So, Starfinder is coming out next August and Paizo is keeping the hype up, what with the last Humble Bundle and all.
So, what better moment to start your very own Iron Gods campaign? Especially when an impressively large recruitment just ended?
There is a wide choice of characters all ready to go explore Numeria for fun and profit, and you, yes, you, GM looking for an excuse to play it, all you have to do is just pick your team, or teams!
Do you have what it takes to mix swords and magic and lasers (oh my!) into running one of the most loved APs ever?
I'll start by pasting here the character I made, an Android who didn't know to be one.

In hindsight, that Alsande had no memories before his 18 years should have been a clue. That he had an uncanny knack for working with all kinds of gizmos and trinkets could have been another. But when a man named Khonnir Baine shelters you, teaching the tools of his trade and spinning you the tragic tale of how you were the only survivor of a devastating caravan attack, you don't start wondering whether you're actually an android in disguise. Especially if you really are an android, as they are notoriously prone to misunderstanding emotions.
For about six years, Alsande lived in Khonnir's house, working in his lab. He was extremely skilled with magic, assisting Khonnir in the creation of many an item and the repairing of many a trinket. He was frail and awkward around people; his only true friend was Baine's daughter, Val, but he didn't matter. He had a passion for the craft, as if craftsmanship was flowing in his veins. And indeed it was.
A week Khonnir went missing, a woprried Alsande noticed something weird going on with his appearance, as if a disguising spell was fading. His dark hair was turning silk-white, his skin was taking an ashen coloration, and even his eyes seemed to be bleaching. But, most unnervingly, circuit tattoos were emerging on his skin. Circuit patterns that Alsande knew very well. The mark of an android. Val was as shocked as he was by this sudden transformation
Set on finding out the truth about his origins, and why Khonnir had hidden the truth, there was only one decision he could take. He grabbed his spellbook, some gear, and set off to finding him.
--------------------
Alsande used to look like a normal human, with black hair and brown eyes, but that was before the magic hiding his real nature wore off. Now he's weirldy colorless, his hair, eyes and skin all in the same shade of pearl-grayish white. He's of medium height and feeble corporature, and he usually dresses in an artificer's outfit, with a cotton shirt (recently dyed a bright blue to provide the color his carnation is missing) and leather breeches (dyed a deep red).
--------------------
Alsande used to be an awkward, introverted, geekish kid. This hasn't changed much, except that, of lately, he has decidedly freaked out. The discovery of his nature has made him restless, anxious and worried, a bad match for the android's innate lack of social capabilities. He's the tipe of guy who could speak for a couple hours about something he found interesting (usually related to magic, engineering or craftworks), without thinking whether his interlocutor is understanding even a single word. He could, as well, unwillingly offend people with a remark that he thought to be innocent.
As for alignment, I wrote him LN to represent both his dedication to magic and crafts and the fact that he hasn't yet been faced with any significant moral decision.
I bring here my char too :) hopeful to find a GM!

I will be posting a charcter here too. Rasa Tabulas is an Amnesiac Psychic Android. Basically portraying it as his accessing wiped partitions of his mind's 'hard drive'. (The section of androids in People of the Stars, androids don't ever really die of old age, they just reformat and reboot)

I am not looking to start up any new campaigns until April or May but with 32 submissions it may be easy to pick up some players for an Iron Gods game at that date as I would not need to worry about Recruitment. No guarantee as I am going to start two other APs during that time period as well.
In the meantime, if any other DMs pick up a group that would be good too. There are enough submissions left to run 4 or 5 groups from DM Default's original thread.
I previously played Darian (alchemist - inspired chemist, chirurgeon) in an IG game that collapsed when the DM disappeared. Would be happy to reprise the role.
I'll keep Kepli here in the running. He is a Halfling Oracle who was briefly abducted by an alien species known as the Hive.
MIght as well put Skikkikitikut (nickname Stickie) here too. Definitely an AP I'd enjoy playing sometime.
Posting Myka Thorne, escaped slave seeking refuge in the town of Torch.
Bump!
FYI.
