2026.02.27 We Get Word (Indirectly) that Kenny is Taking Another Swing at a Kickstarter Project...Kind of?!

Ken has a new online operation at www.kenwhitman.com, which includes a future web store and a compilation of efforts from at least the last decade (games, movies, and music).

We got an email yesterday, a notice from NAD's contact form.

"Looks like Kenny's setting up an online storefront for his games, films, 

and other oddities..."

We're finding this interesting for a couple reasons. One, it reinforces our documentation of Kenny's AI Music, but doesn't yet prove it. Another it ties directly into one of his failed Kickstarters.

We looked into the URL before......for other reasons. It's not a new site, but the changes are new. In the past it was the website for his A1A Dumpster Rental, at least it was until December of 2023....

The new site now.....

The interesting part, for us, is the crappy rendition of the Deck Dice graphic, mostly because that isn't...well, wasn't, the original graphic for the Deck Dice Kickstarter.

2026.02.28:

2016.04.11:

The Kickstarter comments seem to indicate that the Kickstarter Deck Dice was never fulfilled, but Kenny is setting up a website/webstore to sell Deck Dice?!

Now to be fair, maybe Kenny is attempting to revisit Deck Dice so as to fulfill those Kickstarter obligations, but it's been more than a decade overdue and aside from the updated graphic Kenny hasn't provided an *actual* update since 2024. It'd be great to see one of his Kickstarters get fulfilled, but it's been long enough that we don't think he should get the benefit of the doubt.

NAD's Main Author/Editor Outed and Out Tenkar's Tavern Post Was Removed Upon BS Request

EDITOR'S NOTE: The text below, between the "*****" is the original post from Tenkar's Tavern, after that is Kenny's "request" for removal (with some emphasis of ours) and finally some commentary/receipts. 

*****

Hello Tavern Patrons, long time no read. Christopher Stogdill (Frugal GM) here with a bit of a quick thanks and shout out to one of our communities biggest KickScammers I know of: Ken Whitman, or should I honor his attempted re-brand of Whit Whitman?

For more than a decade now I've been documenting every bit of Kenny's fuckery over at Not Another Dime! (for Ken Whitman). Now my name was overtly attached to that blog, but the only people, until today, that didn't know I was over there either didn't care, hadn't read my 2015 guests posts here at the Tavern, or were Ken "Whit" Whitman.

Seriously, it wasn't too effing hard to figure out:

• 

• I literally mentioned a "not another dime" campaign in an early post, just before forming the blog.
• I reserved his D20 Entertainment LLC domain from the state of Kentucky AFTER looking for his company from all 50 Secretary of State offices.
• I followed up with the hotel, in person, where Ken had allegedly reserved a room for his Kickstarter movies premieres at GenCon. Why? Because my wife had given him an extra $300 specifically for the after-party. 
• I referenced one of my personal blogs, with a review, on NAD.
• Getting information direct from LinkeIn lets a user know who's looked at their profile.

I'll be 110% honest that I was beyond pissed with Ken's bullshit during the KoDT:LAS Kickstarter era. He had fucked over so, so many of my friends. The lies upon lies upon lies....it got old quick. NAD was really intended to be as neutral as possible and simply document everything possible. I feel like my neutrality was, at best, questionable at the onset, but after a decade of uncovering all this....for lack of a better term...shit, I/we (I do have help.....) have difficulty even pretending to be neutral on this singular blog topic.

I think I've been quite clear that 1) NAD is for educational purposes, 2) We're no longer neutral, 3) NAD is a "jumping off" point to enable the reader to make their own informed decision about Mr. Whitman's history and business character, and 4) Don't believe us, follow the links you can and make your own decision.

Thing is, getting information is part of the problem....

You can still find some information regarding Ken's Rapid POD days, and if you talk to some of the old TSR folks you might get some details of Ken's actions. It is difficult to do and really, not many people are going to spend a lot of time doing a "deep dive" for information that you could use as a primary source. Ken has spent a LOT of effort to cover up his tracks. Delete, delete, attack, diminish, seek pity (remember the CTE excuses).....but the biggest single enabling factor for Ken, now Whit, to be able to begin his scams (my personal, legally protected opinion) anew: Time.

People have moved out of the hobby and new people have moved in. There are more gamers now than there have been in the past, and Kickstarter is still a thing.

Not Another Dime! (for Ken Whitman) exists to document as much as possible what Ken "Whit" Whitman has tried to get away with. Is it an attempt to "hound him" so he cannot make a living, of course not, but so he cannot scam people again, most definitely. The "people" I/we initially cared about was specifically the gaming community.

There is a LOT of history with this man and so far it looks like instead of working on his shortcomings and making good on past promises to the gaming community he's just rebranded himself with a new name and found himself a new community. Now it looks like maybe he's trying yet another community, but time will tell.

I'll admit that after 10 years of all this I'm not even upset at Kenny any more, well not really. Not Another Dime! (for Ken Whitman) is more of a pain these days, but it's a necessary pain, so I post when I get a tip (part of the whole "we" on NAD) and I make it a point to periodically poke about to see what's new.

Why out myself now?

Last night I poked around a bit and the deets I really wanted were on LinkedIn. I didn't want to create a fake account or ask someone else to log in on my behalf, so I'm pretty sure that's how Kenny figured it out. This afternoon I got an email from NAD's blog contact form:

I have to assume this came from Ken. I cannot prove it easily and I don't care enough to even try. Many times in the past Ken has threatened people with lawsuits and calls to the "FBI". Kind of comical actually, but I also have to assume that this message was intended to be a chilling effect on NAD.

THIS is why I'm saying "Thank You" to Mr. Whitman. By trying to intimidate me by letting me know that you know who I am you're actually freeing me. I don't have to try and discreetly hunt for crumbs of information to investigate. I don't have to take extra steps to insulate myself from my work. I just don't have to care about a whole extra level of bullshit anymore. Anyone who wants to share can now do so more readily....

It isn't hard to find me, never was, but since you've started this route of discovery, feel free to send the FBI my way......at least I know that everything I've ever posted is within my 1st Amendment rights and not libel or slander......since the truth is the best defense against either and I've been keeping receipts.

Dear Mr. XXXXXXXX:

I write concerning defamatory1 content published on your website, Tenkar’s Tavern (tenkarstavern.com), specifically the article identified below.

Article at Issue:
Title: “Here’s Something You Won’t Read Often: Thank You Ken Whitman”
Published: January 16, 2026
Author: Christopher Stogdill
URL: https://www.tenkarstavern.com/2026/01/heres-something-you-wont-read-often.html

The article contains statements that falsely assert or imply that I have engaged in fraudulent or criminal conduct2, including but not limited to referring to me as a “KickScammer” and stating that I may “scam people again.” In context, these statements convey to a reasonable reader that I have engaged in criminal fraud.3

I have never been charged with, indicted for, or convicted of any crime in any state or federal court.4

Statements that characterize an individual as having committed scams or engaged in fraudulent activity, when false, constitute defamation per se under Kentucky law.5

You are hereby placed on notice that these statements are disputed as false and defamatory.

Demand:

Pursuant to KRS 411.0516, I hereby request that within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter, you:

1. Remove statements that characterize me as a “scammer” or assert or imply that I have engaged in scams or fraudulent conduct;

2. Publish a correction clarifying that any statements asserting that I have engaged in scams or fraudulent conduct are disputed and unsupported; and

3. Cease and desist from publishing or republishing statements asserting that I have engaged in criminal or fraudulent activity.

If this matter is not resolved within ten (10) days, I will consider all available legal remedies as permitted under Kentucky law.

Additionally, please preserve all documents, communications, and records related to this article, including drafts, editorial communications with the author, and website analytics reflecting viewership in Kentucky.

Sincerely,
Kenneth E. Whitman Jr.

Remarks: Now while "we" don't agree that Tenkar's Tavern should've taken this "offending" post down, it makes sense seeing that Kenny currently has a lawsuit against Erik Tenkar in Kentucky right now. It's his blog anyway, so our opinion matter not. Now as to some very specific points....

1) Defamation: the act of communicating false statements about a person that injure the reputation of that person. We're going to circle around back to this.

2) Partially true. There hasn't been any allegation of criminal wrong-doing, though that isn't that much of a leap of logic. Using Kenny's logic though, there is nothing wrong with these comments because the author has "never been charged with, indicted for, or convicted of any crime in any state or federal court." Kenny has used this excuse of a lack of criminal charges to excuse behavior that would most likely be remedied in civil courts. By this rationale, there can be no defamation because none of our authors haven't been charged in criminal court. We do know that Ken has been reported to the authorities before, but we do not know the outcome except that the complainant was directed to civil court......

3) Probably true. A "reasonable reader" would probably come to this conclusion, but to be fair, a "reasonable reader" would also confuse civil vs. criminal action and would assume that at some point there probably would be criminal charges, but that's our opinion/speculation. The purpose of NAD is, and has always been "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." It is LITERALLY written at the top of every page, along with "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."

4) Technically true. Ken "Whit" Whitman was served with a Civil Suit in 2018 (details here) and more recently end of 2024 (details here). We can only hope that state and/or federal charges eventually appear.

5) Again, partially true. That is a factual statement, but only on it's own, not in relation to the original post. First off, there is a lot more to a defamation case than simply a false statement, and we don't even think we have met the threshold for any false statements, much less the remaining requirements for defamation under Kentucky law. Since we'll go into the law in our next point, let's stick to the facts, flavored with opinion, from the original post at the Tavern:

Ken Whitman had a series of Kickstarters that were fully funded, but not fulfilled (at least by Kenny). KoDT:LAS, Traveller, C&C, Deck Dice, Pencil Dice, RPG Pencil Dice. These Kickstarters overlapped and none have been fulfilled as promised. Ken admits, multiple times, to co-mingling Kickstarter funds ("Actually, yeah, all of it was put into the company fund.", and "Making Tv pilots and movies is my dream.   So I have funneled in extra monies from pencil dice to keep editing & producing.") Ken ran these specific six Kickstarters under d20 Entertainment, which was not an *actual* company he owned. Ken sold product as part of the project funding and lied about cost and production of said product. There's more, but this is enough.

So we have six unfulfilled Kickstarters that were definitely "stacked" upon each other, with some even sharing fundraising timelines, being run by a non-existent "company" and where the money was co-mingled by an individual. So not only is d20 Entertainment a lie, which means that Kenneth E. Whitman Jr. is personally (from a real and legal sense) responsible for everything associated with these Kickstarters, but we have evidence of him making specific lies about costs and production.

From Merriam.com

Scammer

one who perpetrates a scam : a person who commits or participates in a fraudulent scheme or operation

Notice how the definition doesn't actually mention anything about civil or criminal liability? No reference to having to be charged, much less convicted. Now clearly "Kickscammer" is not a real word, but a manufactured portmanteau combining "Kickstarter" and "Scammer". Since we've posted receipts here in this post showing the clear elements of a scam related to Kickstarter(s)......looks like a truthful statement!

6) Yet again, partially true. Technically Kenny has provided factual statements regarding Kentucky Revised Statute 411.051, but so not applicable to the matter at hand.

 

411.051 Libel actions against newspaper, magazine, or periodical -- Demand for

and publication of correction -- Effect.

(1) In any action for damages for the publication of a defamatory statement in a

newspaper, magazine, or periodical, the defendant shall be liable for actual damages

sustained by plaintiff. The defendant may plead the publication of a correction in

mitigation of damages. Punitive damages may be recovered only if the plaintiff

shall allege and prove publication with legal malice and that the newspaper,

magazine, or periodical failed to make conspicuous and timely publication of a

correction after receiving a sufficient demand for correction.

(2) A "sufficient demand for correction" is a demand for correction which is in writing;

which is signed by the plaintiff or his duly-authorized attorney or agent; which

specifies the statement or statements claimed to be false and defamatory, states

wherein they are false, and sets forth the facts; and which is delivered to the

defendant prior to the commencement of the action.

(3) A "correction" is either:

(a) The publication of an acknowledgment that the statement or statements

specified as false and defamatory in the plaintiff's demand for correction are

erroneous; or

(b) The publication, in a fair and impartial manner as a matter of law, of the

plaintiff's statement of the facts (as set forth in his demand for correction) or a

fair summary thereof, exclusive of any portions thereof which are defamatory

of another, obscene, or otherwise improper for publication.

If the demand for correction has specified two (2) or more statements as false and

defamatory, the correction may deal with some of such statements pursuant to (a)

above and with other of such statements pursuant to (b) above.

(4) A "conspicuous publication" in a newspaper is a publication which is printed in

substantially as conspicuous a manner as the statement or statements specified as

false and defamatory in the demand for correction.

(5) A "timely publication" in a daily newspaper is a publication within ten (10) business

days after the day on which a sufficient demand for correction is received by the

defendant. A "timely publication" in a newspaper, magazine, or periodical other

than a daily newspaper is a publication in or prior to the next regular issue which is

published not less than ten (10) business days after the day on which a sufficient

demand for correction is received by the defendant.

Effective: July 15, 1996

• We've already shown that our commentary in the original post, and here, is truthful and therefor not defamatory by definition.
• Kenny has to prove damages. If there are no damages there is no civil defamation. For example, we could post that Kenny has the word "Buffoon" tattooed across his forehead. It would be a patently false statement (or we assume it would be), but if doesn't cause demonstrable damages.....not civil defamation. 
• KS 411.501 also requires "legal malice" which generally means that the comments were done willfully on purpose, without justification, and with the knowledge they will cause injury. The comments were done on purpose, but were justified and there is no knowledge that they will cause injury. Making it easier to inform people so they do not risk their resources on a future Kickstarter scam (Kenny has stated he can start a new Kickstarter "at any time"), is not "injury".

Final Comments: We've always considered Ken "Whit" Whitman to be a con-man, a fraudster, a scammer. Ok, technically not correct since we've known the guy for at least 20 years. This opinion was formed over the last 11 years or so. Not Another Dime (for Ken Whitman) was created a decade or so ago strictly for documentation, but it clearly has a heavy dose of opinion in the form of commentary. We literally reference this at the top of every page because we utterly failed to remain neutral. Because of this we've stated many times to feel free to assume we're heavily biased (we are) liars (we're not) and follow the links, where you can, and make your own opinions. Please.....please...don't take our word for anything. Browse through the links still remaining on the "Ken Sez" page. Take some time running through the various Kickstarter comments (in the right sidebar).

2026.02.11 Whit Whitman Posting over at Facebook

We got an email today through the blog:

Ken is posting regularly on FB under Whit Whitman ( https://www.facebook.com/whit.whitman.2025 ) A regualr series of "Tales from a TSR Alumni: White Wolf Gen Con Parties Were WILD! by Ken "Whit" Whitman"

Good luck, and thanks for your great work!

Regards,

[REDACTED]

Note: This email was sent via the Contact Form gadget on 

https://notanotherdime.blogspot.com

Now we do go in an periodically review our raison d'être on Facebook, so we fired up the old sparkbox and surfed the interwebs for any new news.

For the most part, not a surprise. A ton of self-promotion, as usual, and mostly stories hyping up Ken's time at TSR. You'd think he was there for decades with all of this "insider knowledge" he has. Really comes off of as an attempt to inflate his self-importance and connection to the various creatives from TSR's heyday. It really felt like a big page of ads in an attempt to legitimize his Legends of TSR endeavor.  

While we just skimmed for the most part we did read a good bit of a particular post. We don't want to put the entire body of the text here, but highlight a few key parts. The emphasis is ours and we cut out content to highlight some key segments, but otherwise did no editing to change context or order:

Tales from a TSR Alumni: I'm the BAD GUY in many people's stories by Ken "Whit" Whitman

Not because I meant to be. Because unmedicated ADHD is a wrecking ball with a smiley face painted on it. People want to believe in you. You're charming. You're full of ideas. You talk a great game. And then something falls apart, and they feel stupid for trusting you. That guilt turns into anger, and that anger turns you into the villain. Not because you were malicious. Because the wreckage showed up and you were the one holding the keys. That's a particular kind of shame. The kind where you know you didn't mean it, and you also know that doesn't matter. 

Today I'm ten years medicated. About a sixth of my life. The other five-sixths? Severe ADHD. Didn't know it.

<edit>

That confidence cost me. I had Kickstarters that failed. Not because I couldn't do the work. Because I couldn't manage the load. There's a difference, and nobody cares about the difference when they're waiting for something you promised.

Then Larry Elmore changed my life.

<edit>

For about ten years I worked hand-in-hand with him. We created his Kickstarter for "The Complete Elmore." Raised $300,000. We were supposed to get that book out in six months. Took closer to a year.

<edit>

He got so frustrated he looked me dead in the face and said: 

"You're going to go get medicated for ADHD, or I'm going to fire you."

<edit>

Getting medicated doesn't mean you take a pill and things start working. It took me about eighteen months before my brain settled into what I'd consider a safe path. Eighteen months of adjustment. Of figuring out what focus actually felt like after fifty-something years of never having it.

<edit>

I'm happy to be TEN YEARS medicated.

ADHD is a hell of a thing! 

XOXOX - Whit

Now we do not expect every, well really ANY reader, to pick up on we noticed right off the bat....the timing. According to this post, Ken has been medicated for the last decade, presumably since 2016, and now he's good. 

We call bullshit. Not that Ken's on medication and that Whit has a decade of being properly medicated behind him, but the general story he's trying to portray in this post, and to a larger extent, all the other posts on this page.

According to the layout of this post, Ken was not taking meds and therefor in the throes of unmedicated ADHD, resulting in an overconfidence that is the reason he "had Kickstarters that failed". Then Larry Elmore changed his life, working with him to get out another Kickstarter for the Complete Elmore. It was that process that led to the exchange where Larry told him "You're going to go get medicated for ADHD, or I'm going to fire you." Now, 10 years later, Ken is happy "figuring out what focus actually felt like after fifty-something years of never having it."

Complete and utter bullshit.

1st off, Kenny was born in 1967, according to a later post on this Facebook page. This makes him either 58 or 59 depending on when his birthday is. Starting ADHD meds 10 years ago would mean he was 48 or 49 when he started, which makes "fifty-something years of never having it." contradictory.

Now sure....maybe he's just rounding it up to 50 and now he's rounding up to 60....that's 10 years close enough.

Nope...still calling bullshit.

We cannot fixate on the specific start date of that collaboration with Larry Elmore, but the Kickstarter shows a projected fulfillment date of "August 2013" and if they thought they would "get that book out in six months" then we can assume that the Kickstarter was set to end in February of 2013.

The failed Kickstarters were before this collaboration, remember.....

....but they weren't.

We picked up this blog in response to the Knights of the Dinner Table: Live Action Series Kickstarter, arguably the 1st "failed" Kickstarter in the chain of failure that drew attention to Ken "Whit" Whitman, conveniently also a decade ago. KoDT: LAS had it's funding period December 8, 2013 to February 4, 2014.

Last I checked, these dates occur AFTER February-August 2013.

Aside: Ken logged in to Kickstarter yesterday, but no update!

So again, calling bullshit.

Well, maybe the whole before or after is just Kenny being confused. He was working on that project, got the advice, and then started medication, which is the crux of the post.

Nope... still bullshit. First of all, according to the timeline Kenny posted, the Elmore book took closer to a year to finish, which means he was working on that while he was soliciting for KoDT: LAS funding. If we take the timeline at face value and he started ADHD medication in the summer of 2013, AND it took him "Eighteen months of adjustment" then we could presume he's "adjusted" around the start of 2015.   

Our 1st post here was in August of 2015.....a full eight (8!) months into the year were he's "adjusted", according to his own words! Just read pretty much any post with a date of 2015 in the title.

So we currently have Kenny starting ADHD meds during fulfillment of The Complete Elmore, which was Summer/Fall of 2013. This was AFTER the failed Kickstarters, according to Kenny. We know these Kickstarters were AFTER The Complete Elmore, not before.....

......but really, is all this enough to call bullshit?

Not by itself, but we've been posting for 10 and a half years now and we remember.....again, emphasis is ours:

"The fact Ken pulled together Brothers Barbarian season 1 and 2 largely on his own (writing the scriipt, assembling the talent, finding the camera, crews etc) was damn impressive. True he ultimately never delivered BB2 but I was there when it was being shot in KY and to my eye it looked like a professionally run operation. They knocked that a thing out over a four day period and the logistics of doing that was made an impression. That coupled with Ken's apologies and talk of being on new meds for his ADHD and having turned over a new leaf... Hell, I believe in second chances. So when he came to us with a KODTLAS proof of concept teaser in his hand (all paid for, cast and shot by him from what I understood) it seemed ike a no brainer. Especially when he presented a short list of names of people who were going to be working with him. AND including a 'money guy' who was to monitor all the money."

This commentary from Jolly Blackburn was regarding a site visit he and Barbara Blackburn made to the set of filming for Brothers Barbarian Season 2 Episode 2....in September 2012. That episode was shown as airing simply in "2012". Pretty sure that if it aired in 2012, after Season 2 Episode 1, that it was filmed sometime before December 31, 2012.

Hmmm.......last time we checked 2012 is most definitely before 2013! None of Kenny's proposed timeline works out with reality and even IF we dismiss the timing and accept that he's been "adjusted" since 2016 (according to his post), we literally have a decades' worth of documentation that seems to indicate that Ken "Whit" Whitman has been anything but "adjusted" these last 10 years.

What seems more likely, that our main man is on the "up and up" since getting his meds right in 2015 (our math with his series of events) or 2016 (his math), or that he's been a scamming people since at least 2015 and this is just another attempt to show that he's turned a new leaf and someone you can hire to access VIPs for your convention? We literally just showed documentation of him claiming "improvement due to ADHD meds" (paraphrasing).

By all means, browse Not Another Dime, follow the links that still work, and make up your own mind....  

2026.02.13 Well, this is Awkward: The Whitman Method

So we were checking out Ken "Whit" Whitman's Facebook (at least one of the current ones, unsure of how many pages he has) today, and.... as expected, a lot of self-promotion, mostly about his connection with TSR. Presumably to help promote his Legends of TSR website/services, but not the subject of this particular entry.

Kenny has always been about self-promotion and his actions in the past seem to indicate he's more of the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" mind-set. Regardless...it is what it is.

One of his posts pushed a new endeavor he's calling The Whitman Method, where he's giving Game Master advice as an offer to teach you the 12 Steps to Becoming a Great Game Master.  So far....not seeing an angle here. No "pay to learn" thing going on, no subscription......really nothing.

Pretty sure he's using some AI to increase production values as he has short graphical videos with a good female voice narration that actually augment the content. The grammar and spelling far better than Ken's norm, so we're guessing there is some help there as well. We did run things through an AI ourself to see if it could detect if this was AI generated content and this was the result:

85–90% human-written

10–15% human + AI polish

~0–5% pure AI

Now it wasn't looking at or listening to the videos, but that content was augmentation as opposed to duplicating the written posts, and this is Facebook here, nobody is realistically spending that much time and effort hand-cranking out videos for these posts.

We haven't read through all of the posts yet, but there is actually some good stuff there, and probably worth your time. I know, kind of surprised us as well, but the top of our pages here do state: "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." Consider this documented.

TL;DR

Ken "Whit" Whitman has a new Facebook page giving out GM advice that is worth a read.

2026.02.07 Looking at a Canceled Kickstarter (It's not too late though!)

For reasons that don't need to be gone into, we were.....motivated...to look at one of Ken "Whit" Whitman's failed cancelled suspended Kickstarters. This particular one would be the Dice O'Matic, which sadly wasn't actually that bad of an idea, but there really didn't need to be a Kickstarter for it (in our opinion).

Now a lot of links are gone from back in the day, but we're going to run with what we think are a couple of generally safe assumptions: 1) most "general" Chinese produced products available now were likely available a decade or so ago (not like modern electronics, but basic type crap) and 2) these type items were likely cheaper a decade or so ago.

Now either (or both) of these assumptions could be wrong, but they seem safe enough to run with.

Dice O'Matic was launched on July 2, 2014.

Oddly enough, Kenny seems to have logged in to his Ken Whitman Games Kickstarter page earlier this week....hmm.....

2026.02.14 Edit: Who proofreads this? Earlier this week? More like last fall, but still.....

Now this is an old graphic we made years ago, but it shows the timeline of this Kickstarter compared to some of the others:

We cannot verify the stop date for the campaign, but there was an end date of July 22, so there may be some wiggle room there, but the last update as of today was made on July 3rd, so just a day in. Looks like Kenny was set to pick up $3075 when the campaign was cancelled, well "suspended" according to the site.

This breaks down to 132 product backers (2 were just for $2 as "I want to help the cause backer"s. This means that at that time Kenny was on the hook to provide 133 Dice O'Matics for prices ranging from $20 to $35, though it appears he was including shipping. Now back in the day he claimed that he wasn't just repackaging bulk product, but adding value by having it custom made. There were claims that he was just buying it off of Alibaba.

"We had more buttons put on 4 total and we adding some BUMPS on the floor to make the dice move unsorted of spin!"

Even when confronted with a then-current link, Ken responded that he was having a product custom made, which is a thing.

"Hey Adam, This is the unit we modified from china. And they did not have a removable glass bubble, or 4 buttons. You may purchase them without the dice and top--- much cheaper. If you purchase 100 or them. i appreciate your concern in your quest to bring new quality product to the market. :-)"

Freedom Units in Red

Now we cannot use that url, but looking at Alibaba today, remembering our assumption #1, we found this: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Wholesale-Bulk-16mm-8mm-Plastic-Casino_1601583988551.html?

Currently, for the quantity needed to fulfill the Kickstarter, we're looking at a unit price (with shipping) of $6.40 ($851.20 total). This makes sense with our assumption #2.

As of the date for the title of this post, these models are available as a one-off on eBay for about $24 (shipping and import duties included). Just look up "Transparent Plastic Cover Automatic Dice Roller Cup" and you should be good. 

It should be noted that this particular model comes with the cover and dice, which Ken said were things he was willing to add as "stretch goals" (remember assumption #1). Also, in one of his videos he kept saying his had a glass dome, but video clearly shows the mold mark from being injected/molded plastic.
