2026.05.19 Looks Like Kenny is not Just Making the Kool-Aid, but Drinking it Too!

We've already seen Kenny doubling tripling down with his AI generated slop...and we're calling it like we see it here, it is basically low-hanging fruit that Kenny has done minimal effort to sell/plaster in multiple places online. There has been a fair amount of negative reaction to the Facebook Group & YouTube Channel, and it's only a matter of time before that spills over to the various non-social-media websites getting feed these posts & videos.

It seems like Kenny hasn't quite understood the reasoning behind these negative reactions and he's decided to simplify everything to something along the lines of "people just don't like AI". While there may be some small amount of truth to this, the majority of the problem as I've seen it, runs more along the lines of, "People don't like the way you (Ken "Whit" Whitman) have used AI". Anyone who has followed NAD, or Ken directly, for a while knows....for example, his ability to spell or use grammar worth a damn, is.....lacking. I think if Kenny just used AI to help organize, and properly spell, his own thoughts, there would be no complaints.

Case in point, this Facebook post from yesterday. We've added some placeholders for notes in red:

"The AI Fight in Tabletop Is Already Moving Underground

A loud part of the tabletop game community has drawn a hard line around AI.(1) Not a soft preference. Not “please disclose your tools.” A hard moral line. Use AI in a product and you risk being labeled, shamed, boycotted, review-bombed, or quietly excluded from rooms you used to be welcome in.

I understand why people are angry.(2) Artists and writers spent years building skill, style, and reputation. Then a new machine showed up, trained on the creative exhaust of the internet, and suddenly people were being told to compete with tools that may have learned from work they never agreed to provide. That is not a small thing. It is not silly. It is not just fear of change. But here is the part nobody wants to say out loud: AI is not going away.

This is not a fad. It is not NFTs. It is not a weird little corner of tech that can be mocked until it disappears. AI is a trillion-dollar industrial shift. Governments, defense contractors, banks, studios, universities, publishers, retailers, and every major platform on earth are already building around it. There may be lawsuits. There may be settlements. Some artists may win checks. Maybe the courts force new licensing structures. Maybe new rules come. They probably should. But history suggests the machine will not be put back in the box.

That does not mean the ethics are simple.(3) They are not. It does not mean creators were treated fairly. Many were not. The ugly pattern of every major industrial shift is familiar: the rich get richer, the platforms rewrite the rules, the lawyers get paid, and the people who made the culture are told to adapt after the money has already moved. But AI has one strange difference from most industrial shifts: the small creator can use it too.

A solo designer can now do work that used to require a team. A tiny publisher can prototype faster, edit faster, format faster, and test ideas faster. A filmmaker with no studio can build pitch materials. A game designer with no art budget can mock up a world. That matters more than the current conversation allows.(4)

The real damage right now is not only the tool. It is the silence forming around the tool. Fear is teaching people to hide their AI use instead of teaching them to use it well. The industry does not get cleaner because of that silence. It gets less honest. People still use the tools, but they stop talking about them. They remove the fingerprints.(5) They learn which words not to say. They get better at passing as pure while quietly building faster than the people trying to shame them. That is not an ethical victory. That is a transparency failure.

The better fight is not AI or no AI. That battle is already too blunt. The better fight is where AI belongs. Using AI to clean a spreadsheet is not the same moral event as using it to counterfeit an artist’s style. Using it to organize production notes is not the same thing as replacing credited creative labor without consent. Using it to test rules, summarize feedback, or manage workflow is not the same fight as flooding a marketplace with low-effort sludge.

Allow it for production support. Ban it where it exploits living creators. Require disclosure where it matters.(6) Protect artists from style theft. Protect writers from being erased. A union could fight for that. A fan community could fight for that. A company could build policy around that. But “no AI anywhere” is not a long-term strategy. It is a protest slogan, and protest slogans do not survive contact with economics forever.

The builders who embrace, learn, and adapt will outpace the people who only resist. Not overnight, and not in every category. But over the next 24 months, the gap will become visible. The AI-assisted creator will produce more drafts, test more products, make more mistakes, learn faster, and ship more often.(7) By the time the anti-AI crowd pivots from rejection to reluctant adoption, many of them will be starting from behind. That is not a moral judgment. It is a calendar problem.

The tabletop industry needs to get honest.(8) Not softer. Honest. AI is here. It will be misused. It will be overused. It will create slop and threaten real livelihoods. It will also open doors for small creators who never had access to the old production machine. Both things are true.

The question is not whether AI should exist in tabletop. It already does. The question is whether the industry can grow up fast enough to separate the fights worth having from the fights already lost."

This writer was able to actually read this post and I didn't see any spelling errors, which is a pretty strong tell that AI was used to produce this. How much is actually Kenny's words...who knows, but I have yet to hear a single person comment on any of these posts as far as readability goes, and I know enough people that have far worse opinions of the man than I do!

(1) "Community"......the tabletop gaming community extends much further than the creatives producing TTRPG content! Community also extends to the people consuming said content. If the people making and the people consuming don't want something......

(2) No....no I don't think you do, which is literally the point of this post. People are angry at how YOU have been using AI & how you've largely (until recently) been hiding behind it. 

(3) There's like 11 years of posts here at Not Another Dime (for Ken Whitman) that would indicate that you're one of the last people that should be talking about ethics in any way, shape, or form.

(4) Every....single....example you used in this paragraph was about AI being used to assist creatives to generate content, not to use AI to create content for them!

(5) This is arguably the biggest reason people are pissed at you! At you, not AI! You using AI to create content and hiding the fact that you're behind the effort to begin with! Someone even invented a term for this: Whitwashing! You've only recently even acknowledged this content belongs to you, and I'd argue you've only done so because you got sloppy with your code and announcing content of your personal Facebook page well before it was actually posted publicly.

(6) Yet again, why people didn't like your work....because you Whitwashed it for so long. 

(7) Hands-off content creation at rather quick speed seems to be your priority, which has led to so many problems...

(8) Maybe, but the issue at hand is that you've not been honest and now you're putting yourself "out there" and it feels more like damage control because you got caught.

"here’s the deal, if you have millions like WOTC pay people. But don’t scold up-and-coming people who are trying to figure out how to make a living. Or just don’t have time because other things are more important.

AI shaming should not be tolerated"

Ken, you're not being scolded for "trying to figure out how to make a living", and the sooner you figure this out, the sooner you can try to not make a quick & easy buck off of the gaming community. I think the argument for people "scolding you" is because of how you've been using AI to generate a bunch of sloppy content that is getting posted all over the place, with the clear effort being on quantity over quality.

We've already pointed out the sloppy "Loe Zachhii" video posted not even a week after the man's death, and while you have since taken the video down (well after we pointed it out!) and we've gotten word that you have made some article corrections, we cannot believe you've actually taken time to do much, if any, quality control....much less actual fact checking.

Case in point: A Most Influential Tabletop Game Icons's post(s) today:

Today, on more than one occasion, you've multi-posted the same exact post. This one on Alessio Cavatore you did three times (1st, 2nd, and 3rd), but the one on Alfred Mosher Butts was double-posted (1st & 2nd), as was Frank Mentzer (1st & 2nd).

If you cannot manage to only make a single Facebook post, how can we expect you to fact-check all seven posts you made today (or should we say 11?) over at Most Influential Tabletop Game Icons?

2026.05.10 Whit Whitman's Need for Self Promotion Shouldn't be Surprising, but There it is!

Kenny's insatiable need for self promotion knows no bounds. One of his Facebook pages (Most Influential Tabletop Game Icons) is heavy AI-laden prose about some of the people behind the RPG industry and of course he had to make a post for himself.

I'm thinking Mr. Whitman may try to deny his involvement with that page but his recent posts are commenting on multiple entries (sometimes more than one a day) and that page follows his page....literally one of only a few (14 as of this post) they do follow:

There's also the striking similarity between this Facebook page and the YouTube channel we mentioned recently Sure that might not be enough, but wait...there's more!

See The Facebook page posted these two pictures on March 14th:

Hmm.....you know what didn't exist on March 14th, 2026? The YouTube channel the pictures are for!

Last we checked, April 13, 2026 comes after March 14th, 2026. It seems that Kenny not only has problems with spelling (Loe Zocchii....really?), but with dates/calendars as well!

Wow.....just....wow!

Shout out to Isaac who commented on the Facebook page, which is why I took a quick look at it.

THE ENTREPRENEUR WHO ROLLED THE DICE FIRST

Ken "Whit" Whitman did not build his tabletop career like a man protecting one perfect system.

He built it like a man looking for the next door.

Role-playing games. Licensed card games. Magazines. Art books. Print services. Film projects. Companies that appeared, moved fast, changed shape, and gave way to the next thing. Whitman spent a quarter century in and around tabletop publishing, but the throughline was never one rules engine or one famous line.

The throughline was launch energy.

He saw openings early. Sometimes too early. A comic license could become a game table. Fantasy art could become a collector book. Dice could become more than randomizers. Production, printing, and distribution were not just machinery after the design was done. They were part of the creative act.

That instinct took him everywhere.

It also made his career difficult to summarize cleanly.

THE KENTUCKY LAUNCH

Whitman was born in 1967 at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and grew up in Brandenburg. Before the game companies, before the film work, before the long list of ventures, he was a young graphic designer trying to get a post-apocalyptic RPG into the world.

That game was Mutazoids, published through Whit Productions in 1989.

Mutazoids was not a quiet debut. It leaned into mutation, survival, ruined-world danger, and moral chaos. The world felt unstable by design. Rick Swan, reviewing the game in The Complete Guide to Role-Playing Games, recognized that energy and praised the game as an impressively chaotic RPG environment.

That is a useful phrase because it catches both sides of the early work.

The game had heat.

Whitman followed it with a City Sourcebook in 1992 and a revised second edition the same year. That matters. A first edition can be raw enthusiasm. A second edition means the designer went back in, looked at the machine, and tried to make it stronger. Mutazoids was not a one-page idea tossed into the market. It was a world he returned to, expanded, and reworked.

For a few years, that could have been the path.

Then the path split.

THE LICENSE INSTINCT

Whitman kept moving into licensed and creator-owned properties.

Whit Publications brought out Ralph Bakshi's Wizards and WWF: The Basic Adventure Game. Imperium Games, co-founded with Marc Miller, helped bring Traveller 4th Edition to print, with Whitman contributing system development and writing the psionics rules. Archangel Entertainment later published Groo: The Game, based on Sergio Aragones's comic character, along with other game material.

That mix says a lot about Whitman's eye.

He was interested in games, but he was also interested in properties. Worlds that already had an audience. Characters that already carried a tone. Artists and writers whose work could be turned into something playable, collectible, or sellable.

That instinct was not rare by the late 1990s, but Whitman got there early enough to make it part of his identity. He kept looking for bridges between fandoms: comics to card games, fantasy art to collector books, role-playing settings to revived product lines.

Sometimes he was the designer.

Sometimes he was the developer.

Often, he was the person trying to make the project exist at all.

THE DICE NOBODY NOTICED

Groo: The Game is the design people should probably talk about more.

On the surface, it was a licensed card game built around a beloved comic idiot with a sword. Sergio Aragones brought the character and the world. Whitman brought a mechanism that reached beyond the license.

Players rolled custom dice each turn, and those dice did not simply decide success or failure. They became resources: labor, grain, gold. Players spent those results to play building cards and move toward victory. Unused resources could pass to opponents, creating pressure around timing, waste, and denial.

That sounds familiar now because modern tabletop games use dice that way all the time.

In 1997, it was not familiar.

Most dice in hobby games still acted like judges. They answered questions. Did you hit? How much damage? How far did you move? Did the thief open the lock?

Groo treated dice as an economy.

The roll did not only resolve the turn. It created the turn.

That was a real design idea. Gary Gygax reportedly praised the game. Steve Jackson Games later brought it back into print. Some designers noticed the shared-dice and resource tension in it. But the larger dice-placement and roll-and-write wave arrived years later without making Groo the standard origin story.

That is the strange part.

Whitman had put a useful idea on the table before the table was ready to call it important.

THE MAGAZINE AND THE MACHINE

If Groo shows Whitman as a designer, Games Unplugged shows him as an industry builder.

The magazine ran for thirty-four issues through Dynasty Presentations. It belonged to a period when tabletop coverage still depended heavily on print: ads, reviews, interviews, product news, retailer attention, and the strange glue that held a hobby together before social media swallowed most of that function.

Running a magazine is not like designing a card game. The work is rhythm. Deadlines. Layout. Distribution. Ad sales. Editorial judgment. The next issue is always arriving too soon. The previous issue is already old.

Whitman lived in that kind of pressure.

He also helped publish lines and products where the design credit belonged to other people. Dark Conspiracy 2nd Edition is the cleanest example. Lester W. Smith designed the system, but Whitman's Dynasty Presentations helped keep the line in motion through player books, referee material, screens, and adventures.

That distinction matters.

Publishing is not the same as rules design, but tabletop games do not reach players on rules alone. They need art, printing, shipping, money, schedules, licenses, and somebody willing to push the whole thing from manuscript to object.

Whitman often worked in that zone.

Not the clean white space of theory.

The messy room where products become real.

THE ART BOOK YEARS

After the game-company stretch, Whitman spent years connected to fantasy art production, especially through Larry Elmore's company.

That chapter fits the larger pattern. Elmore already had the audience. The paintings already mattered. Whitman's role was to help turn that body of work into products fans could own: art books, collector pieces, and campaigns that treated fantasy illustration as the main event rather than decoration around a game.

That was not a small shift.

Tabletop publishing has always depended on artists, but the industry has not always treated art as the thing being sold. Whitman understood that for many fans, the image was the memory. A dragon on a box. A fighter in a cave. A character on a calendar. The art was not secondary to the game experience. It was often the first emotional contact.

That understanding connects Whitman to the larger fantasy-gaming ecosystem even when he was not writing rules.

He knew how to package desire.

That sounds crass until you remember that publishing is partly the art of recognizing what people already love and giving it a physical form.

THE COST OF MOVING FAST

The same pattern that made Whitman's career interesting also made it unstable.

Whit Productions. Whit Publications. Imperium Games. Archangel Entertainment. Dynasty Presentations. Rapid POD. Sidekick Printing. D20 Entertainment. Other ventures around film and production.

Again and again, he launched.

Some designers spend decades refining one game. Some publishers build one company and hold the line. Whitman moved differently. He saw an opening, built toward it, and then moved toward the next opening.

That gave his career unusual range. It also left less depth than the strongest design careers in this series. Mutazoids had a real second pass. Groo had a genuinely clever mechanical idea. Traveller, Dark Conspiracy, SnarfQuest, Games Unplugged, and the Elmore projects all show industry range. But there is no single Whitman system that became a long-lived design school. No one game became the center of the career.

Later, the D20 Entertainment Kickstarter period damaged his public standing. Projects like Deck Dice, Pencil Dice, Knights of the Dinner Table, and Traveller became controversial after fulfillment problems. For many tabletop fans, that is the last chapter they remember.

It has to be said plainly.

It is also not the only chapter.

WHAT HE ACTUALLY BUILT

Ken Whitman did not invent licensed tabletop gaming. He did not create the roll-and-write movement. He did not build a single rules engine that other designers spent decades extending.

That is the honest boundary.

What he built was a career of production and launch.

He built Mutazoids, then went back and revised it. He built Groo around a dice-as-resources idea before that language became common. He helped develop Traveller 4th Edition material. He published licensed games and revived lines. He kept Dark Conspiracy products moving. He ran a nationally distributed tabletop magazine. He helped turn fantasy art into collector products. He built print and production services around the needs of small publishers and creators.

The pattern is not refinement.

The pattern is ignition.

Whitman saw a thing and wanted to get it moving. A game. A license. A magazine. An art book. A film. A company. The excitement was always in the start, in the first push that turns an idea into an object other people can touch.

That instinct can create real work.

It can also outrun the follow-through.

Both are part of the story.

WHERE TO FIND HIM

Whitman is not currently a public tabletop-game publisher in the way he was during the Mutazoids, Groo, Games Unplugged, or D20 Entertainment years.

His public work now appears mostly under the name Whit Whitman, in independent film and film education. Current public profiles connect him to Little Monsters Entertainment and the School of Cinematic Arts in Kentucky. Recent film credits include Unnatural, a horror Western released in 2024, along with other micro-budget film projects listed under his Whit Whitman profile.

That move is less surprising than it looks.

Film is another launch machine. Scripts. Crews. Locations. Cameras. Posters. Distribution. A film set is a temporary company built around a story, held together just long enough to make the thing real.

Whitman has been doing versions of that for most of his life.

Tabletop was the first arena. Mutazoids was the first door. Groo was the dice roll people should have watched more closely. Games Unplugged was the magazine rack. The art books were the collector shelf. The film work is the latest version of the same impulse. You can currently purchase Groo the Game from Steve Jackson Games.

See the opening. Build the project.

Then roll the dice.

2026.02.11 Whit Whitman Posting over at Facebook

We got an email today through the blog:

Ken is posting regularly on FB under Whit Whitman ( https://www.facebook.com/whit.whitman.2025 ) A regualr series of "Tales from a TSR Alumni: White Wolf Gen Con Parties Were WILD! by Ken "Whit" Whitman"

Good luck, and thanks for your great work!

Regards,

[REDACTED]

Note: This email was sent via the Contact Form gadget on 

https://notanotherdime.blogspot.com

Now we do go in an periodically review our raison d'être on Facebook, so we fired up the old sparkbox and surfed the interwebs for any new news.

For the most part, not a surprise. A ton of self-promotion, as usual, and mostly stories hyping up Ken's time at TSR. You'd think he was there for decades with all of this "insider knowledge" he has. Really comes off of as an attempt to inflate his self-importance and connection to the various creatives from TSR's heyday. It really felt like a big page of ads in an attempt to legitimize his Legends of TSR endeavor.  

While we just skimmed for the most part we did read a good bit of a particular post. We don't want to put the entire body of the text here, but highlight a few key parts. The emphasis is ours and we cut out content to highlight some key segments, but otherwise did no editing to change context or order:

Tales from a TSR Alumni: I'm the BAD GUY in many people's stories by Ken "Whit" Whitman

Not because I meant to be. Because unmedicated ADHD is a wrecking ball with a smiley face painted on it. People want to believe in you. You're charming. You're full of ideas. You talk a great game. And then something falls apart, and they feel stupid for trusting you. That guilt turns into anger, and that anger turns you into the villain. Not because you were malicious. Because the wreckage showed up and you were the one holding the keys. That's a particular kind of shame. The kind where you know you didn't mean it, and you also know that doesn't matter. 

Today I'm ten years medicated. About a sixth of my life. The other five-sixths? Severe ADHD. Didn't know it.

<edit>

That confidence cost me. I had Kickstarters that failed. Not because I couldn't do the work. Because I couldn't manage the load. There's a difference, and nobody cares about the difference when they're waiting for something you promised.

Then Larry Elmore changed my life.

<edit>

For about ten years I worked hand-in-hand with him. We created his Kickstarter for "The Complete Elmore." Raised $300,000. We were supposed to get that book out in six months. Took closer to a year.

<edit>

He got so frustrated he looked me dead in the face and said: 

"You're going to go get medicated for ADHD, or I'm going to fire you."

<edit>

Getting medicated doesn't mean you take a pill and things start working. It took me about eighteen months before my brain settled into what I'd consider a safe path. Eighteen months of adjustment. Of figuring out what focus actually felt like after fifty-something years of never having it.

<edit>

I'm happy to be TEN YEARS medicated.

ADHD is a hell of a thing! 

XOXOX - Whit

Now we do not expect every, well really ANY reader, to pick up on we noticed right off the bat....the timing. According to this post, Ken has been medicated for the last decade, presumably since 2016, and now he's good. 

We call bullshit. Not that Ken's on medication and that Whit has a decade of being properly medicated behind him, but the general story he's trying to portray in this post, and to a larger extent, all the other posts on this page.

According to the layout of this post, Ken was not taking meds and therefor in the throes of unmedicated ADHD, resulting in an overconfidence that is the reason he "had Kickstarters that failed". Then Larry Elmore changed his life, working with him to get out another Kickstarter for the Complete Elmore. It was that process that led to the exchange where Larry told him "You're going to go get medicated for ADHD, or I'm going to fire you." Now, 10 years later, Ken is happy "figuring out what focus actually felt like after fifty-something years of never having it."

Complete and utter bullshit.

1st off, Kenny was born in 1967, according to a later post on this Facebook page. This makes him either 58 or 59 depending on when his birthday is. Starting ADHD meds 10 years ago would mean he was 48 or 49 when he started, which makes "fifty-something years of never having it." contradictory.

Now sure....maybe he's just rounding it up to 50 and now he's rounding up to 60....that's 10 years close enough.

Nope...still calling bullshit.

We cannot fixate on the specific start date of that collaboration with Larry Elmore, but the Kickstarter shows a projected fulfillment date of "August 2013" and if they thought they would "get that book out in six months" then we can assume that the Kickstarter was set to end in February of 2013.

The failed Kickstarters were before this collaboration, remember.....

....but they weren't.

We picked up this blog in response to the Knights of the Dinner Table: Live Action Series Kickstarter, arguably the 1st "failed" Kickstarter in the chain of failure that drew attention to Ken "Whit" Whitman, conveniently also a decade ago. KoDT: LAS had it's funding period December 8, 2013 to February 4, 2014.

Last I checked, these dates occur AFTER February-August 2013.

Aside: Ken logged in to Kickstarter yesterday, but no update!

So again, calling bullshit.

Well, maybe the whole before or after is just Kenny being confused. He was working on that project, got the advice, and then started medication, which is the crux of the post.

Nope... still bullshit. First of all, according to the timeline Kenny posted, the Elmore book took closer to a year to finish, which means he was working on that while he was soliciting for KoDT: LAS funding. If we take the timeline at face value and he started ADHD medication in the summer of 2013, AND it took him "Eighteen months of adjustment" then we could presume he's "adjusted" around the start of 2015.   

Our 1st post here was in August of 2015.....a full eight (8!) months into the year were he's "adjusted", according to his own words! Just read pretty much any post with a date of 2015 in the title.

So we currently have Kenny starting ADHD meds during fulfillment of The Complete Elmore, which was Summer/Fall of 2013. This was AFTER the failed Kickstarters, according to Kenny. We know these Kickstarters were AFTER The Complete Elmore, not before.....

......but really, is all this enough to call bullshit?

Not by itself, but we've been posting for 10 and a half years now and we remember.....again, emphasis is ours:

"The fact Ken pulled together Brothers Barbarian season 1 and 2 largely on his own (writing the scriipt, assembling the talent, finding the camera, crews etc) was damn impressive. True he ultimately never delivered BB2 but I was there when it was being shot in KY and to my eye it looked like a professionally run operation. They knocked that a thing out over a four day period and the logistics of doing that was made an impression. That coupled with Ken's apologies and talk of being on new meds for his ADHD and having turned over a new leaf... Hell, I believe in second chances. So when he came to us with a KODTLAS proof of concept teaser in his hand (all paid for, cast and shot by him from what I understood) it seemed ike a no brainer. Especially when he presented a short list of names of people who were going to be working with him. AND including a 'money guy' who was to monitor all the money."

This commentary from Jolly Blackburn was regarding a site visit he and Barbara Blackburn made to the set of filming for Brothers Barbarian Season 2 Episode 2....in September 2012. That episode was shown as airing simply in "2012". Pretty sure that if it aired in 2012, after Season 2 Episode 1, that it was filmed sometime before December 31, 2012.

Hmmm.......last time we checked 2012 is most definitely before 2013! None of Kenny's proposed timeline works out with reality and even IF we dismiss the timing and accept that he's been "adjusted" since 2016 (according to his post), we literally have a decades' worth of documentation that seems to indicate that Ken "Whit" Whitman has been anything but "adjusted" these last 10 years.

What seems more likely, that our main man is on the "up and up" since getting his meds right in 2015 (our math with his series of events) or 2016 (his math), or that he's been a scamming people since at least 2015 and this is just another attempt to show that he's turned a new leaf and someone you can hire to access VIPs for your convention? We literally just showed documentation of him claiming "improvement due to ADHD meds" (paraphrasing).

By all means, browse Not Another Dime, follow the links that still work, and make up your own mind....  

2026.04.23 EDIT

In the "About the Author" section of his "book" The Whitman Method: Becoming a Great Game Master in the Face of Chaos, Kenny states he was "Diagnosed with ADHD in his forties". This strengthens one argument, and weakens another....

2026.01.21 Ken "Whit" Whitman Is Sending Pseudo-Legalese Letters in a (Failed) Attempt at Damage Control

 

Today we "received" a bit of a one-two dump of info regarding Ken "Whit" Whitman trying to send some Googled-up legalish documents to some vloggers in an attempt to get them to shut up about his current antics. Ok, that is probably how we're reading the situation (ie. an opinion), but he did have some demands. It's better to just show you:

"To Eric Tankard,

This letter serves as a formal request for correction or retraction of materially false statements of fact made by you in the following YouTube video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tb760sCdLc
“Tuesday Afternoon Livestream! 1 PM ET” (published on or about January [insert date], 2026)

This notice is provided in good faith and affords you ten (10) days to correct the record.

Statements Requiring Correction or Retraction

In the above-referenced video, you repeat, endorse, or materially amplify false statements of fact about me, including but not limited to:

1. Assertions or implications that I am engaged in scams, fraud, or deceptive business practices, presented as factual conclusions rather than clearly identified opinion.

2. Repetition or endorsement of unverified third-party allegations concerning my past conduct, crowdfunding activity, or professional history, presented as established fact without independent verification.

3. Statements implying criminal, unethical, or unlawful conduct, where no charges, findings, or adjudications exist to support such claims.

These statements are not framed as opinion, parody, or rhetorical commentary. They are presented in a factual manner, attributed to me, and are materially misleading or false.

Request

Accordingly, I request that within ten (10) days of receipt of this notice you:

• Issue a clear correction or retraction of the above statements, and

• Refrain from further publication or repetition of these specific false factual claims.

This request does not challenge your right to express opinion or criticism. It is limited solely to factual accuracy, attribution, and the avoidance of false statements of fact.

Reservation of Rights

Nothing in this correspondence constitutes a waiver of any rights or remedies. Continued publication or repetition of false statements of fact after notice may be treated as evidence of knowing or reckless disregard for the truth.

I would prefer correction over escalation and trust this can be resolved promptly.

Sincerely,

Ken "Whit" Whitman"

Erik Tankard...really? Hey Kenny....next time you download a form letter, actually my assumption this was an AI generated letter because there are not nearly enough typos (outside of "Tankard"), I don't know.....maybe insert the actual fricken date? It's not that hard....it was literally yesterday. Just look at today's date in a calendar/phone/smart watch and....I don't know...subtract one day and use that!

Erik wasn't the only one to get such a letter. Don over at The Vlog of Many Things got one that he then ran through his lawyer, made a few phone calls, and then responded to. Good stuff....no seriously, highly recommended watching. Don goes point-by-point and is quite upfront about being wrong about a specific dollar figure, which is fair, BUT I doubt even Ken knows how much money he scammed out of people, between the Kickstarters, the KoDT 20 Years of Covers Books, all the KenzerCo merch he sold, etc. He's already on record acknowledging around $180K+ and we've got receipts here for the fact that rest exists.....so don't bother sending NAD a letter.

It's been a while since we've checked in on Ken "Whit" Whitman's Wikipedia page and we got word that Kenny's been editing his page to (presumably) make himself look better.

We poked around a bit and there has been a couple recent edits, but not by Ken.

More than likely he formed the page himself, which is why there is a notice on the page: A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page. (August 2025)

Now we do have a wikipedia editor on staff, but we specifically asked that she doesn't update there and here because we consider that a conflict of interest. That being said, there's clearly a LOT missing from that page:

1: The sheer number of "companies" not listed. too many for this post, but we have been keeping track on our pseudonym page.

2. Ken Whitman Games is missing, with it's two Kickstarters, including the infamous Dice O'Matic. It is important to note that a LOT of people didn't get their product or all of their product (for those that were allegedly fulfilled).

Bonus Information:

Kenny logged into this account last week!

3. This entry is misleading: "Whitman later began doing business in late 2013 as D20 Entertainment on Kickstarter.[7] Whitman created and funded six projects on Kickstarter between December 8, 2013, and April 7, 2015, for three short movies and three gaming accessories.[citation needed]"

• While he was doing business as d20 Entertainment (not D20 Entertainment), he never incorporated the name and it is literally just a pseudonym. We documented, with links, here. The post, and links, are a secondary source, but there was a link to a primary source from the Tenlar's Tavern post.
• Whitman created at least seven projects (don't forget the Dice O'Matic!) and while we cannot prove it directly, the "creator" of the Cthulhu Dice Tower references d20 Entertainment and the reported resin problems are consistent with those reported for the disastrous Traveller minis, which we've reported on a few times in the past: "The Cthulhu Dice Tow Kickstarter is now over but you can find more information about it at http://fredfieldsart.com OR http://d20entertainment.com/cthulhu-dice-tower/" that makes our count at 8, that we know of!
• 
  
  
  
  
• If we take the date back 5 months we can add Knight's Quest Family Card Game for a total of 9 Kickstarters!
• The entry itself is misleading as it appears there were 6 successful Kickstarter campaigns, when in reality Ken "Whit" Whitman is batting 0-9. No Kickstarter project was delivered as promised, or even close. The closest was KoDT: LAS having video produced by an unrelated 3rd party. That doesn't count.
• Btw...here is a primary source: "My name is Ken Whitman and I am a bad businessman when it comes to figuring out how much money I need to create a Kickstarter. I started 6 Kickstarter, and have only managed to officially finish one to date. I am still working to finish them. Thank you for your patience." It's a lie (since he didn't actually fulfill one, unless you count the not-as-ordered Castles & Crusades Video)
• 
  
  
  
  

Again, we will not be updating the Wikipedia page, for reasons, but if we have a Wikipedia editor unrelated to us that wants to take on this task, feel free to hit us up for links to primary sources where available. Don't leave us comments here, instead send off an email:

2024.12.08 Ken "Whit" Whitman Has an Advertising "News" Article Published

We've called it already that our man Kenny (Ken "Whit" Whitman) is trying to form a "school" to milk somebody, presumably children and the Commonwealth of Kentucky, out of their money. Sure, it's speculation, but the more we see, the more the speculation makes sense.....

Take this "interview" from Wave 3 News:

It is the latest project for Fort Knox native Whit Whitman’s production company, Little Monsters Entertainment, Inc.

It’s about “a bunch of homeless people who find [the] body of the richest man in Danville and so they dress up and go live in his mansion for Christmas Eve. Interesting part is, the guy wasn’t dead.”

Whitman started writing movie scripts 11 years ago. Since then, he has produced eight movies, three of them in Danville.

But what’s a reason to shoot movies in Kentucky?

Well, Whitman tells us the state has tax incentive laws, which help him fund his movies.

“When movies come here, our government actually helps them with whatever money they put into the state of Kentucky,” Whitman says.

He says it’s usually for smaller budget movies up to $1.5 million.

Whitman’s real spark for his passion comes from teaching others.

A lot of the crew members and actors in his movies are local students looking to dip their toes into the film industry.

Whitman tells us he almost gave up on storytelling three years ago, but mentoring is what changed his mind.

“I thought I was getting out of it and then these kids said no will you teach us about this? And so the universe gave storytelling back to me.”

Whitman says he wants to open up a technical school to teach young adults to write, produce, edit and act.

“I would like to take it out of Hollywood’s hands and make a blue collar, small, version that anyone could do. And that’s just gonna require someone like me to teach young kids a system that doesn’t cost a lot of money,” Whitman says.

He tells us another movie is coming up in January and several others are in the works.

“Home-less for the Holidays” is now streaming on Amazon Prime, the Roku Channel, and will be available on Tubi December 12.

Anyone interested in learning more about becoming involved with Little Monsters Entertainment can find their website here.

Wow, a lot to unpack here. 1st this is so not an interview. There is literally only one question asked, "But what’s a reason to shoot movies in Kentucky?" This is a promotional piece for Kenny's "school"....oh, but it actually isn't! "Little Monsters Entertainment, Inc." is listed at the beginning of the piece. 

Hmm......Little Monsters? That's not the name of Kenny's company....it was Little Monster (no "s")....what's up with that I wonder?

Oh for fuck's sake! Kenny has a new company! There is a new company that has a rather interesting incorporation date....the same day as the "interview"!

We wonder if this company was created to take advantage of the typo as the one company he has that is actually still active was "Little Monster Entertainment Inc." While there is this alleged school, no direct mention is made of it. The end of the article has a link to the Little Monster website, but NOT to the home page. No....instead it links to his "Actors Retreats" webpage.

This basically make the whole article an ad for the current film and for Kenny's Actor Retreats.

This article is also a bit misleading, because it's mostly Ken's words. The guidelines for those Kentucky Tax incentives are interesting. 1st of, it's not for films "up to $1.5 million" like Whit Whitman says, but it's for films production companies doing a minimum of $10M a year and $1.5M per production! Also the company needs to have 50% of that funding "available" and the "ability to raise the remaining funds necessary"

Now we can't speak for any prospective investors, but Kenny has already been proven to not be able to handle, what?......$186K in Kickstarter funds? Who TF thinks that having $5M on-hand is a good thing for Ken "Whit" Whitman? Not anyone here at NAD. Makes me think that his repeated mantra of "only" paying himself $18K a year is out there for multiple reasons....

If it Walks Like a Duck and Quacks Like a Duck....HIGHLY Potential Ken "Whit" Whitman Fuckery

You've probably heard the saying, "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it just may be a duck." Has a few reputed sources and several variations, but when it comes to Ken "Whit" Whitman we're going to offer our own: If it looks like fuckery and feels like fuckery, it's safe to assume there's fuckery going on.

Now the smart question would be, "What is this potential fuckery you speak of?" To answer this question I would highly suggest you start at the beginning of this documentation blog, back when we were jaded and relatively unbiased, and start going through the posts. By the times you circle back around to today's post I would ask you to answer this simple yes or no question:

"Would you feel comfortable allowing Kenneth Whitman, AKA Ken Whitman, AKA Whit Whitman, to operate a non-profit organization working with "young adults" and soliciting donations?" 

Now while this is phrased as a simple yes/no question, the expected response is probably more along the lines, of "What now?" 

So we recently reported about Ken "Whit" Whitman's new company "Little Monster Entertainment, LLC". So this is probably on us, but we didn't actually check on Kenny's name with the Kentucky Secretary of State. If we had we would have found "Community Film Collaborative, Inc"....and that company is a non-profit. For the record he also has a new Dumpster Rental company....but that probably isn't relevant unless he rents the non-profit for expensive dumpster rentals....

So, according to the Community Film Collaborative, Inc website....which is really just a Square (sales collection) website. They do have a Facebook page though. On the site they list three "short films" that this non-profit "partnered" with Little Monster Entertainment. This three are listed as "The Proposal", "Meet the Girlfriend", and "Lucrative Relationship".

So, on the surface...seems kind of legit. Ol Kenny is helping "young adults" make some short clips, in this case about 6 minutes total. Nice, right?

Now if you look at the actual YouTube pages for those clips, you might notice that they are allegedly clips from three larger "in progress" short films: "Strange Places", "Gamerz Inn", and "Places & Power", respectively. Thing is that these films aren't listed on IMDB, on the Little Monster website, or so far anywhere else. Now remember Ken "Whit" Whitman has literally raised money for non-existent (well, at least non-published) films before. His current for-profit LLC's website is taking money from wannabe actors and he has a side business that's a non-profit helping create wannabe actors?

Oh yeah....the "non-profit" website only exists on a ecommerce site?! Nothing fishy there!

If you look at the Little Monster website, specifically the page promoting their "short films that help actors secure managers, agents and higher paying acting jobs across the world." .....you know, services they make money off of.....you'll find this picture from an alleged non-profit shoot.

Clearly this is from "The Proposal"....or was it "Strange Places"....

This whole thing doesn't feel right, pretty much on the surface, but when you factor in Kenny's past.....sounds like spin and, at best, an attempt to look legit. Better than fair chance this is an attempt to grow future customers or bury costs from one company in another.....that's our guess/opinion and we're stating that now. 

Do you remember our post from July? We're thinking his work then was in anticipation to this current set of companies....

Kickstarter, Please Say This Isn't So!

 

We're not sure which one of Ken "Whit" Whitman's Kickscammers, er Kickstarters this is from, but it was sent to us anonymously without comment.

Clearly we're not the only one who sees this Unmortal Kickstarter as one of Kenny's projects, which is pretty much common sense at this point with Whitman's fake company getting second billing in the Kickstarter trailer.

So Jerry Behrendt, whoever that is, evidently poked our main man, who responded with something that we really hope is an outright lie.

"Jerry, I have Never been banned from running kickstarters. I could start one in 3 days if I wanted. I don't because I want to finish up the others first. I would ask if you would please stop spreading non truths."

Seeing as how Kenny had....and we actually have to stop to count....six simultaneous Kickstarters and has yet to actually fulfill one. Knights of the Dinner Table: Live Action Series (KODT: LAS) doesn't count since Ken didn't actually make and send out the DVDs!

2018.10.29 It's the end of October, Anybody see any Pencils Yet?

It's been more than two months since Ken "Whit" Whitman announced "I am waiting on pencils coming from china, this will take 45 days. 10-15 to print the colors, and 25 days to ship." As of the timing of this post it's been 71 days since Kenny enlightened us with his updated (again) timeline.

So....45 days +10 to 15 gets us to 60, which means that Kenny should be in the middle of shipping out the pencils.

Ken "Whit" Whitman has repeatedly.....REPEATEDLY demonstrated his willingness to share, we'd say overshare, his efforts on social media. Since that August 20th update, across several Kickstarters, there have been no posts showing pictures of his shiny new pencils, no posts calling his disgruntled backers "losers", or really much anything of significance.

Now to be fair each of the Pencil Dice Kickstarters have one update each, but even then they don't share the update, which doesn't make much sense. Why would the RPG Pencil Dice backers get a "Moving Right Along" update (September 11th), but not the larger Pencil Dice backers? If the pencils arrived at the beginning of October, why would the Pencil Dice backers get informed (October 2nd), but no word sent out to the RPG Pencil Dice backers?

This really doesn't add up. Now if Ken "Whit" Whitman actually did get the pencils on October 2nd, he should be halfway through shipment......HALFWAY. The most recent comments from backers are from October 2nd (Pencil Dice) and 2 months ago (RPG Pencil Dice)....if shipping is halfway through somebody......ANYBODY should have received pencils by now....

.....and Kenny would be crowing about it for certain. At a minimum he should be posting some pics as promised "PS- I will send pictures when the pencils get here."

2018.08.20 Ken "Whit" Whitman Lashes out at Some Kickstarter Backers

A couple people have reached out to Not Another Dime (for Ken Whitman) today to let us know he made a Kickstarter update. The updates are limited to Deck Dice (It's been a Long time guys...), Pencil Dice (Look a Heat foil Machine), and RPG Pencil Dice (It's been a Long time guys...).

We haven't seen all three updates as were only sent one, so we have to assume (if we're wrong, please let us know dear readers) that this is pretty much a cut & paste single update (Editor's note: two updates) to the three Kickstarter projects. If you're looking for word on the three video Kickstarter projects, today is not your day....and likely 2018 is not your year.

Judging by the intro line, this is at least the update to the Pencil Dice Kickstarter. We have what we have to assume is the other update posted after this one. We've marked his text up appropriately (1) for our commentary at the end:

"Look a heat foil machine!

This is for the people who say things like...

"You're a lying sack of $h!&!"(1)

"You're(2) mom would be sad that you're still alive"

"There is NO WAY you have a heat foil machine!" (3)

(seriously all of the above had been said to me)

Interestingly, now they will just SPIN to some other form of hate. Seriously if all you have is negative words, STFU. I don't care.(4) And, BTW, your pencils ship last you assholes. (5)

For all the other backers who have been waiting a long time, I do apologize, you deserve.(6) I look forward to sending you a NICE FOIL Stamped pencil and not some cheap ripoff silkscreen version that will rub off in time from friction on the table.(7)

Cheers,
Ken Whitman

PS- I will send pictures when the pencils get here."


Ok..where do we begin, other than with (1)?

1) Ken Whitman's many lies have been documented quite frequently here on NAD. Telling Ken "Whit" Whitman that he is has been untruthful is just a statement of fact, which coincidentally, is the most appropriate legal defense when Ken "Whit" Whitman claims he had been "libled".

2) "Your" It isn't like you've been an author or editor in previous employment......

3) This most likely was a truthful statement most likely until today or maybe this weekend or we would have been subjected to this update long before now. Don't forget these three Kickstarter projects haven't received an update in over two years!

4) If you didn't care then why did you bother to spend half of this update going over the subject of your "haters"?

5) Great, another example of Ken "Whit" Whitman arbitrarily deciding when/if he will fulfill his obligations to a backer based off of arbitrary criteria.

6) Deserve what? Updated more than every few years? Product pledged for? To be treated with some measure of respect?

7) So basically you're saying that the pencils that haven't been made, stamped, or shipped will actually be stamped as promised as a basic tenet of the Kickstarter project? You already promised, "Our Pencil Die is heat foil stamped and NOT silk screened" on the Pencil Dice Kickstarter. We noticed that this description isn't on the RPG Pencil Dice page so can we assume you already looked into the cheaper option for that Kickstarter? The fact that you mention it in this update makes us believe you've at least considered that option.....

So let's look at the other update....

"It's been a Long time guys...

...and I am truly sorry for the wait.

As of August 20th, 2018 I do own an industrial heat foil machine.(8)

I am waiting on pencils coming from china, this will take 45 days. 10-15 to print the colors, and 25 days to ship.(9)

And I am producing a very special mold (one of a kind) that will allow me to make about 24 Pencils a minute. Should be here within 30 days.(10)

Please update your shipping address by September 31, 2018. With luck on my side, most of you will have your pencils before the new year!(11)"

8) So the people calling Ken "Whit" Whitman a liar about having a "industrial foil machine" before today were actually correct according to this update!

9) 15 days plus 25 days equals 40 days....Ken "Whit" Whitman cannot even keep his fictional math straight. Yes, we're calling this fictional based on his many timelines concerning KoDT:LAS.

10) Making a "special mold"? Making 24 pencils at a time sounds nice, but a) does the machine even work with that much product(?), which we will discuss in a moment, and b) has he done the math? Not likely

11) Does Kenny even realize there is no "September 31st"? By giving a specific, yet non-existent date he is most likely trying to give backers hope that they might see their pencils ship by that date....but he's also kicking the date can down the road by stating "most" will have pencils by the end of the year. This is reminiscent of the frequent updates/comments that "most" of the people who have purchased the KoDT: 20 Years of Covers books got theirs. "Most" have not gotten the hardcovers and nobody has seen a softcover yet. Also.....according to the man himself, he won't even be able to print/stamp pencils, at best, by the end of September.

Looking behind the scenes a bit it appear that Ken "Whit" Whitman has picked up one of these hot foil machines, which can also be seen at this Amazon listing. Here is a Chinese video of the machine (along with probably a preview of a Chinese film). After seeing this in action it is hard to believe he can stamp 24 pencils a minute...remember that these pencils are stamped not once, but six (6!) times each, which means he'd actually be making 144 stamps per minute, or one stamp (of 6!) on one pencil every .42 seconds. We're thinking the machine would have to be much larger to even have a shot at such a production schedule.

Speaking of production schedule, we've done the math and have determined that Ken "Whit" Whitman has to produce 87, 523 pencils in 76 different formats to fulfill his Kickstarter obligations. luckily the majority of the variations really boil down to colors available and have not been factored into our math. While researching the heat foil machine there are two big things that came up. 1st was that this machine cannot do pencils (from the Amazon link)....

Now the argument could be made that he doesn't have this machine, but it is unlikely he has a machine that appears identical to this machine, but has drastically different functionality. 2nd, is that this machine requires kind of pricey molds for the stamps which run $126 each from the Aliexpress site. You know how we counted 76 different pencil types? That's just the completed pencils.....since there are six sides to each pencil the number of stamps required number 145 and the rough cost could run up to $18,270 (145 separate faces * $126).


TL;DR
Based off of our research and basic math, Ken "Whit" Whitman needs a lot of production costs and even at a stagger rate of 24 pencils a minute, assuming no set-up, tool changes, boxing, cleaning up, ANYTHING OTHER THAN STAMPING, it will take our main man 3646 minutes to make the pencils. This isn't bad, just a hair over 60 hours, not even a single week! If we use some benchmarks already established by Ken "Whit" Whitman, with regards to his work schedule....carry the one....he should be done on the 12th of Never. Sorry, but we used the only benchmark we had, which was the KoDT:LAS footage which seems to have always been "about two weeks" away from being completed. We think that instead of actually working towards Pencil Dice fulfillment, it's more likely that Ken "Whit" Whitman just got access to one of these machines to take a picture with so he can kick the Kickstarter can down the road some more, which fits his already established behavior.
