Vault 5e: A Life Well Lived

Bring 5e characters to life outside the dungeon. Delve into their past and future with Cubicle 7

From the award-winning team that brought you award winning 5e Adventures in Middle-earth, Broken Weave, Uncharted Journeys  and Doctors and Daleks, comes A Life Well Lived! Bring your characters to life like never before with this game changing 5th edition supplement that explores what your adventurers get up to before, after, and in between dungeon crawling!

Every adventurer has a backstory, dreams for the future, and a life between adventures. All those amazing triumphs and disasters, and tender or tumultuous relationships are what makes our heroes feel like real people. A Life Well Lived brings your characters to life like never before. 

Take a deep dive into your character’s life before their adventuring days began. A richly detailed backstory complete with benefits and complications will forge the passions and connections that will bond your hero with the rest of the party. Allies and enemies spring from your story and enmesh you in the campaign world giving you an overwhelming purpose to see your quests through to the very end. 

Don’t hang around waiting for the old guy to stagger into the inn and die with a map in his hand! There’s a whole world of fun to be had between adventures. From pressing the flesh at high society parties, to weaving tall tales for villagers, or planning a meticulous heist —  and as this is your side-quest, you don’t have to split the loot five ways!

We created A Life Well Lived to bring our characters to life outside the dungeon. As players we get extremely attached to our characters, and want to explore a new side of them. Characters are more than just stats and numbers on a page, and A Life Well Lived allows us to delve deeper into the story behind our heroes in a way that seamlessly blends into the traditional gameplay of 5e and rewards the storytelling each player has within them.

A Life Well Lived is a companion to Cubicle 7’s Uncharted Journeys, and forthcoming C7D20 titles. These lovingly crafted volumes combine to enrich all pillars of 5e gameplay, and give you the tools and advice you need to tailor your game to the specific tabletop experience your heart desires. 

Our previous 5e games Doctors and Daleks, Adventures in Middle-earth, and Uncharted Journeys demonstrate how much we love designing richly thematic extensions to the 5e ruleset, and we are very proud of the many awards we’ve won for our work.

What's in the Book?

A Life Well Lived accompanies an adventurer throughout their life, from their humble origins through their heroic quest, and ultimately, if they’re lucky, their retirement from the dangerous path of adventure.

Create fully realised characters whose life experiences influence the skills they learn before the adventure begins. Give them a family to fight for, important experiences to treasure, a home worth defending, and more with Cubicle 7’s new Lifepath system. 

Return home and use our Downtime Activities to explore what your hero gets up to between adventures. Do you spend time preparing for the challenges ahead or grasp fleeting moments with friends and family? Do you have a business to run, or do you seek out work to earn a little extra coin? Maybe you have a masterwork weapon you’re working on or an old score you mean to settle?

Campcraft Activities let you enjoy the quiet moments around the campfire, as you share stories of the past, prepare for what is to come, and bond with your companions. 

Your Patron is a powerful ally who is the driving force behind your adventures. They may be a spymaster with access to dangerous secrets, or a stalwart champion of the divine who can heal wounds and return fallen friends to life. But beware, your Patron has enemies who may come at you to get to them. 

Hang up your sword and leave the adventuring life behind as you Retire, and see what life has in store for you after the swords and sorcery has in store for you… at least until trouble comes knocking once more, dragging you out of retirement and back into the action for one last adventure!

“All knights must bleed, Jaime. Blood is the seal of our devotion.”“Arthur: And now it begins.”“Our knees do not bend easily.”“Arthur: Then you shall have it, ser.”Joncon said “It was a camp that even Arthur Dayne might have approved of —compact, orderly, defensible”He also got good rights and sorted out the people who hid the kingswood brotherhood. But in these quotes, doesn’t Arthur come off quite like stannis? Stubborn, rigid, single-mindedly devoted? Not the typical chivalrous act or virtue

A compact, orderly, and defensible camp is actually just a solid idea all around - one of Rome's claims to fame was that their military officers excelled at campcraft. You want your camp to be efficiently run so that everyone knows where gear can have repairs done, where the daily muster points are, where the pickets are sent and who mans them. You also want to ensure that it's pitched in a defensible location so that you can't be attacked when your camp is sleeping in a night attack. So Arthur Dayne isn't being a stubborn and single-minded individual, that's just sensible military craft.

"Our knees do not bend easily," does have this sense though. Remember, the rebellion started because Aerys decided to just up and murder a bunch of nobles, and Arthur Dayne stands in defense of that. Arthur also defends Lyanna's about-to-be-born baby, but didn't ensure that she had access to good medical care, so he's standing in support of actions that lead to her early grave.

That's the Kingsguard though. Aerys's Kingsguard used their oaths of obedience to force the Kingsguard to turn a blind eye to Aerys committing sexual violence on his wife. Aegon IV's Kingsguard had men who swore oaths to "protect all women" who would abduct them for Aegon IV's predatory appetites. Criston Cole's fixation on sexual purity led him to commit murder and helped lead a coup. Barristan was as quiet as a country mouse when Rickard and Brandon were murdered. On the surface, the Kingsguard are paragons of knightly virtue, but in fact, they enable some of the system's worst abuses.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

PIAJ 2022 Edits Changelog & Update News

The 2022 Grand PIAJ Edit is now complete. All chapters on ao3 and tumblr have been modified, supplemental material such as supplemental chapter notes has been modified, and the changelog is ready. The PIAJ master post has been updated.

PIAJ chapter 25 is complete, and will be posted 23/06/22, on my birthday.

This post will cover an overview of some noteworthy changes to the story and worldbuilding, and will then list the chapter-by-chapter changelog. You can refer to this changelog to decide whether or not you wish to reread a given chapter or scene.

Story Content

 When I started the story, I considered incorporating water purification as a campcraft & survival issue to address, but decided against it because at the time I didn't think I was going to take piaj very seriously. By the time that changed, it was too late to reasonably introduce. But as long as I'm editing the whole thing, I might as well incorporate it. So, now Rayla is appropriately disturbed at drinking unclean water, and some scenes have been modified to reference this, and conversations modified to discuss it. Some worldbuilding notes have been added in relevant areas.

I made an incorrect assumption about the Banther Lodge when writing PIAJ; namely, I assumed it had taxidermy and animal trophies in it - it took closer examination for me to see that it's actually all wooden sculptures of animal trophies. Some not yet published scenes later in the story reference the presence of animal trophies in the Banther Lodge, so rather than change those scenes, I thought of something else I preferred for the setting and characters and modified the early piaj chapters accordingly.

 Grammar

 I have always been fully aware that you're supposed to end dialogue with a comma if there's a dialogue tag afterwards, but it looked so profoundly wrong to me that I couldn't bear to do it. I trained myself steadily to accept it, and having now accomplished that, I've edited PIAJ accordingly. I have almost certainly missed some instances, which will likely get picked up on future edits.

 Continuity and Consistency

 Ensuring I could take notes and check for continuity errors was one of the major reasons I wanted to do this in-depth editing process. I did identify a few continuity errors where late chapters had conversations that neglected to reflect the existence of similar conversations earlier in the story; these have been fixed. I have also taken comprehensive notes on a variety of topics to have easily searchable records to help me keep continuity solid in this ridiculously complex story.

Some things now being tracked: Clothing (Quantity, damage, cleanliness), Food & Rations, Supplies (Quantity & usage), Past Events (Pre-story events mentioned), Campsites (Chapters & brief descriptions), Ezran & Zym Ability, Callum Ability, Health & Injury (all relevant characters), and various subsets of all of these, as well as some misc. progression details. I've also done some in-depth mapping in my detailed Information & Espionage document.

 Worldbuilding and Nomenclature

 The PIAJ worldbuilding has been developing over time, so some things needed to be tweaked and amended, and other things were amended to conform to new canon material that I thought it was worth incorporating. Here is a list, not necessarily complete, of changes that have been made.

Great Bay has been renamed to Weeping Bay to conform to canon.

PIAJ stance on elves with facial hair modified in light of Tales of Xadia elven characters with beards. A summary: elves can have facial hair, but it's as rare as for cisgender human women. It runs in families, so more prevalent in certain communities, and may be utterly unknown elsewhere. Due to association with humans, facial hair can be stigmatised in some xenophobic communities, similar to hornlessness.

Some terms in Paragonism have been changed. The High Cleric is now the ultimate religious authority in a kingdom; the Priest of Paragons is now the highest religious authority in a given settlement. Houses of Paragons are now called Halls of Paragons, except where they are large enough to be called Temples. The overarching authority of Paragonism is composed of one High Cleric from each human kingdom, and is known as the High Clergy.

Some references / details in Paragonism have been changed. While Fortune is considered a Paragon, they're a controversial one, and not widely followed. Accordingly it doesn't make sense for most people to make references to them; any of these in the text have been replaced with more appropriate Paragons. References to 'Lord' or 'Lady' on their own have also been modified; this isn't an uncommon thing for people to say, but it's generally only done by people who have an exceptionally strong faith for a specific Paragon, such as Healers for Mercy. In the absence of this, any reference to 'Lord' on its own can be assumed to be an oblique reference to Hope.

The supplemental notes for each chapter have been inspected and modified where needed. Some examples: moondust dosage now varies based on the point in the lunar cycle it is taken, the full-body dragon sign language has been updated with its name of Draconic Corpus, and details of the rare Moonshadow elf talent called 'truthfinding' have been clarified.

So Randyll Tarly is considered the finest soldier of the realm, but other than the battle of Ashford, he doesn’t seem to have done anything else of note. I have no doubt he participated in the first greyjoy rebellion but probably not anything noteworthy. So what exactly makes him such a big deal?

Well, Ashford is a big deal. It was Robert's only defeat in history, so that gives Randyll a serious claim to fame. I think part of it has to do with campcraft and other soldierly disciplines and part of it is marketing. He knows what he's doing and demonstrates it, even when Roose is intentionally throwing the battle, he gets the job done with few casualties.

Thanks for the question, Anon.
