I decided it was time to redo the old card game I created, now with *all* companions and most importantly no left overs. Thanks to everyone for their input
Follow this link and hit the download button on the right to get all the printables plus a XCF-file to create individual cards. The font I used is called sherwood thin.
There is a buttload of ways to play this game, just do it how ever you want. I also added in the Slayer as the Old Maid/ Black Peter, so now you can play at least two more games with it.
Also, the printables have such thick borders on purpose, those are to be cut off after print. I suggest you have the cards be printed by a professional, just google for an online copy shop that delivers to your place.
Please let me know if you spot any errors!
v2 is still available here.

Update to version 3.1
- Added SoD companions as quartett number 13
- Added SoD antagonists as variants for 11C (Irenicus & The Hooded Man), 12B (Clara & Hephernaan) and 12C (Ellesime & Caelar Argent). I didn't want to remove any characters and there where not enough to make a 14th quartett.
- Added SoD variants of Imoen and Viconia.

I love you.
Excellent work!
Suggestion. Remove Boo and the solar, then create a villain family by grouping Sarevok, Irenicus, Bodi (new card) and Amelyssan togeather (family 9). Dorn can take Sarevok’s place as card 4C. Kaigan, Montaron, Nalia and Quale can form a new family together (family 10). It will not be class based as the other families but a family none the less. Skie, together with Rassard, Neera and Hexat (new card) can form the last family togeather (no 11). In all, this deck will contain 11 families (just as the original "Happy Families" does, I believe). Demogorgon (new card) can be added to serve the roll of “the old maid”, should someone want to play by picking a random card from your neighbour instead of asking for one.
Gonna redo the whole thing, with new (more fitting) quotes and stuff.
I removed Boo and Solar and added Bodhi, Hexxat, Clara, Baeloth and Wilson.
I am also considering adding Elesime and BG1 Sarevok (problem is, that I would only have a rendered portrait of him). It would also be cool to have Biff the Understudy, but there is no portrait of him
Gonna see about Demogorgon as the old maid, maybe a different character would work better?
I would also need a proper portrait, maybe the Bhaal-symbol itself would be good?

The question is the grouping now, I remember it being really tricky the last time around, but here are my ideas. Remember, this doesn't go specifically as class, but also by character mentality
Also, in the end, there can only be four cards per family, though I can make multiple sets based on one family (i.e. instead of just fighter I could make a good and evil fighter family).
Bard: Eldoth, Garrick, Haer'Dalis, Coran
Cleric: Branwen, Viconia, Tiax, Aerie, Quayle, Rasaad, Yeslik, Anomen
Druid: Cernd, Faldorn, Jaheira
Fighter: Dorn, Kagain, Korgan, Shar-Teel, Montaron, Sarevok, Khalid, Yeslik, Rasaad, Coran, Jaheira, Mazzy
Paladin: Ajantis, Anomen, Keldorn, Mazzy, Dorn
Ranger: Kivan, Minsc, Valygar, Coran
Thief: Alora, Imoen, Skie, Jan, Nalia, Hexxat, Yoshimo, Montaron, Tiax, Coran, Safana
Villain/ Plot: Amelyssan, Bodhi, Irenicus, Sarevok
Wizard: Dynaheir, Edwin, Neera, Xan, Xzar, Baeloth, Aerie, Quayle, Jan, Nalia,
Bonus/ Unnumbered: Baeloth, Clara, Wilson
Please let me hear your thoughts :O
1. Bard: Eldoth Kron, Garrick, Haer'Dalis, Safana
2. Cleric: Aerie, Quayle, Tiax, Viconia DeVir
3. Druid: Branwen, Cernd, Faldorn, Jaheira
4. Fighter: Kagain, Khalid, Korgan Bloodaxe, Shar-Teel Dosan
5. Fighter +: Dorn Il-Khan, Montaron, Rasaad yn Bashir, Yeslik Orothair
6. Paladin: Ajantis Ilvarstarr, Anomen Delryn, Keldorn Firecam, Mazzy Fentan
7. Ranger: Coran, Kivan, Minsc & Boo, Valygar Corthala
8. Thief: Alora, Skie Silvershield, Hexxat, Yoshimo
9. Wizard: Dynaheir, Edwin Odesseiron, Neera, Xzar
10. Wizard +: Imoen, Jan Jansen, Nalia de'Arnise, Xan
11. Villain: Amelyssan, Bodhi, Jon Irenicus, Sarevok Anchev
Bonus: Baeloth Barrityl, Clara, Wilson
Now, if I add one more card, I can form a 12th family.
So far I would go with Elesime, adding her to the Bonus family.
I would also add in an old maid card, though I am still not set on who that would be.
Let me know what you think

Also, I don't think there is a proper, official picture of the Slayer available anywhere.
I could use this picture :P
*shot*
Hm. Okay. Maaaybe a tad over-powered. ^_^;;
Yeah, I got lucky and actually managed to find some official artwork of him.
I think adding the old maid is a very good idea, now the deck has even more uses
I am also really happy that I don't have to leave any cards unnumbered this time, though I had to make some compromises with the grouping, but oh well.
I am actually considering to make a regular deck of cards for Skat, Canasta, Rommé, Poker and the likes in the future, but that would be a lot more work, since I would have to actually draw each of the high cards.
We shall see
Either way, I am very happy you like them
Haven't found any errors yet?
At least I was able to find a typo on Amelyssan so far.
Thank you all very much for your input

Have a promote for your work!
Though, after some quick test playing I found out it's best to leave the villains and the bonus cards out while playing Trump, otherwise the game is over really quickly ...
@Ravenslight: I had it printed at http://www.meinspiel.de/
Over at DeviantArt someone reminded me that the SoD characters are still missing, so I went ahead and finally fixed that today!
Update to version 3.1
- Added SoD companions as quartett number 13
