Pod Against the Machine

This week on the program: what do you call a reverse heist? A tsieh? How would you ever say that?

This week on the program, we check in on the oldest man in Numeria. How's he been doing? Catching up with any old friends lately?

The program is going to be a little...different this week.

You've been warned.

This week on the program, we're very much interested in hearing about your religion, especially the part about existence being a mistake.

This week on the program: the party has blown another set of disguises. What member of Kera's family will they implicate next?

Have you reviewed a podcast, book, or other *thing you enjoy* lately? Might be a good time to.

This week on the program, Sam prerolled initiative! We're getting so good at this, you guys. It only took 207 episodes.

Hi, it's a wonderful day to help kill one of the worst pieces of legislation in modern American history.

This week on the program, our heroes have fun with roll tables and nothing bad happens!

I mean.

The only time you should say "AI is here to stay" is as a battlecry for your Android Soldier as they shake off yet another bull rush attempt.

AI's inevitability is as much a fiction and a product as the games we love, don't let people sell you on its thoughtless and reckless cultural adaptation

This week on the program we learn all about Numerian drug laws from beloved mascot Broth McGroth.

I'm trying to think of a good Ball Park for comparison, but I keep striking out...

Something Major is brewing is Pod Against the Machineland.

...burger. The word is BURGLER.

This week on the program: our heroes reform a bugger. Or assassin. Or chef. It's unclear.

White box with big black letters that read "679" followed by a brown line angled diagonal up. Below that, in smaller gray letters, it says "Yesterday Downloads."

So, something strange happened yesterday. We had our single highest download count of all time. I tried to get a screenshot when the total was 666 but sadly it was not to be.

Anyway, thanks for listening, y'all!

This week on the program, The Very Doable Four make a Mockery of some trained professionals. They're definitely not evil, though.

This week on the program, we've earned a little time for irresponsible world building!

Highly recommend Hopefinder--it's a very fun, low-powered take on the PF2e engine. We had a chance to play it with Jason a way's back, had a (terrifying) ball.

A man stands on a hill overlooking a fantasy city. It is a bright night, with a large full moon hangs over the city. Impossibly, a large tower looms behind the moon.

This week on the program, everything goes back to normal and no one ever talks of musicals again. What to do with our friend the incubus, though?

#Pathfinder #ActualPlay #TTRPG #Podcast #SciFi

“huh.”
“oh wow”
“so…creative”
- what the people are thinking, probably

check out episode 200 THE MUSICAL today!

Are you upset that Twitch has seemingly used AI image generation for their new category images— INCLUDING the ART and other CREATIVE categories??

The reviews are in!
"I wasn't expecting this"
"Please don't do it again"
"Not weird at all"
"Ooh 👀"
This episode is definitely a thing that exists!

The Party City near Sam went out of business, so we did the next best thing.

Twitch chose to replace a lot of the non-gaming category images with AI-generated images, which is a huge spit in the face for all the art communities that are now repped with AI.

There's a uservoice here to voice our displeasure!
