Burnout Reaper and Digital Angel TTRPGs: Walt Shows Us Two Challenging Itch.io Refugees

In the wake of the stir created by Itch.io’s mass purging of darkly themed TTRPGs in the face of pressure from payment processors and others, we talk with Walt (Līber Lūdōrum, Bogfolk) about two wild creations in that exodus: Burnout Reaper and Digital Angel by Sandro AD.

As related to me, Alessandro AD pulled these games from Itch.io at first news of the culling; they survive for now on a Google Drive, where they are free to download and play.

What are we in for here? Walt outlines these bleak near-future systems where economic exploitation manifests in debt, desperation, sex and violence. [FAIR WARNING: Heavy themes all around. In addition, The F slur appears in this audio as part of a quote from Digital Angel’s description copy.]
