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.

This week on the program, our heroes deal with a body problem and finally meet the town no one can pronounce the name of!

Well, dropping in our normal Wednesday slot will be our debut Pathfinder 2e adventure, Sundered Waves! We'll be playing this one-shot for the next two weeks, and then returning to the main story!

Apologies in advance for the sound quality on episodes 83 and 84--we had some issues with Gero's tracks. We're making them top priority for remastering and hope to have better versions available soon. For the time being, we've done what we can.
In this week's episode, we explore what happens when you don't roll great on stealth checks, and make a bunch of 90's music jokes.
