I'm torn about this -- on the one hand, if I had the slightest amount of 
artistic ability (and spare time), I'd put together a tarot deck with 
specific characters.  On the other hand, I think it would be a Mistake 
for Atlas to sell some "official" version -- I want to be able to swap 
out cards whenever my things change in my campaign.

Realistically, I think my game's tarot will have specific characters, 
but there won't ever be a real-world, out-of-character version of the deck.

This is a neat idea.  Very Powers.
