Yeah, Jason - the project's looking pretty kick-ass so far.
I don't suppose you could give us a peek at a few card faces? Or at the least tell us more about them?
If I had to guess, I'd say the deck faces will be fairly standard - it appears to be aimed at the gambler/card sharp market, in which case standard faces would be the more desired of the options. Don't get me wrong, custom is nice, but it's not one-size-fits-all.
