... This game seems well thought out, and great fun.  Was it ever 
playtested?

My own game has rules written down, but they only describe some of the 
cards.  The card details go on the cards themselves.  If I wanted to go 
professional with it, I'd have to make some room for art, because you 
probably want to know what the "Red Vigil" character looks like.  Even 
professionally manufactured playing cards might have a problem fitting 
that in with all the card details.  Still, I've sent away for some 
full-sized blank cards.  (I've been using old business cards all this 
time.  Remember the 1990s, when engineers used to get business cards?)
