What's a couple of the best shapes to use for shields?
Circles and ovals are best for lack of corners. Rectangular are also seen from time to time. The traditional shield shape with the tapered end is also fine so long as it's padded in a safe manor. So to answer your question, any shape is fine, just make it safe. Remember that a tower shield still has to be carried by the user so make it comfortable too.
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
