Nor do I see any major production company being interested. The friend that dragged me to it was involved in the Kickstarter and was supremely disappointed.

And how I spent 15k on hiring employees and infastructure to do KODT audio books only for you to say no after I told you I would not work with your wife after she cursed at me.<br /><br />That's about 9 months before the release date of KODT, the month you started attacking me on line. AND orginizing groups.<br /><br />Basically shutting down all revenue for d20 to continental work.<br /><br />You sir are the mastermind behind d20 going under, so why has Kenzerco not taken Ken Whitman to court.<br /><br />Because the ugly truth will come out publicly and they don't want Jolly to look like the behind the sceans backstabbing asshole he is.<br /><br />Ta-da.<br /><br />Oh wait, jolly so cute and cuddly and awesome. Yeah right! Wait till his God fearing wife calls you a mother fucker.Tim Sniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390608104314125626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602167808094222357.post-36796898425336312602016-01-18T23:43:16.702-06:002016-01-18T23:43:16.702-06:00I believe that Marc Miller owns Traveller and lice...I believe that Marc Miller owns Traveller and licenses it out to other publishers/creators.

It's like he is simultaneously trying to play down that he stole everything and botched the production WHILE AT THE SAME TIME claiming to be successful in both the RPG and acting communities. He keeps houses in several states after all! <br /><br />Not a hint of humility or regret.

What they are getting is 1 minute of footage from Eve Online and Firefly? Additional promises were Resin Ships, most of which were not sent or sent damaged. Ken's defense of all this was it was not his "intent" to screw it all up so badly on SIX Kickstarters. And yet, he has stated outright that he funneled other money, specifically Pencil Dice, right into unrelated projects. To sum it all up? It took 6 failed Kickstarters to get everyone some broken ship casts and 1 minute of footage from Firefly and Eve spliced together.

It is also foolish to think that a mere 2 minutes of footage with no original work (everything borrowed from other artists) will be attractive to anyone. To top it off, Whitman is once again dragging Far Future Enterprises into this mess of his.Taya Brownstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12511705062402901044noreply@blogger.com
