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.

2020.09.17 Not Another Dime Can use a Little Help Locating Someone

 

2020.09.17 Not Another Dime Can use a Little Help Locating Someone
While browsing around today, just doing some normal checkups, we stumbled upon a possible lead on some more Ken "Whit" Whitman Kickstarter buffoonery, or maybe it's just nothing at all.

On the Castles & Crusades: Beyond the River comments section (specifically here) one "Jon B, manager, Emporia of Valoria" stated: "I agree that some of the tactics used "against" you were over the top, but you have several aliases on Kickstarter (Pioneer Games for one) and a number of unfulfilled campaigns with zero communication for periods of years, and you moved out to another state. What did you think would happen?" (emphasis ours)

Pioneer Games

Now this could be anything from a baseless accusation to 110% bonafide buffoonery and well....we'd like to know. There is but one Pioneer Games Kickstarter listed and it looks to be fake as hell. The text doesn't match the stats "A keen boardgamer who has backed over 25 projects", but 0 showing....

There is one suspended Kickstarter for Pioneer Games and that is for The Royal Game of Ur.

The video is stolen straight off of YouTube and the pictures from the British Museum. Not a lot of writing, but definite "Kenny"-style spelling errors, like "pemium" and the inability to spell-out the word "drawer", instead calling it a "draw". 

NAD would like to investigate this a bit further, and a HUGE help would be to get in touch with Jon B. If you know Jon B. and could direct him our way.......we'd love to be able to either add this to the list or clear Kenny's name (for this, and only this, scam/game).
