A downloadable game

THE HARM IS TO THE BODY is a tabletop roleplaying game about the symbols we use to warn future generations about buried nuclear waste. It uses a block tower and a series of open-ended prompts and questions representing the difficulty of preserving a message of danger across tens of thousands of years of human history.

A fair warning: this is intended to be a difficult, stressful game, similar in design ethos (and mechanics) to the horror game Dread.

Another warning: this game is about the symbols we use to represent the long-term danger of unearthing nuclear waste in the future, not on whether it is reasonable for humans to use nuclear power to generate electricity. For an even-handed assessment on the viability of nuclear energy as a long-term power source for humanity, you can read through the following report: https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/13/22/6074/pdf
