[chess]

I'm in. I hope they offer uncut sheets.

[Eoghann]

Susan Flea Anthony.

I'm in!

[Becky C]

Robert, These are fantastic and make me smile. I can't wait to see more. Thanks for such a clever project.

[Widdee]

Love the snot out of this!

[PrincessTrouble]

Nice way to commemorate my first KS scam experience. LOL. Love it.

[Cbkimble]

This is definitely a howling good idea.

[Bikefanatic]

As Magik says. . . . thinner borders!

[Widdee]

Same here, Princess. It was my very first KS pledge. I'm in for a few of these!

Do you have a sister? Here are the Founder's comments. Maybe you should announce your Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/do ... s/comments

I'm sure you can get some ppl that would like to thumb there nose at Mr. Slabyk.

Well, we're running it on my wife's account since we're doing it as a joint effort. We have both worked on re-tooling the design.
I'm hoping someone does leave a comment on the Founders deck maybe that will help bring some attention our way.

[jerichoholic]

Not sure why, but this one seems to be struggling for funding, a real shame imo.

[Cbkimble]

I agree. I think it's a dog gone good deck

[rjtomlinson1977]

I think too many people think we're that guy! It's a shame because this deck would have been killer funny.

I hope people aren't that naive, all they have to do is check out y'all profile because you and your wife have successful projects. I'll pledge for two. This deck makes me think of the Mailchimp cards. . .

[Widdee]

Abrahound Lincoln indeed. This just gets cleverer and cleverer.

[Sharpie]

Awesomesauce! Love it.

[Cbkimble]

They definitely wouldn't be barking up the wrong tree with this project.

[Eoghann]

Shame it didn't make it this time around. What's the game plan RJ? At least a handful done with MPC?

[Decknowledgy]

6-Day goal... could this be another Natalia Silva trickery?!
Also this description:

Hounders are good hearted parody of crowdfunding’s most notorious deck of playing cards NEVER produced. But unlike, that shameful deck, with your help this deck of playing cards will be printed by the Expert Playing Card Company (EPCC). Over the last few years there have been many great playing card projects here on Kickstarter. Unfortunately, every once and awhile there’s a bad apple. Recently the Attorney General of the State of Washington has taken the first steps needed to make one of these bad apples (Asylum Playing Cards) pay for his crimes. While the backers of some shameful decks wait for their justice we decided to offer the next best thing.

[Bradius]

The low funding goal and first time creator is a big red flag. That said, I really like the design. Once it is made and stocked in my favorite retailers, I would be interested.

[Gareth]

Be aware this seems a straight copy of the original 2014 Hounders campaign (Thread, KS).

This is being pushed by 'DL Designs', which given that Diane's suspiciously low target KS project was suspended by KS a couple of days ago, suggests this is just a puppet account of hers.

I think the comments in the Krazy Kats thread by several on this forum who remember the past adequately describe why I wouldn't touch this with a 10-mile barge pole.

[Cardileigh]

I was just checking this out. Seems fishy.

[JacksonRobinson]

Fishy is an understatement.

This is a copy of the original Hounders KS, which was also a satirical copy of the original Founders deck. Three levels of shady, run as fast away from this one as you can.

....At least that is my personal opinion.

[dawn]

I was looking at this and couldn't tell if it was a very good parody of a dodgy campaign, or if it was actually a dodgy campaign. The comments here make it pretty clear though. Thanks for saving me money guys

[badpete69]

So I merged the topics. The project is not a copy of the Hounders original project, it is just a relaunch of the project by Diane. She is using her new husband account (for those who do not know, this is RJ Tomlinson ex wife). She even says so in the comments of the first Hounders project. It didnt get funded back then and probably won't this time but who knows

For me it just brings back memory of my first fraudulent pledge project and has zero appeal

[jerichoholic]

I'm fairly certain the project "creator" James is Diane's new beau, of course she is Robert's ex. That being said he is presenting it like HE designed it which of course he did not. I don't know if Robert owns this design or not but i've made him aware of the project in case he was not. Either way the goal is WAY too low for any major printing company and I too recommend avoiding it.

Edit - Definitely avoid it. Robert suspects his wife may be hard up for money and may be planning to scam backers.

Creator's classic response in the comment section :

I would like to greatly apologize for everyone that will see the people my ex is sending to troll my project. I thought after four years of giving him everything he wanted and sitting back in silence letting him take all credit for work that we did together as a TEAM he would have moved on, but he does not want to see me succeed as a designer and does not want to see me doing well. I'm very sorry for everyone that has to see this, I don't know how to block him and his follows from trolling me. I have went as far as contacting my local police and he has not been aloud to contact me in person unless it has to do with the kids. Business and Playing cards have been used as a tool in my child custody so that if I give him what he wants I can have extra time with my kids! I'm sorry that is so wrong. I love designing and I love my kids and will finish printing this deck with or with out his support. Again very sorry to all backers that may have to see his comments on here, he does not want to see me succeed. =(

And also this:
RJ Tomlinson (38 minutes ago)

This design was done by me, Robert Tomlinson.

James Palfreyman (Creator) (34 minutes ago)

We did all art work together, this was not finished by you. Stop Harassing people its been four years!!! MOVE ON

Family drama needs popcorn!

This KS campaign provides a lot of entertainment value - that woman has gone on the offensive:

“I would like to greatly apologize for everyone that will see the people my ex is sending to troll my project. I thought after four years of giving him everything he wanted and sitting back in silence letting him take all credit for work that we did together as a TEAM he would have moved on, but he does not want to see me succeed as a designer and does not want to see me doing well.

No explanation for the low funding goal though.
