Lion's Vault Module for 5th Edition D&D & Pathfinder RPG
Created by 2CGaming
Lion’s Vault is the third chapter of the Fate of the Forebears Adventure Path, beginning immediately after the close of City of Sands module. The players must now venture out into the desert wastes of the Mirrored Steppes to uncover the secrets of an ancient city in ruins. Characters must withstand an ever-present corruption that feasts on their will, while they race treasure hunters and bandits through trapped-filled ruins to find the corruption’s source, an unspeakable horror protected by an ageless guardian.

Title pretty mush says it on this one - all of the prints have been shipped. For those of you in international regions shared with our printer (UK, EU, Australia, NZ), you'll be receiving your prints directly from them. For everyone else, we've sent your copies directly from our HQ in California.
Prints of products other than Lion's Vault (including the previous modules) should already have shipped and arrived (a while back). Please let us know if you haven't received these, and we'll work to track them down.
If you haven't received your Lion's Vault books by August 1, let us know! We'll be at Gen Con that weekend talking about Lion's Vault and other projects, so we may be a few days responding, but we'll make sure that these get to you!
Thank You
So much. Thanks for your patience with this project while we rolled through a slew of internal changes. We're very excited to get this project to you, and are deep into the ideation and planning on the next chapter!
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns via Kickstarter, our website, or discord:
Prints Are In & Shipping Starts!

As the title indicates, we have received the print copies of the Lion's Vault for both Pathfinder & 5E and they are looking great! Took a few quick photos this morning before diving into the international shipping!
At 116 pages, these are pretty thick for softcovers!
Shipping
We've started the international shipping process! And by that, we mean the print and ship orders are in with our printer for the following locations: Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Everywhere else will ship from our United States location, to which we've shipped a hefty order of all other books! As soon as that arrives, we'll be shipping out direct from there.
In all cases, expect to receive your prints delivered by August 1. If you haven't received your copy by then, please let us know (either in comments here, via Kickstarter message, or through some other means), and we'll work with you to get things resolved.
Once Again...
Thanks for the patience on this. We know it's been a long, long-overdue ride, and we're extremely pleased to get these books produced to the level we need and in your hands at last.
Best,
The 2CGaming Team
Lion's Vault PDF & Game Assets Via BackerKit

Many thanks, once again to all of you for your patience and encouragement to get this project to you! We've finally finished it up and delivery has started through BackerKit! You can find your downloads on the "Digital Downloads" BackerKit page and should have received an email about the availability of your downloads.
We're extremely pleased with the project's quality at this point (At about ~116 pages, it clocks in just under the City of Sands), particularly in the face of writing and design challenges we encountered along the way. Thank you again for all the support on this project.
The Timeline From Here
Before we can start talking about the next steps for the Fate of the Forebears adventure path project, we need to get you a couple more deliverables: print copies and the Giant Runesmith. Some notable dates:
Early July: We'll incorporate any changes, edits, and errata that slipped between the cracks into an updated release of the Lion's Vault, which we'll put out on Backerkit.
Mid-July: Pre-Orders for the Lion's Vault close through Backerkit. We'll still be providing deliverables to you through the platform, but we'll have moved the items to our website: www.2cgaming.com
Mid-August: The prints are going to take about two months to ship out. Expect them around the middle of August with Kickstarter updates heralding their arrival.
Late August: Tentative estimated date for when we'll get the Giant Runesmiths PDF and prints started. We'll get this locked down as we get closer to the date.
Project Development
Lion's Vault: First - the Lion's Vault is finished and delivered! However, there's a lot of content there and we're sure that we didn't catch everything that needs tweaking (looking at you, Pathfinder math wizards). If you find anything that looks like a typo or error, *please* let us know, either by dropping us a comment below, shooting us a message at www.2cgaming.com/contact or hopping in discord to chat with us: https://discord.gg/2k35fY9. Any edits that we get in by the end of June will make it into an updated PDF release and the first print run for the project. Anything after this date will be included in a future PDF and Print update (no date scheduled for that, though).
Zahur's Legacy: The fourth installment of the Fate of the Forebears adventure path will be coming! At the moment, however, we're not quite sure when. We want to make sure that we run into the same process obstacles that we did for Lion's Vault, and we're going to be testing those refined processes on a couple of projects between now and then. For now, look forward to a tentative launch of this module on Kickstarter sometime in mid to late 2020. This gives us enough time to start development on this project well before the Kickstarter, and deliver to you more effectively.
Again, Our Thanks
Thank you, thank you to everyone who supported this project and kept with us through the significant delays. We're very grateful for your support here, and very excited to share the finished product with you. As always, please let us know if there are any questions, comments, or concerns.
Best,
The 2CGaming Team

Progress Report
Formatting for the project continues unabated; we working through Act 3 of 3 at the moment (the shortest of the acts), with the previous two complete. Our formatter was kind enough to pass over a couple of the finished spreads, which we've included below:
Beginning of Act 2 of the Lion's Vault Module
Showcasing tables and other formatting elements from the Lion's Vault Module
Additionally, the main map for the module - the Lost City - is presented below. The bulk of the module takes place here, encompassing all of Act 2 and approximately half of the book by itself. The map illustration will show up a couple of times through the book for easy reference, and be available in digital format for those with the digital assets (note: it's about 4x larger than the image we uploaded here - massive.)
The Lost City - Central to Act 2 of the Lion's Vault Module
Next Steps & Next Update
While formatting is progressing, we've been preparing the art assets for those of you backing the digital tiers for the Lion's Vault. We'll start distribution of these just before the next update, which will showcase some of the digital elements.
Thanks again for the patience on this. Our repeated apologies for the slow progress and light communication.
