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.

Kenny is Triple Dipping on AI Content and Upsetting a Few Folks

Kenny is Triple Dipping on AI Content and Upsetting a Few Folks
By the looks of it we have Kenny Triple-Dipping on AI generated content. We've just went over the Most Influential Tabletop Game Icons Facebook page and the Most Influential Game Designers Of All Time YouTube channel and I think we've logically proved that Kenny is the idiot mastermind behind both of them:

Spelling it out: The pre-publicity for the YouTube channel puts that as his, and then the Facebook page pre-publishing the YouTube graphics a month early pushes that ownership forward.

Now evidently there is another outlet for this AI content: www.4pillargames.com

There could be someone else, in addition to Kenny, behind this site, but the heavy (I mean HEAVY) overlap of content/graphics pretty much nails it down as Kenny's work. Taking a look at the domain.....looks just like his other websites (WhoIs info):

Familiar Domain Info

Seriously...what are the odds of every website we have looked at recently in regards to Ken "Whit" Whitman are hosted by the exact same Registrar and Registrar Contact?!

It might take some time to figure out who actually owns the site, but right now fingers point to Kenny, and some people are not happy about it.

Facebook post about Four Pillars Gaming

For those of you who have been following, or been caught up in/affected by, the Four Pillars uproar regarding the game designer biographies and company histories that have been generated by AI with not entirely accurate results, plus the responses that some designers have received back from the site that have been less than polite.

Many of the posts have also appeared, although often with slightly different wording on the Facebook group “Most Influential Tabletop Game Icons”, which is run by Ken “Whit” Whitman - who has a rather controversial background in his own right.

Metadata from the Four Pillars site show Ken Whitman also authored the content there.

The only names publicly linked with running the site were of industry veterans Don Perrin, Tony Lee and Reece Wardrip. 

Tony and Don have both resigned from Four Pillars as it was not what they had planned for the site, expected, or had the chance to approve. It seems they have both been taken by surprise at the affair and it is probably safe to say that Reece is in the same situation.

It’s safe to say they sound pretty appalled about the situation and have no idea how anyone could think of getting away with doing it. 

I’m sorry to have seen them get tied up in this, but glad they’ve taken immediate steps to remove themselves from the situation.

Mr. Abranson isn't the only one...
