch of the orc deities were basically killed by their replacements in a process I believe is called the Crucible (someone fact check me?).

It's not my spreadsheet. It's by Elfteiroh.
If anyone is feeling ambitious, by my estimation the Player Core classes listed below have not had class guides (new or revisions) since their classes got Remastered:
Alchemist
Champion
Investigator
Monk
Ranger
Sorcerer
Swashbuckler
Witch
Go on folks, make your mark! :)
