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.

Top Tier Pathfinder Pod

Excellent storytellers with an amazing brand of dry humor. This show has developed into one of the best Pathfinder 1E podcasts out there. Fans of the system will especially enjoy their “interesting” builds, but anyone interested in a good story will enjoy this show.

Delightfully Funny

The witty, dry humor of this podcast is highly enjoyable. A must listen for humans and robots alike.

Great show, very capable.. Now with chicken wars

I love this show and the cast of clowns. They have a bit drier sense of humor that is my speed. They story they are telling is consistently funny and subversive. And the setting with dripping with color and flavor, in a way that only fantasy magi-tech can.

Do yourselves a favor and check these jokers out.
