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.

2018.04.24 Ken "Whit" Whitman Kicking the Can Down the Road

2018.04.24 Ken "Whit" Whitman Kicking the Can Down the Road
Casual readers here might not notice that Ken "Whit" Whitman tends to state, rather frequently, that he's working on his Kickstarter Projects, but we never see any actual proof of such activity.

The reason for this, or at least the only reason we can comprehend for such activity, is that, for the most part, by stating that he's still "working" on these projects Ken "Whit" Whitman isn't in default/has abandoned his obligations.....he's just several years late/behind.

Ken "Whit" Whitman didn't blow through his Kickstarter money on a car,  a cruise, or on other Kickstarters (than the one the money was pledged to), he just ran out of money. He ran out of money on the Pencil Dice....not sure how because nothing was ever manufactured even though he claimed it would "only" cost "about" $10K to produce & ship....even though he took in a combined total of $46,784 for the two Pencil Dice Kickstarters ($38, 161 for the 1st Campaign and $8,623 on the 2nd Campaign).

Where'd the money go Kenny? Where did it go?

Of course these are just two of the 6+ Kickstarters Ken "Whit" Whitman has been involved with that have......issues.

BUT, if he's still "working" on them he can kick that can of obligation down the road and just say he's late, not fraudulent. Of course he also says he's not fraudulent because he didn't intend to take peoples money.

We don't get it.....if you get $46,784...well probably need to round that down to $40,000 to account for Kickstarter's cut and some pledged that didn't actually get charged to Patrons (who now are lucky SOB's...right?) and all you needed to do, by your own accounting, was peel 1/4 of those funds off to manufacturing the product......

......anyway, today Ken "Whit" Whitman said he's quitting Facebook and taking some time to work on his Kickstarter Projects. We already know he has more than one Facebook account, so which one Kenny? Just the one, or maybe this one as well? Then there is this page as well. Heck, we don't even see the profile this post came from!

Ken "Whit" Whitman Deactivating at Least ONE of his Facebook Accounts

"TONIGHT at Midnight Deactivating my account for a bit. Taking time to finish up my Kickstarters and a few other creative venues. If you have any last words, now is the time to PM me!"

Nope, we think Kenny is just trying to make it look like he's doing something on his Kickstarters. If he was actually able to finish one of his many outstanding projects, surely he would have posted an actual update on Kickstarter....and yes, we checked. Nope.....we think Ken "Whit" Whitman is just trying to disappear for a bit....maybe to avoid his responding to his one summons or to avoid any more coming down the legal pipeline.

AND to kick that proverbial Kickstarter can down the road a spell.....

    By definition, he CAN'T finish the KODT:LAS project, can he? The license expired. There is nothing further he can legally do, other than offer refunds.

    Right? Or am I missing something?
