Book the Legends Who Built Dungeons & Dragons
Professional appearances from the designers, editors, and artists who built Dungeons & Dragons (1974-1997). We match you with the right guests and handle all contracts. Simple, professional, affordable.
Now there isn't, at the time of posting, a single TSR Alumni listed for hire, but there's still an attempt to appeal to the convention runner: Time Is Running Out
There are only ~160 TSR alumni still alive. Most are in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. D&D is more popular than ever—but the people who built it are being forgotten. Critical Role has millions of viewers. Baldur’s Gate 3 won Game of the Year. Gen Con draws 70,000+ attendees. But how many fans know who designed Ravenloft? Who edited the Player’s Handbook? Who playtested the original rules? Every year, we lose more of these voices. Every convention appearance preserves stories that exist nowhere else.
There are also no listed upcoming events, BUT.....you can pay someone $100 for the privilege of having another layer of bureaucracy between your convention and you special guest!
What you pay:
- Guest appearance fee (set by guest, typically $500-$5,000)
- Guest travel expenses (flight, hotel, per diem)
- Coordination fee: $100 flat (paid to Legends of TSR) once terms are agreed upon and contracts are signed.
NAD "Investigation" in Progress
Now here's our pitch, and essentially an open letter to any actual TSR Alumni who may be contacted by "TSR Alumni": Please reach out to us with any information regarding Ken "Whit" Whitman that you are comfortable sharing. If you want to remain anonymous we won't out you and we generally won't post hearsay, but it could point us out to referable sources. If you're comfortable being a primary source, even better.
Now we haven't outright said that Legends of TSR is a Ken "Whit" Whitman vehicle precisely because our information is second hand but so far the signs point to Kenny and here's what we have so far:
- Anytime we see, well any reference to the 1995 GenCon....well it's usually Kenny.
- "Achievements: Organized and managed the entire staff for*the '95 GEN CON Game Fair."
- The reference:
- Wonder who is the domain registrar for this website? I wonder what the contact is? (WhoIs link)
- legendsoftsr.com: Proxy Protection LLC, 417 Associated Rd #327 Brea CA 92821
- What is the registrar for Kenny's other websites (WhoIs links)?
- littlemonstersentertainment.com: Proxy Protection LLC, 417 Associated Rd #327 Brea CA 92821
- littlemonsterentertainment.com: Proxy Protection LLC, 417 Associated Rd #327 Brea CA 92821
- communityfilmcollaborative.org: no registrar contact listed
- A1A Dumpster Rental: forwards to kenwhitman.com
- kenwhitman.com: Proxy Protection LLC, 417 Associated Rd #327 Brea CA 92821
- pieosync.com: Proxy Protection LLC, 417 Associated Rd #327 Brea CA 92821
- Trying to profit from "connections to TSR" has been a repeated trope (
look at his LinkedIn stories) - Referencing the one GenCon he was "in charge of"....
- All of his current websites have the exact same company acting as Registrant Contact?












The fact this "Legends of TSR" launched shortly after Tim Kask's passing is in bad taste at best, ghoulish at worst. Especially with these tidbits in the pitch: "There are only ~160 TSR alumni still alive....Every year, we lose more of these voices."
