Only 1 question, are there actual iron gods and do any of them have a firearm as their favored weapon?
The answer based on my skimming:
-Skeld
The Player's Guide said three new alien animals for potential familiars? Any more than the petromin?
It says there're 3 new animals for both familiar and companion options. So now we know there're 2 companions and 1 familiar.

Sorry, you only asked about familiars and that was all I searched for.

Hmmm, I think re-reading my old Renraku Arcology: Shutdown and Brainscan might be helpful for extra evil GM ideas.
After first skim of PDF, this looks incredible. So glad I restarted AP subscription. Hopefully will get to run/play this soon.
What are the Android feats like? Do they make any major changes to the race?

As Liz said, you will have sci-fi peanut butter in your fantasy chocolate, and you will like it!
Seriously, well done Neil and crew. I especially like that the traits from the player's guide have specific tie-ins. Nice to see it brought back from Wrath.
*Edit for Lanowar. There's a feat that allows androids to feel emotion, making them suseptible to morale bonues, for those who want their android barbarian. The others focus on Nanite Surge, more uses, additional effects, different effects. Also, child-size androids. Because emotionless pseudo-people weren't creepy enough before

After having read this book, I can certainly say that I'm getting a Deus/Renraku vibe from:
Unity/Silver Mount. Especially in the "if the PCs fail Unity uploads his consciousness into the multiverse and becomes a god" bit in the overview of Part 6.
That is a very good thing to be compared to, too :>
I also downloaded Fires of Creation, but noticed a lot of the chapter headings are missing (ie: the articles and bestiaty). Had nobody else had this issue?

Deus as in Xenogears? Hell yeah...
...unless that means the second half of the AP will be PCs sitting in chairs narrating the story in the past tense. ^.^

Deus is also the name of a rogue AI in the Shadowrun RPG setting. Robert's reference to the Renraku Corporation is the clue. Deus takes one of their arcologies hostage.
Why do I have to be in an internet dead zone next week :( Oh well, it will be hitting my downloads next Friday I guess. What are magic/technological items like?

I just downloaded the file a second time and the chapter headings have returned when I open the file on the PC. However, the problem persists when I open the book in my Kindle (I deleted all trace of the original file and transferred it over again). It doesn't have any impact on my ability to read/run the adventure, I just thought I would mention it in case it was a common problem, but it sounds as though this is unique to me. :p

Inferno Pistol: Kinda a low-rent laser gun that does 1 point of burn damage on a critical, which I'm assuming is the burn universal monster ability, so you can set people on fire with it if they fail a low DC.
Neraplast Armor: Sci-fi light armor that provides a +3 Stealth bonus if you calibrate it to match the surrounding environment.
Neural Inhibitor: Light mace that can be activated to cause -1 to attack rolls, skill checks, and Will saves and a -4 on concentration checks if the opponent fails a low Fort save.
Power Relay: Tech artifact/McGuffin, might also be useful if PCs get their hands on a power generator, though it's 50% likely to burn out next time it gets turned on, and that number goes up by 2% each time. Transmits power through the air all theoretical Tesla style.
Proximity Helmet: Helmet with a HUD that detects moving creatures (+5 to Perception for those checks) and you can set it to ping if a critter comes within 60 feet of you.
Vitality Serum: Radiation prevention/cure. Immunizes you from low radiation, ups your resistance to other radiation, heals 1d4 Str damage caused by radiation. Pharmaceutical item, so it's one-shot and lasts 1 hour.
Universal Serum: 1d8 healing plus a +4 bonus to either Str, Dex, or Con (user/injector's choice) for 3 minutes. After that you get fatigued for an hour. Using more than 1 in 24 hours fatigues you more and just gives you healing, not temp stat boosts. Pharmaceutical item.
Except the pharmaceuticals, all of the goodies use power, either from batteries or a power generator (in the case of the relay thing).
Thanks again N'wah for the info.
Very nice they put some aliens in the bestiary. Hope they continue with that.
Are the aliens from the Golarion solar system or from some other planet?
And any new information regarding the dominion of the black?

They come from a desert planet named Kasath.
So they come the same planet as the Kasatha, cool.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'm not at the end of the shipping again, but unfortunately there's a correlation between how large the shipment is and how long it is before it's shipped.
But ... I've been lucky before!

If things go as planned, the Bestiary in each volume of Iron Gods will have at least one alien and at least one robot.
The ones in this Bestiary are from Kasath, but aliens in future volumes are from various other places.There's a bunch of Dominion of the Black stuff in Pathfinder #88.

I am in there with you on this. Still waiting and have a big order. I did not add the preorders of the Class decks because I did not want to add even more time to my shipping.
I hope to get some alien life from Castrovel, Akiton, Verces, and maybe some more from Triaxus.

I'm having a really hard time hiding the RAGING BRAINER this whole affair is giving me.
Has anyone who is picking their copies up at Gencon gotten access to their pdfs yet?
I got my PDF yesterday. Is there something specific you'd like to know?
-Skeld
Lord where to begin.
What does the new familiar look like?
New monsters!
Do we get the domains and favored weapon of the new iron god?
I have like a dozen more but those are what I need right now to be both sated and not spoil the whole book before I get it.

What does the new familiar look like?
Petromins, also known as azure gliders, are desert cliff-top dwellers that glide down to snatch prey. As a defense, their coloration is countershaded; the blue, sky-like coloration on their undersides makes them hard to notice from the ground, while their brown fur helps them blend into desert vistas below, hiding them from predatory birds. The fur of petromins is awash in sapphire-blue bioluminescence, unnoticeable during the day but distinctive from dusk until dawn. Petromins have control over this natural light, which allows them to attract the large insects on which they feed. A petromin measures 30 inches in length (including a 6-inchlong tail) and weighs 5 pounds. A spellcaster can select a petromin as a familiar, and the master gains a +3 bonus on Stealth checks as a special ability.
New monsters!

Spoilers regarding Iron God domains...
Personally, I suspect 'his' Favored Weapon is more likely to be the Spiked Gauntlet, considering how prominently it is displayed in the cover art, but YMMV.
Ninja'd by a T-Rex no less...

...although now that the comparison has been made—you know it... it really is like Deus from Xenogears. Right down to:
the entire reason the Divinity crashed in the first place when Unity went bat-s$#! crazy.
That's kind of f$#@ing amazing. I love this even more now.

How does one go about selling a Technological Artifact and what might it be worth to the right person?

Spoiler:haul around a 50 pound Power Relay on the off chance they could find a generator to link it to... what could they do with it? Will it be useful in a future book?How does one go about selling a Technological Artifact and what might it be worth to the right person?
Let's go easy on the spoilers or revealing too much about the adventure in this thread.
As for selling a technological artifact, that's up to the GM and the players. But as a general rule, you should let the market charge what it can—aka, in a town the size of Torch, folks aren't gonna have tens of thousands of gp handy to buy things. Let the PCs get enough money from it so that they feel like they got some good treasure, but don't let them get SO much that their wealth goes through the roof.
And yes...

I wonder if there will be any mechanical castles in this AP?
Thank you for the suggestions and I'm sorry I forgot to spoiler tag. I meant to I just forgot. >.>

With a little tweaking this module will run well for my Gamma World game. Just need to switch out a few beasties and it will easily drop into the Wasteland.
I might change the title to "Do Androids dream of Iron Gods"

Just received this! But alas, I can't read it ... my 11 year old is going to run this one! Yay I get to play ... maybe a Pistelero 1/Inquisitor X.
Hmm, speaking of my 11 year old reading this, usually I preread, or read at the same time any Pathfinder tales so we can discuss any scenes an 11 year old may have questions about, he's read a couple.
Are there any subject areas I should be aware of as he reads through the six modules of Iron Gods? For instance I don't think I would have been comfortable with him reading Rise of the Runelords. I am running that for him and plan to leave out or gloss over some bits.
