A Brief Introduction to this Page's Purpose

 Who is Ken Whitman?

Not Another Dime! is dedicated to documenting the assorted, and sometimes wild, details of Mr. Ken Whitman's business dealings within the Role Playing Game (RPG) industry. This place is NOT intended to be a medium of discussion about Mr. Whitman, pro or con, but instead be a "jumping off" point to enable the reader to make their own informed decision about Mr. Whitman's history and business character. (Editor's Note: After years of this documentation, we simply cannot be anything BUT "con" when it comes to Mr. Whitman)

Whenever possible, links to the original source material will be provided, but in many cases that information may have been deleted or secured behind restricted-access (like a private Facebook page) accounts.

Anything posted here is the opinion of the retrospective author and any content shown is to be considered "fair use" and posted for educational purposes only.

Note to authors: Please begin each post with the original date of the event being documented in the format of YYYY.MM.DD (i.e. If the event being recorded happened on March 15th, 2015 and today's date was August 8th, 2018 the beginning of the post's title would be 2015.03.15 and not 2018.08.08) so readers can use the Chronology page to find specific information. Please use appropriate tags when possible for the same reason.

Note to contributors: If you have some valid data to send, screenshots, links to other Ken Whitman stories, etc., please feel free to send a gmail to notanotherdimeblog. We'll look into it and post if appropriate.

2026.08.30 A Tale of Two Wikipedia Pages....

2026.08.30 A Tale of Two Wikipedia Pages....
I'm looking into something that cannot be reported on yet, but in the meantime we noticed that Kenny had added more videos and tabletop icon pages for members of KenzerCo's D-Team. More inane AI-drafted drivel about some of the very first industry folks he screwed over when he resurfaced to start the Kickstarter scams that led to the reason we're both on different sides of this computer screen. It should be infuriating to see these quantity-over-quality fluff pieces about people you've known and once considered friends. People you still think of fondly and can think of dozens of good times around and outside of the gaming table.

I'm sure on some level I am upset, and the word contempt comes to mind, but there's still too much emotion there. Derision maybe?

Regardless, I do find these attempts to shotgun out these verbose "fact-checked" articles, presumably to generate ad revenue, to be simply pathetic. That I'm still checking in from time to time isn't even close to fun for me. Instead it's a burden, but it is one that has to be done by someone, lest Ken "Whit" Whitman rise again to start the cycle anew. I think the case can clearly be made that it has happened before, from the Rapid POD era, to the Kickstarter era, and now possibly the AI era. All it takes is time, and some quiet scrubbing of the internet here & there.......

"...and just to let everyone know, I can start a Kickstarter anytime I want."

-Ken Whitman, 2024.11.07 The Vlog of Many Things Interview

 Case in point: Wikipedia. I took a look (again) at Ken Whitman's Wikipedia page and while it isn't quite as "glowing" about the man as it once was, it's still overwhelmingly positive about the man....and I wonder why?

*THIS* Doesn't look fishy at all....

Well, there's a problem right there....."A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page."

Now this warning isn't new. We mentioned it about a year ago....but that it is still up/there?

Hmmmmm......now I've never even looked at the "talk" page on any Wikipedia article, much less this one, but having done so.....well, surprise surprise....Kenny has entered the chat (as it were). Now, I'm not going to claim that every similarly named account on that page belongs to Ken Whitman. I don't have the evidence to establish that. What I can document is that Wikipedia itself flags the account Kenwhitman as potentially personally or professionally connected to the subject. Even more interesting, a later edit request explicitly states, “I have a conflict of interest as the subject, so I won’t edit directly.” Another editor subsequently addressed the user WhitWhitman while working through those requested changes. Kenny has used multiple Facebook accounts in the past (Edit: and evidently multiple RPG.net accounts as well) , although that alone obviously doesn’t establish that these similarly named Wikipedia accounts belong to him. What is interesting is that the edits associated with them consistently seek changes favorable to the subject. The user Kenwhitman is noted as "The following Wikipedia contributor may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.

While I was at it, I did pop over to look at the Knights of the Dinner Table Wikipedia page and was surprised to see Not Another Dime (for Ken Whitman) listed as a source!

KoDT Reference

Now, generally speaking, I don't consider Not Another Dime the sort of independent secondary source Wikipedia should rely upon for contentious claims about Ken Whitman. I'm obviously not independent of the subject, and much of this site consists of primary-source documentation and my own reporting. There are certainly things NAD can establish—particularly what I personally documented or published at a particular time—but seeing it cited by Wikipedia was still a surprise.

2026.07.25 Kenny's New Site is Up..and He Wants Some Free Advertising.

2026.07.25 Kenny's New Site is Up..and He Wants Some Free Advertising.
Kenny cannot leave well enough alone and decided to use his namesake URL to put together a web player for his AI created music and *shudder* AI music videos. He had to leave a comment, which we decided long ago to not publish, presumably so we would help promote the site.

Seriously though, I cannot recommend watching videos of Kenny strutting around, not even accidentally. I've heard maybe 15 seconds of a half-dozen songs and nope....not for me, but if that's your thing then by all means search for it yourself.

I'm not going to help send additional traffic to the site.

While I was at it, I checked on on his AI generated gaming content storefront (well that's what I think of it as). The storefront has been live for roughly a month and, at the time I checked, only one item was listed for sale. After ten years in retail, I generally expect any storefront to offer more than a single product. Even the local unmanned ice house sells water, bagged ice, and loose ice.

I'll just leave this screenshot here and consider the current state of the storefront documented. I probably wouldn't have bothered to look for another 4 months or so otherwise.

At least he admits it's AI....

It's "great" that Kenny has time and energy to put out a bunch of AI generated stuff, but instead of music videos.....I don't know, maybe finish up those two other films people paid for on Kickstarter. Depending on how one attributes the eventual release of KoDT:LAS, some would count three unfinished projects rather than two.

It's interesting to see the copyright attributed to 'Little Monster Entertainment.' As of my July 30, 2026 search of the Kentucky business database, I did not locate a matching registration under that name.

2026.07.12 Ken "Whit" Whitman's Newest AI Venture: ConsignmentRPG.com

2026.07.12 Ken "Whit" Whitman's Newest AI Venture: ConsignmentRPG.com
Well I knew it's been too quiet on the Ken "Whit" Whitman front.......

Evidently 'ol Kenny started a new webstore over at consignmentrpg.com. I'll give him credit in the fact that he isn't Whitwashing it (why that isn't yet on Urban Dictionary surprises me) as he's put his name all over it. Thing is, even if he hadn't it'd have been obvious. Still using the same domain host he's used for pretty much everything we know of, which at this point is only referenced because he's tried to not claim ownership of some nefarious (my opinion) stuff in the past.

No, this website has his name all over it literally as well as figuratively. There literally is a copyright banner at the bottom of each page and the figuratively.....well we can show you both.

The only product currently available

This is the entirety of his webstore. To paraphrase a famous American Industrialist, "You can buy any RPG item you desire, as long as it's 'The Whitman Method' on PDF."

Terms for publishers

We got this gem sent to us, which appears to be a paraphrase (publisher email info?) from the website's FAQ page, "Approved publishers currently receive 85% of eligible product sales and are paid weekly by default. Payout method and onboarding requirements are confirmed with each approved publisher before first payout. Payouts may be delayed, withheld, or adjusted for chargebacks, payment failures, fraud review, rights disputes, policy violations, account issues, or marketplace errors."

This is probably just me, but the "currently" hits me as odd. I have a bit of confidence in this source material since it shares content with Ken's recent Facebook Post. Unfortunately a hyperlink is not available because Kenny likes to bar certain individuals from viewing his posts and even if you had a hyperlink and a non-barred account, the link will not work. This is the link, in case this changes (https://www.facebook.com/20531316728/posts/10154009990506729).

Facebook Post about the site

"I've been publishing tabletop games since 1989. Eight companies, a hundred-plus products, and I've watched every distribution channel this hobby ever had rise and fall.

Here's what I see happening right now: some of the most creative RPG work being made today is coming from people using AI tools — and those same people are getting run out of every marketplace and forum they try to sell in. Not for making bad work. For being honest about how they made it.

So I built a storefront where honesty is the point.

Consignment RPG is a digital marketplace for AI-assisted tabletop creators. Every product carries a Creation Disclosure — a plain table showing exactly what was human-made, AI-assisted, or AI-generated, area by area: writing, art, maps, layout, mechanics. Buyers see it before they spend a dime. No hiding, no witch hunts. Just the truth, on the label.

The terms: you keep 85% of eligible sales. Digital products first — PDFs, maps, tokens, VTT assets, zines, supplements, tools. Publishers are reviewed before the seller tools open, so the shelf stays curated.

The shelf is small right now. That's not a bug — founding publishers get visibility that disappears once the catalog fills up.

If you make tabletop work with AI in your toolkit and you're tired of apologizing for it, come look: https://www.consignmentrpg.com/publish-with-us/

Questions welcome. I'll answer anything."

There's just a fair bit to unpack here. Kenny has been getting pushback for, well a lot of stuff, but lately it's been because of all of his AI generated content that he says is "fact checked", but the few I've seen (I have to assume they are representative) have clearly not been fact checked, or fact checked poorly (which isn't much of a difference to me). Kenny tried to keep his attachment to said AI generation projects on the down-low, but was unable to do so.

There hasn't been a witch-hunt. I haven't heard of anyone being "tired of apologizing" for using AI, but let's be fair.....not like I have some inside track on "the pulse" of the industry. What I do have though, is over a decade of documenting Ken "Whit" Whitman's business dealings (where I can) and any kind of business of his where "honesty is the point" concerns me. I wouldn't trust him to keep accurate track of sales and pay out appropriately. With KoDT:LAS he sold all kinds of KenzerCo product and "special items" and never gave an accounting. I wouldn't trust Kenny to not take any "product" and simply use AI to recreate it himself and sell knockoffs while delaying the originals "for review". 

Now a 15% royalty is a lot better than what you'd get from the likes of DriveThruRPG, but that site has the reach and the history. I kind of like the way Kenny breaks down the AI usage by category. It's a bit clunky and might need tweaking, but it's a good idea.

In the end though, I think one should look at the totality of looking to enroll in an online store from a man who has done sketchy online store stuff before.

Do I need to share more? Now clearly I cannot tell you, dear reader to do (or not do) anything, but I am reminded of a famous quote from Poor Richard's Almanac, "He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas" Now I'm not saying Ken "Whit" Whitman is a dog, but instead you should always be careful of who you do business with.....

2026.05.30 Wondering What New Atrocities We Will Be Shown

2026.05.30 Wondering What New Atrocities We Will Be Shown
Was looking to update something and wandered over to Kenny's personal site....personal as in one of, if not THE only one, that has his name on it: kenwhitman.com.

Let's hope he manages to put decent graphics up this time.

On behalf of nobody in particular: take your time.....


Coming Soon!

2026.05.27 I Finally Did It: Watched One of Kenny's Gawd-Awful AI Videos.


As a rule I avoid actually trying to "consume" any of Kenny's terrible AI drivel "content" and view just enough to document, but I came across a video for someone I know and was relatively friendly with (several night's out drinking at Origins or GenCon and a few get-together's with mutuals).

After watching the 4'43" video on Brian Jelke, all I have to say is that there is no way I believe this crap had been fact-checked....at all. Pretty sure Kenny didn't even watch the video before posting. I assume it is entirely automated.

While I'm NOT going to provide a step-by-step armchair common-sense fact-check, I will say that at an absolute minimum, the video could at least attempt to pronounce his name correctly!

The video bounces around a lot, lacking any type of direct focus, and tries to attribute things to Brian (pretty sure I'm allowed to call him Brian) that were not his idea/design. More "facts" were just wrong and a simple check of a couple of rulebooks would've easily disproven the statement.

Don't even get me started on the graphics.......nice use of NotebookLM there....not.

100% Certain This Was NOT Fact Checked


Can't wait to see what kind of hatchet job he does on David Kenzer tomorrow!

Bet He Doesn't Mention Screwing KenzerCo Over!
