I would appreciate maybe a short prep sesh anytime before the first actual thing, and also I think the players still need to come up with how all the characters met

I'm pretty sure my sheet is ready, but as Kr1g said we still need to link everyone up!

That is an incredibly good point! I haven’t got anything planned this week until Friday so I can be at a prep session anytime, since I could do with knowing how you all know each other too and of course, so I can be on hand to help out anyone who needs it!

Because I’m curious and because I know nothing about pathfinder, what are the race options like? And what’s the best choice for a healer class-wize if they’re a thing?

There’s a... HUGE number of races available in PF and even more if you look for PF homebrew or third party options. Some of which aren’t really applicable for this campaign, but I’d allow a lot of them if you have a good reason for them being in the starting town! The Iron Gods player guide has the Android race in there, which is very relevant to the campaign setting, but honestly a lot of the races are absolutely fine. I suggest reading that player guide anyway actually, it offers a lot of help on the setting which is perhaps different to a ‘normal’ high fantasy setting in a lot of ways :) A lot of races get a bonus to their class depending on their race also, so factor that in when choosing your class/race!

As for classes for a healer, as it says in the Player guide for Iron Gods, a Stargazer Oracle isn’t a bad choice so long as you choose to channel positive energy, (i.e. be a healer not a damage dealer,) and choose a Mystery like Heavens or Dark Tapestry or even Solar perhaps! Of course, there’s the classic Cleric option, always a good choice for a healer build, (suggested deities for this campaign include Brigh, Abadar, Desna, Erastil, Gorum, Iomedae and Nethys!) or even the third party choice of White Necromancer would work well as a healer and be interesting to play too if you didn’t want a ‘traditional’ healing class.

It’s also possible to play the Witch class as a healer if you take the Healing Patron and play a Hedge Witch archetype. There’s also the third party Hedge Witch class which would work if you select the Healer Tradition! Also the third party class Priest, with the Healing Dogma option. :)
