About "Bad GM" Dan

I have been playing and running RPGs for over 20 years. I started with D&D 3.5, but now specialize in WFRP, Soulbound, Pathfinder 2E, and Starfinder 2E. I am the host and GM of "A Grim Podcast of Perilous Adventure" (WFRP), "How Doomed Are We?" (Soulbound), and "Star Omens" (Starfinder 2E Playtest). I was also a player through the Extinction Curse campaign on the "Lost Omens Podcast." You can find me on YouTube (www.youtube.com/@ProfessionalCasual) and at professionalcasual.com.
