Hi Fateweavers,

Quick design drop for you: the back design for the Monsters & Myths Folklore Characters Playing Cards is officially finished!

This wasn’t just a case of “make it look cool” (though, trust—it does look cool). I wanted the visual language of the cards to reflect the Caribbean’s layered heritage. The background uses a batik pattern, drawing from textile traditions that are both artful and ancestral.

At the centre? A radiant sun, framed by a circular African tribal pattern—symbols of energy, life, and cyclical power. The rest of the design pulls from African tribal motifs, grounding the deck in the deep cultural influences that echo throughout the Monsters & Myths universe.

This is more than just a playing card deck. It’s a storytelling tool. A ritual object. A piece of living folklore in your hands.

Check out the poll to choose your favourite, and let us know in the comments.

More to come soon.
