Just received, having ordered last week.

Like it. A mix of spells other than fighty ones, such as "creating pools of dice to call on" (representing foresight) to making the bad weather avoid you (rain on others, I have a little zone of not being rained on thank you).

Definitely a Player expansion. Some GM use for NPC's but not nearly as much. The "fun" in many spells defintely "fun as a player" (ooh look at the way I can fiddle dice).

Hope they keep this up and keep mixing in ones more GMy, and themed aroudn things about than colleges or faiths such as all sneaking con artist thief oriented or all fighty, riding, jousting, being a knight or all fanatical inspired crazy but maybe blessed zealotry witch hunter etc.

I also like it a lot. Many fun spells for the players, and the crystal ball is a nice item as well. I hope for a new Pod relatively soon and I agree with you, I would like them to branch out into other areas, such as zelot-witch hunter stuff, thief stuff, "normal human stuff" etc.

I would also like them to try other formats of cards, such as making a career pod (maybe for elves for example?) or a talent sized Pod (maybe more epic talents that 'replace' lower lever talents, or engineering/rune-talents).
