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.

Our Wraith Wranglers get some much needed shuteye, and then it's time to figure out just what on earth is going on.
Programming Update
Hey, y'all--Summer Scheduling Gremlins have struck once more, and we've been a bit short on recording sessions. So, this week we'll have a little diversion from the adventures of the Very Capable Four: a trip back into the van, into the world of Call of Cthulhu, with Gero leading us in a game of Forget Me Not, and the main show will return on 9/6!

Now that everything is fine and no one is ever going to feel emotions again, our heroes have some ill-gotten gains to parcel out and a tower to mess up.
