Welcome to Pod Against the Machine, the only Actual Play podcast that specifically mentions its opposition to the machine in the title. We’re a ragtag group of five creating an epic story while playing through the Iron Gods Pathfinder First Edition adventure path from Paizo publishing. It’s like Dungeons and Dragons, complete with wizards, monsters, and skeletons...but with an added bonus of evil robots and horrifying aliens, all tied together with our (hopefully) funny banter, interesting characters, and edge-of-your-seat action.

Thank you, everyone who came out to support our Extra Life marathon this past weekend! We were able to raise $800 to support Children's Miracle Network, absolutely blowing by our initial goal. We did, however, spend all of our would-be episode editing time on that marathon, so episode 180 isn't here this week. Instead, enjoy the Most of Book 3 Machine Learning stream we did as part of that very marathon.
