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.

Thanks for Playing, but Bugger Off

 

Thanks for Playing, but Bugger Off
Tenkar's Tavern picked up the same notion that Ken "Whit" Whitman is involved in the Unforgiven Unmortal Kickstarter project. The math is pretty simple and Kenny did insert his fictional company into the trailer......

One thing that the Tavern remarked on were some words shared by someone that inquired, through Kickstarter, about Ken Whitman's involvement in this project. The thing is, this response by Robert Costner tries to diminish Ken Whitman's involvement in the project, but we'd like to ask since when does someone who is just "merely part of the creative team along with several dozen other talented contractors" warrant 3% of a "teaser trailer" to display their fictional company name, albeit at maybe a 85% font size to the Producer's company? Were any other of the "several dozen" contractors named?

Nope?

Well Tenkar's Tavern got permission to forward the response they referenced so we could record it for posterity. We tend to agree it has a bit of an "eff off" vibe, but read it as you may. We don't have the initial inquiry, so there could be an aspect we are unaware of....to be fair.

Creator Response through Kickstarter

"Thank you for reaching out to me. Our company has contracts with many independent companies, actors, and crew members, and we do run background checks on all of our contractors. Mr. Whitman has no legal or criminal activities on his record. During past meetings, he seems very respectful to all that attend. I do know of his past Kickstarter failures and assure you that Mr. Whitman is not involved with our company's business practices and is merely part of the creative team along with several dozen other talented contractors. Once again, thank you for your concern, and have a wonderful day."

    Here's another couple pages for auditions for this project (the text is the same as in your May 9th post) from a local acting jobs board, both of which have Ken's name attached to them. https://callboard.com/audition/fantasy-tv-pilot-unmortal-2/ https://callboard.com/audition/unmortal-tv-pilot-staring-former-wwe-star-al-snow/
