We're officially in the first week of the fulfillment phase—gears turning, pieces moving. The backer surveys are being prepped and will be submitted for review later today (or tomorrow at the latest). Once they're cleared, they'll head straight to your inbox.

But that’s not why we’re here right now.

While we work behind the scenes to get your rewards squared away, we wanted to share a little something we’ve been cooking up.

You already know that Monsters & Myths uses a standard deck of playing cards. But soon, you won’t have to settle for ordinary.
We’re creating a custom Caribbean folklore-inspired deck, and today, you’re getting a first look at one of the face cards: the Jack of Spades.

Here’s some lore for your curious hearts:

Father Vincent Holmes isn’t pulled from traditional Caribbean folklore—he’s an original creation. But make no mistake: he belongs in this world. A solemn figure with a complex relationship to death, Father Vincent plays a pivotal role in the Monsters & Myths universe as a monster warden—one who stands between our world and what lies beyond.

The Spades suit, for those who don’t know, carries heavy meaning—often tied to power, authority, and yes, death. In Monsters & Myths, it reflects the darker edges of the supernatural. The grim, the potent, the unrelenting. Father Vincent, as the Jack of Spades, embodies all of this. He doesn’t just face monsters—he understands them. And he knows what must be done.

Hope you enjoyed this peek behind the curtain—consider it the first entry in our Dev Blog series.

More soon,
