Also, just wanted to let you know... but things just got weirder as he became a patreon of mine 5 hours after the video went live hahaha. very strange

Here is the video:
Even with a run time of 25 minutes, there simply isn't enough time to go over everything regarding Ken "Whit" Whitman, so the video does hit the highlights. The only big things we think need to be addressed for correction (and we might add to the list after a few viewings):
- Ken "Whit" Whitman's hotel wasn't his, but belonged to the family of his ex-wife.
- Noble Knight Games didn't know they were getting product that had already been sold to backers and they pretty much bent over backwards (screwing themselves financially) doing what they could to make things right.
- Ken "Whit" Whitman did release a video for Castles & Crusades, but it wasn't really the Castles & Crusades Kickstarter project....

Thank you for listing the inaccurate items. Good to have them listed. Loved the video. There was a 4th inaccurate item. They stated in the video that Ken is rich due to all these other items (like owning the comic book store (Which he does not not as he is making installment payments to Marcus for it) and owning the hotel and appearing in all those movies/tv shows. Ken has been very vocal (as have those that know him) that he does not have any money (and last I heard was sleeping in the back of the comic store (which may or may not be accurate)). Anyway the video makes it seem like he has a lot of money and so a lot of people question why he has not been sued ... when the answer to that while many-folded is that he has no money to sue him to get.
ReplyDeleteHeya buddy, thanks for the suggestion. I recently added and pinned an update to these suggestions to the video to keep people as informed as possible. However regarding the whole "he doesn't have money anymore" I'm not sure its worth mentioning as all I was doing in the 1st place was quoting something that he said himself.
DeleteMaybe I misunderstood, I am happy to include a little line of text to that section if its worthwhile and factual. let me know your thoughts
All the best and thanks so much for the suggestions I really do appreciate it :D
I posted a full list of the items I saw in the video that you might need to think about corrections for to your pinned update.
DeleteAlso Castles and Crusades wasn't asked to rewrite the script as I recall. Ken just wrote his own script with out telling Troll Lords and filmed the entire thing over one weekend in a local cow field. Why? To do it on the cheap since he had no money. Two guys in a cow field and then one quick scene un a local state park. Troll Lords were shocked to hear what he hand done and refused to let the C&C logo appear on it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't mind that I pointed him over here when I suggested that his campaigns may be of interest for that segment.. :)
