As a highly visual person, the concept of a deck of cards with NPC's ready to go really appeals to me as a GM. This deck of 49 cards comes as individual image files with 49 fronts and 1 back. Looking through the artists, just under half of this deck was put together from artwork done by Jason Rainville, with the remaining pieces coming from Hugo Solis, Ryan Barger, Eric Lofgren, Tyler Bartley, Arthur Wang, Kurt Taylor, Jonathan Roberts and John Wigley.
Anyone who picked up Coliseum Morpheuon will recognize a great deal of the artwork within this deck. When it comes to a deck of NPC headshots, the concept of reusing previously published artwork makes sense, but the editing of some of these heads to separate them from their bodies/backgrounds left them looking odd to say the least. For the majority of the cards, the concept of fantasy plays through, with a few cards leaning more towards what one might consider sci-fi.
I like the fact that the card back actually gives more room for notes than Paizo's cards, room to write is always a good thing. Is a shame you only went with one deck, I would of been interested to see where you might have taken the concept as you refined it.
And, as much as I respect Paizo's site, this deck is on sale for significantly less at RPGNow, you can't beat the deal, and visual cues for NPC/PC's are always an excellent GM aid.
