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.

2026.01.16 Can You Help HAD Peek Behind the Curtain of Legends of TSR?

2026.01.16 Can You Help HAD Peek Behind the Curtain of Legends of TSR?
NAD can use a little help getting the 411 on a possible new Ken "Whit" Whitman vehicle: Legends of TSR. What is Legends of TSR you ask? Basically someone is trying to place themselves as a gatekeeper to prior TSR employees for conventions, as if it is hard for a convention runner to contact people to be special guests....

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."
Whit Whitman Experience from LinkedIn

    • The reference:
Legends of TSR Reference to GenCon 1995

  • Wonder who is the domain registrar for this website? I wonder what the contact is? (WhoIs link)

Legends of TSR WhoIs Information

Well that seems useless, Ken's name isn't anywhere on this......wait a minute.....
Little Monsters Entertainment WhoIs Information

Little Monster Entertainment WhoIs Information

Ken Whitman.com WhoIs Information

Pieosync WhoIs Information

Now obviously this doesn't mean that Ken or Whit Whitman is behind the Legends of TSR website, but (outside of spelling errors) does strongly point to him:
  1. Trying to profit from "connections to TSR" has been a repeated trope (look at his LinkedIn stories)
  2. Referencing the one GenCon he was "in charge of"....
  3. All of his current websites have the exact same company acting as Registrant Contact?

Edit:
Not sure if this really counts as an edit, but literally as this post was being written, Kenny's LinkedIn account, and Pieosync's LinkedIn page have gone *poof* LinkedIn 404. This is LITERALLY why Not Another Dime exists, to document this stuff because somebody likes to try and delete his online past in an attempt to push a new narrative. Maybe this is a ghost in the machine, maybe it is a temporary issue, but it is interesting to note less than 24 hours after our last post and while coming up with this post that the online presence controlled by Mr. Whitman goes missing....
 
Presented as a crappy bit of what was just lost:
Missing LinkIn story

Additional Edit:
<slow golf clap> Today's poster was just blocked......evidently Kenny figured out who one of our editors/writers was, which really wasn't that hard since his name was literally online as one of the contributors. </slow golf clap>

Please, if you have info to share, feel free to send us an email (but not you Kenny!):

  1. 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."
