We found out about this late last night, but outside of some exclamations of "WTF", we had to sit on it until this evening. The whole idea behind Not Another Dime (for Ken Whitman) was initially just to document the man's many con jobs within the RPG Industry and RPG fan-base. Of course we share these people with other fandoms and with the larger "geek" community, so our mission is a bit broader than originally conceived.
Back when Ken "Whit" Whitman started his initial "churn & burn" scams, shell companies, whatever....realistically the internet wasn't much more than a string of local BBS's. It was a bit easier to take from one community and then move on to another. These days everybody has a supercomputer (compared to "back in the day") in their pocket and the World Wide Web lets you connect with more and more people.
We'd hope that some of the people that Ken "Whit" Whitman wants to connect with are at least Googling his name, but evidently some aren't because our main man is trying to interject himself back into the community once again.
"Are you a nerd/Geek? Pokemon, MTG, Yugioh. Want to host a TV show about nerddom? Send me a PM and I maybe I will tell you how to apply for this full-time job.
Nerd stuff also includes: RPGs, computer games, Larping & Cosplay. Anime, Starwars, Walking dead, comics, Etc."
Now aside from our initial reaction, which was more like a spit-take, our back-and-forth started with "Another video project when he hasn't finished the last few ones?!" and ended with, "Thanks Kenny for filling us in on what is acceptable for nerds and/or geeks." Maybe it is just this writer, but if you have to spell our to someone what qualifies as "nerddom", they probably aren't going to be a good fit as a host, which is fine since you (Yes....you Ken "Whit' Whitman) haven't really shown to be a good fit as a producer, at least not on any of your Kickstarters.....
All we can do is hope that any nerd worth their fandom is smart enough to Google Ken "Whit" Whitman.....
A blog dedicated to documenting the assorted details regarding the business/scam dealings of Ken Whitman or Whit Whitman, as he rebranded himself. Originally limited to those interactions within the Role-Playing-Game industry, we've been forced to "branch out" in order to keep the public properly informed.

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)
