A Brief Introduction to this Page's Purpose

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.

2015.08.19 Ken Whitman is a Leader in the Quality POD Market (at Least on Facebook?)

2015.08.19 Ken Whitman is a Leader in the Quality POD Market (at Least on Facebook?)
Well we know that Ken Whitman has driven RapidPOD into the ground and pretty much took Vixen Printing down through guilt by association...(I'm sure the thefts didn't help either).

We also know that he's run a couple of "print shops" since the demise of RapidPOD and I'm somewhat confident that given what he said the costs were for the KoDT 20 Years of Covers book, and their (low) quality, that ol Ken Whitman has kept a printer on-hand over the years.

There was a dedicated RPG Publisher/Printing group on Facebook that Ken Whitman was kicked out of (I'd have no idea why), so the kind of false self-promotion did what any scam artist looking for a new audience would do.....he formed his own group.....

Quality Art Book & Prints FB Group
...and here it is, the "Quality Art Book & Prints" Seriously? Do you think this header graphic works for a "quality" group? A decade-old printer (I'm speculating.....it goes for about $2K) up against a painted cinder-block wall with the sparsest smattering of supplies tossed about? You couldn't spend $33 on some shitty stock art from iStockPhoto?

It's OK Ken Whitman, you can get smaller pieces for about $10....

For someone who puts himself out there as a graphics guy, I just assumed you'd turn some of your skill inward......well, I guess he did....my bad.
Shitty 2' Header Logo
Hell, I can spend less than 2' coming up with something that looks more "quality" than this....and I even used Comic Sans (deliberately)!


Well, maybe Ken Whitman doesn't want to look too professional because then maybe some folks from back in the RapidPOD days would want some of their money back.

You know, like this guy who filed a lien against RapidPOD in Kentucky.
