Rooted in Scripture. Born from faith. Built for bold storytelling.
A Scripture-rooted tabletop roleplaying game set in the early Bronze Age.
Here, your choices matter. Your integrity matters. And your story threads itself through the great tapestry of God’s unfolding work.
Step into a world shaped by covenant faithfulness, ancient promises, and the long arc of redemption. Warriors of the Covenant invites players into stories of courage, sacrifice, and steadfast hope — not by rewriting biblical history, but by adventuring within it.
✨ What This Game Is About
Warriors of the Covenant is a narrative-driven RPG where players take the role of ordinary men and women walking faithfully through extraordinary times. Set in the early Bronze Age, the game honors biblical history without altering it — instead weaving compelling adventures around the lived realities of the ancient world.
Players are Shepherds, Scholars, Warriors, Diplomats, Merchants, and more, each carrying a Covenant Gift that shapes their calling and their path.
Your stories unfold through choices of compassion, courage, wisdom, and endurance — as you face deception, hardship, tribal conflict, spiritual danger, and the high cost of faithfulness.
This is a game where character matters more than power, and where divine intervention is rare, meaningful, and rooted in Scripture’s patterns of signs and wonders.

⚔️ What Makes This Game Different
Biblically Faithful
The game is centered on Scripture.
No rewriting events. No altering history.
Players do not replace biblical heroes — they walk the world alongside them.
Miracles, Not Magic
There is no magic system.
What exists is:
- divine intervention (rare, purposeful)
- demonic deception
- manipulation, idols, sorcery, and omens only as condemned practices
This keeps the game aligned with a biblical worldview while still allowing supernatural tension.
A Moral-Character System
Faithfulness, wisdom, and integrity shape success as deeply as combat or skill.
Endurance Over Escapism
Players grow through challenges — not by acquiring power, but by aligning their character’s heart with covenant truth.
Designed for Churches, Families, and Ministries
Clear theology.
Honest storytelling.
Versatile for small groups, youth ministries, and mission-driven creative spaces.
