SHIELD & SCRIPTURE v1.0
Game concept, Christian theme and branding: Marcus Draper | Deskatur.com
Dice are vector-rendered and animated. Sound effects are locally synthesized.
The original approved concept guided the green felt, wooden table, brass
frames, warm lamplight, boss panel, dice tray, decks, and Scripture cards.

All biblical figures are artistic interpretations. This is a journey through
Scripture-inspired encounters, not a claim that figures from different eras
met, nor a replacement for reading the accounts. The game does not equate
victory with killing; Opposition can represent a scheme, decree, or obstacle.
