Pod Against the Machine: A Pathfinder Actual Play

The tube is broken.  The guy that was inside...he doesn't look so great.  What to do?   This may take a while.   Background music and sound effects: Lost Mine, Lunar Outpost, Robotics Lab, and Biodome Tabletop Audio https://tabletopaudio.com   Commercial Inspiring by Asepirawan20 Pixabey https://pixabay.com     Email us at PodAgainsttheMachine@gmail.com Remember to check out https://podagainstthem...

Robots are made of metal.  Metal is very strong.  When you hit them...well, you should probably hit them harder than that.  No.  Harder than that.   This may take a while.   Background music and sound effects: Mech War - Ambiance Only Tabletop Audio https://tabletopaudio.com   Slow Moving Sonar Probe with Deep Background The Hollywood Edge http://hollywoodedge.com     Email us at PodAgainsttheMach...

The Very Capable Four make a plant friend.  It's nice.  We all try to figure out what "yampy" means.  Vaargas is not food.   Background music and sound effects: Huge Space Ship Interior Ambience Steady Sub-tone with Low Growl The Hollywood Edge http://hollywoodedge.com   Under the Hill Battle Theme Zak   Email us at PodAgainsttheMachine@gmail.com Remember to check out https://podagainstthemachine....

On this week's episode, the Very Capable Four explore a ten-foot-wide hallway.  Perhaps more than one.  They also explore branding opportunities.   Congratulations to DaftProdigy, VirtueGM55, and JoeBot for winning our very first giveaway!  We hope you enjoy your dice, and your bonus gifts.  Thank you to everyone who participated and who boosted our signal during the contest. Even though the conte...

This week, we have our first TPK.  Our heroes get a free javelin, and explore some of their class features.   Thank you to everyone who participated in our first giveaway!  The winners will be notified soon.   Background music and sound effects: Unnatural Situation by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4567-unnatural-situation License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/...

The Very Capable Four aren't particularly capable of climbing.  But they are capable of mysterious underground discoveries the likes of which haven't been seen on Golarion since...since...who knows when?   Giveaway Time! In celebration of our tenth episode, and of hitting five thousand total downloads, we're doing our first giveaway!  We're going to send sets of the official Iron Gods dice from Q-...

The journey through the under-hill desert continues.  A very smart enemy sets a very smart, very subtle trap.   Background music and sound effects: Cavernous Deep Cave Ambience with Light Rhythmic Elements The Hollywood Edge http://hollywoodedge.com   Under the Hill Battle Theme Zak!  You know.  From the show.   Remember to check out https://podagainstthemachine.com for show transcripts, player bi...

The Very Capable Four do some shopping, and then get down to business.  Back into the caves!  Back into...whatever it is that lies beyond the caves.  Probably nothing interesting.   Background music and sound effects: A Sad Toy Story by Sascha Ende Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/563-a-sad-toy-story License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Planet Cave Ambience The Hollywood Edge http://hol...

What are they selling you?  Smelly Hut, Smelly Hut, it's not your fault. Err... Out from under the Black Hill for the first time, our Very Capable Four try out some late night business.  And the late night gives them a bit of the business.   Background music and sound effects: Forest: Night and Hermit's Hut Tabletop Audio https://www.tabletopaudio.com   Breaking news by Óscar H Caballero Link: htt...

Beaten and bruised, with nary a healer in sight, our heroes are faced with a stark reality: they might not be able to rescue Khonnir Baine today.  They might not even be able to get out from under this hill.   Background music and sound effects: Abandoned Windmill - Ambiance Only Tabletop Audio https://www.tabletopaudio.com   Planet Cave Ambience The Hollywood Edge http://hollywoodedge.com   Fores...

Deep beneath the Black Hill, our heroes have discovered an automaton.  Poking it with a sword seems like the only logical path forward.  Hopefully it likes sword pokes.   Background music and sound effects:   Abyssal Gaze, and Neon Drive Tabletop Audio https://www.tabletopaudio.com   Industrial Cinematic by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/3909-industrial-cinematic License: https://fi...

Newly remastered! So, we have a deal.  And how hard can clearing out a few gremlins be?  Surely it's no challenge for our brave, non-cowardly heroes who get along extremely well and also don't suck at all.   Background music and sound effects: Lord of the Land by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/4002-lord-of-the-land License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Cavern of Lost Soul...

Newly remastered! With two of our heroes blinded and two-thirds of our healing spent, things are looking rather bleak.  But they can probably take a minute to bond emotionally before being horribly murdered by whatever it is that is lurking deeper in this horrible underground cave.   Background music and sound effects: Cavern of Lost Souls, and Wizard's Tower Tabletop Audio https://tabletopaudio.c...

Newly remastered! Our newly-formed party of torch-lights, do-gooders, and profit-makers heads through the smelly, murky waters of the weeping pond and finally descends under Black Hill!  What dangers await them in these caves?  Will it matter at all that they don't have a divine caster between them?  Will Junkpunch live up to his name?   Background music and sound effects: Cavern of Lost Souls, an...

Newly remastered! Eight days ago, the purple flame atop Black Hill in the heart of the town of Torch flickered out.  The entire economy of Torch depends on that unique flame, which burns so hot it can melt skymetal.  Smiths normally travel to Torch from all over Golarion.  Normally.  But now they're leaving town, taking the lifeblood of the town with them.  Brave souls have been journeying into th...

And finally...in the last episode that's not an episode...we meet...the player...whose name comes last alphabetically (Zak).  And his character, who does not (Brixbi).   Brixbi art by Alysa Avery https://www.alysaavery.com/   Background music and sound effects: Cavern of Lost Souls From Tabletop Audio https://tabletopaudio.com Serpentine Trek by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/4337-s...
