Hey Folks,
We’re extremely pleased to announce the completion of this Campaign! Every pledge has been shipped, and almost all of you have received your rewards - the remaining stragglers should be receiving theirs in the post very soon.
As we watch the sun set on the Tormentor Cults, there’s a few important things we wanted to run through with you all -
Late Pledges Closing - We will be closing Late Pledges for Physical and Digital Backers next Tuesday 15th. So if you want to grab any extra Addons at the special Kickstarter prices, now is your last chance!
Late Pledges - Physical
Late Pledges - Digital
Customer Support - We will continue to monitor the Kickstarter Inbox for the next two months, as you all dig into your boxes. If you encounter any problems with your miniatures, please reach out to us at the soonest and we will get the matter resolved.
Catching this months later? Reach us on [email protected] with the subject line ‘Tormentor Cults Kickstarter’
Housekeeping & Admin - There are four people who have yet to complete their Backerkit Survey to receive their physical miniatures. If you are one of these people, we have sent you Kickstarter DMs with a direct link to your Backerkit Survey. Please contact us directly when you have completed the form, so we can catch your order in good time.
There are also some people who did not claim their legacy STL Collections. Please note, the google form is no longer being checked. If you have yet to claim your legacy collections, please contact us directly via Kickstater DM.
What’s Next? - Those of you who follow us on Social Media, or subscribe on Tribes or Patreon will have seen the announcement of our next Campaign! The Penitent Crusade!
This time, we’ll be running the STL & Physical campaigns a little differently from each other, sign up for the Prelaunch to be the first to find out what’s going on!

It was a major undertaking for us, and we thank you all for your confidence, conviction, patience and patronage. This has been a fantastic adventure for us, and we can’t wait to see what comes next.

The Final 5E Supplement has arrived - Tormentor Cults Faction Guide
about 2 months ago

Hey Everyone!
Pleased to deliver some good news to you all this weekend - the final 5E Supplement has arrived, and it’s a big one! Read on for all the details:
Tormentor Cults Faction Guide
The Faction Guide is the ultimate resource for bringing the Tormentor Cults to your tabletop, containing over 100 pages of lore, stat-blocks, random tables, GM advice, items, artwork and painted miniatures - this is a whole new type of supplement for Bestiarum, and we can’t wait to see what you do with it!
You can download it right here.
This supplement is designed to help you build the Cults into an ongoing antagonist for your Campaign, helping you squeeze more mileage out of that big stack of miniatures. The two premade adventures can serve as ‘tentpole’ events which, when combined with the tools in this supplement, can help you create a truly satisfying foe for your party to battle with!
We’ve worked hard to make this a valuable resource for every kind of 5E group, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention how well it works with our own Path of Penitence Campaign System! With 30 one shot adventures, and a toolkit for building your own story in the world of Doaden, there’s a wealth of awesome waiting for you.
Updates to Whispers of Torment & Return of the Jailer
Additionally, we’ve updated the first two Adventures, many thanks to the folks who reached out to flag up some formatting errors we missed! You can download the updated copies on MyMiniFactory now.

If you spot any further errors, or have any questions, drop us a message!
Join the Conversation
If you’re itching to start planning and plotting out a role for the Tormentor Cults at your table, we’d love to hear about it. Our Discord Server has a dedicated DnD channel, which is the perfect place to connect with like-minded Gamemasters, exchange ideas, and chat with the Bestiarum Team direct!

Physical Pledges Shipping Update
Before we leave, we wanted to share a brief update on physical pledge shipping - another wave of pledges were sent out this week, and a lucky group of you will have already received an email from Shopify with tracking details.
Our team have been working through a series of unforeseen manufacturing issues (hardware blights), prompting reprints to ensure your miniatures are up to the standard we promised. This has triggered delays, pushing us well past the originally estimated July Delivery ETA.
We apologize for this delay, and thank you for your patience - the good news is that we’re almost finished with the required reprints.
-
Hope you folks enjoy this Campaign Pack - we know many of you have already started digging into Whispers & Return - we can't wait to hear how these adventures play out on your tabletops!
Cheers,
Bestiarum Crew
Lastly, some of the eagle-eyed readers might spy a peek at our next Campaign, hiding in plain sight amongst the pages of the Faction Guide - stay tuned for news here!
The Tormentor Cults Adventures are Here!
3 months ago
– Mon, Aug 19, 2024 at 06:12:30 AM
Hey Folks!
Got some great news to brighten up your Monday - the 5E & Forbidden Psalm Adventures that accompany the Tormentor Cults are ready for you! Once again, thank you for your patience, we’ve spent a lot of time on designing these books, and hope the extra time spent will prove worth your waiting.
Let’s showcase what’s arrived:
Adventure 1- Whispers of Torment
The first Adventure takes the party on a terrifying journey through the cult-infested St. Pyotr’s Sanitorium. This classic dungeon crawl-come-haunted house experience is a perfect introduction to the Tormentor Cults, or escalation event if your party has faced them previously.
You’ll venture deep into the Sanitorium-Abbey, witness the depravity of the Cult in earnest, and learn some dark secrets about the Empire itself.
Adventure 2 - Return of the Jailer
One of our classic supplements, Indictum Dominus, revamped, rebuilt and re-optimised for a smoother and more focused play experience. Return of the Jailer is an investigation adventure, which sees the party tasked with rooting out a hidden Tormentor Cult in the town of New Heldon.
The adventure helps you weave a web of lies, intrigue and avarice, at the centre of which is an evil plan that threatens to destroy not only New Heldon, but the Empire itself…
Tales of Torment - A Forbidden Psalm Campaign
A Narrative Campaign, designed for Solo or Co-Op play which sees your warband face off against the horrors of the Tormentor Cults across 9 scenarios, adapted from the 5E Adventures. Will you have what it takes to survive the trials ahead, and banish the Jailer from our reality?
There’s still one more book to come, the Tormentor Cults Faction Supplement - which, alongside stat blocks for the full miniatures collection, includes a wealth of lore, encounters, tools & guidance for GMs to build a campaign around the Tormentor Cults as a main antagonist. We’re extremely excited to share this with you, but it needs some more design time - the book currently tracking at over 100 pages, which significantly exceeded our initial expectations. We hope the extra wait will be worth it for you all!
These books are all waiting for you on MyMiniFactory - You should all already have access through the dummy listing we uploaded via the Pledge Manager back in June. Simply search your library for:
Tormentor Cults - 5E Campaign Pack
Tormentor Cults - Forbidden Psalm Adventures
For those of you who have yet to redeem your files, we’ve re-sent the MyMiniFactory Invitation. If you have any issues with access, drop us a DM on Kickstarter and we'll get it resolved post-haste.
Thanks everyone, happy adventuring!
