A Brief Introduction to this Page's Purpose

 Who is Ken Whitman?

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.

2017.07.15 Some "#ConManKen Posts Over at Tenkar's Tavern

2017.07.15 Some "#ConManKen Posts Over at Tenkar's Tavern
This last week we've had some news that Ken "Whit" Whitman was working as a game store manager and that the owner of said game store is shuttering the business at the end of this month.

Since July 2017 is the last month before Ken "Whit" Whitman's latest promise of Kickstarter fulfillments, it's probably a double-edged sword for him.

There has been some speculation as to the reasons why this particular game store is closing, but at this time we'd rather not partake in speculation. Until there is more pertinent info, we'd rather just provide documentation in the form of a link to recent Tenkar's Tavern post: #ConManKen - Mad Ox Games & Comics is Closing Its Doors July 30th - Time for Another Gig for Ken

Nothing terribly exciting there, but if you look at a slightly older posts we get another fine example of Ken "Whit" Whitman's wonderful sense of writing style and maturity: #ConManKen - Complete With 2nd Grade Putdowns - The Return of Poo Poo Head

2017.06.16 Ken "Whit" Whitman Sinks to Grade-School Name Calling on Facebook

2017.06.16 Ken "Whit" Whitman Sinks to Grade-School Name Calling on Facebook
This last week there has been a LOT of interesting back-and-forth from our hero, Ken "Whit" Whitman and Erik Tenkar (of Tenkar's Tavern). Now for the most part you should really head over there and check out the action/drama, but since part of our mission is a one-stop shop of info regarding Ken "Whit" Whitman, we have to record a few details here....

.....and while we are at it point out some great information to be found in a few spots and some more "stuff" that might not be apparent at first glance.

First off, some highlights: "Erik is a stupid poo-poo butt face. And he's ugly.

Ken "Whit" Whitman Facebook PostIf 13 more people LIKE this quote, then that will be 1 more than Erik's blog gets read. Please LIKE this to show Eric that my friends are cooler and more awesome than his. ALSO, If I get more than 50 LIKES, Erik said he would slap his mom for birthing him. :-)"

Wow.....just wow.

Now we already know that Ken "Whit" Whitman can go a bit..off with social media, but of course he had to weigh in on the Tenkar's Tavern post. "When you only see the world Black and White, I can see how you belive the bullshit you feed other people. 

You sir, do know the the options I had to choose from in the last two years, so pleae, keep judge me on your limited knowlege and make random assumptions and made up stories.

Interestingly, when I do get kickstarters done, you will still be a stupid poo-poo face."

Ken "Whit" Whitman Over at Tenkar's Tavern

I don't realistically expect anyone reading this blog to think that Ken "Whit" Whitman will get any of his Kickstarters done, much less done by August 1st. The 11th of Never is much more likely....remember we've already seen Ken "Whit" Whitman lay the foundation for kicking the Kickstarter can down the road.

If you read that post, you'll see where Ken "Whit" Whitman claimed "I am going in on May 31 to find out if I have CTE.   I may be in stage 2, I am starting to forget things."

Now for us, this is where things get interesting. Erik Tenkar posted some links on his post on Wednesday, June 14th (2017). His link to Alzheimer's Association and Boston University both state that CTE is, and we are paraphrasing here, a condition that has no test and is only identifiable by an autopsy.

In other words Kenny, your statement about "going in" for a test that doesn't exist is straight-up bullshit. Erik's commentary is to let us come to our own conclusions, but we decided to spell it out a bit more directly.

2016.08.17 Ken "Whit" Whitman Attacks a Backer While Claiming He is Harassed

2016.08.17 Ken "Whit" Whitman Attacks a Backer While Claiming He is Harassed
Yesterday we got notification that there was some info going up on the KoDT:LAS Kickstarter comments section regarding an email exchange between a backer and Ken "Whit" Whitman. Now we do not have a copy of said email.....yet, but the post is public for all to see:

"Ken refuses to give an accounting on the project unless forced to do so in court.
I just got this email today from Ken, and I directly quote from it:
"I am not a publicly traded company, I don’t have to do ***." (explicative censored)
If people would like, I can forward them a copy of the email or provide a PDF of the communication, where Ken claims he does not have to give anyone any accounting for the project."

KoDT:LAS Kickstarter Comment

Now we did manage to reach out to someone from KenzerCo and asked if there was a financial review clause in the licensing agreement that allowed Ken "Whit" Whitman to do the KoDT:LAS project to begin with. This is actually a common part of licensing agreements so we weren't surprised that there is indeed such a clause.

We already know that d20 Entertainment isn't a company, much less a "publicly traded company", but Ken "Whit" Whitman isn't on solid ground on keeping his books secret. Secret from NA.D, sure, but not from everyone...

Of course, as anything from Ken "Whit" Whitman tends to go, the comment "discussion" goes sideways and Ken "Whit" Whitman, goes on to attack this one backer, which most everyone would agree is against Kickstarter's Community Guidelines.

Ken "Whit" Whitman posts personal information regarding Mr. Desy which really has no bearing on the non-completion of the KoDT:LAS Kickstarter and then begins complaining about being "harassed" because he's received 10 emails within "48 hours". Evidently when Ken "Whit" Whitman spams people it is marketing, but when he gets emails he doesn't like it is "harassment".

First off, it's called an email filter, learn to use one. Second, Ken "Whit" Whitman has repeatedly offered his phone and email for folks to contact him "I am sorry thats our business model does not work for you. If there is anything I can do for you, please send me a personal e-mail at sales@d20entertainment.com." Third, according to his own comments Ken "Whit" Whitman was clearly exchanging emails with Mr. Desy:

"I would like to apologize To Mr. Desy for emailing him...
Now, put on your big girl panties, log off from the wi-fi in your mom’s basement and find a job. You can’t live on disability from a social disorder all your life.
I did not understand that he suffered from a low moral character, possible brought on by a social disorder or mental illness (I'm just guessing here). The fact that he could no longer be a Lawyer, and basically waisted a couple hundred thousand dollars getting a useless degree, that I am sure he's still paying on, thus needing to live in his moms basement (once again just guessing).
I understand that he is angry at the world, he needs to vent, but to harass me for two solid days... with "I bet you will be living on the streets soon", and some other hateful s***.
Yeah, if I were you guys, I would watch who you associated with .
Mr. Desy - Come to the dark side, we have cookies!!! Oh wait, your here and baking them for me to give away. Sweet!"

Inappropriate KS Comment
Way to stay classy Kenny....way to stay classy.

2016.07.25 Ken "Whit" Whitman Doesn't Leave Well Enough Alone

2016.07.25 Ken "Whit" Whitman Doesn't Leave Well Enough Alone
We thought maybe we should append our last post to add this bit, but decided it deserves it's own post:

"The reason she's calling him a fool, is that thats is not me...you dumb asses! Plus I am sure she is upset by the insult on my daughter. Somebody else's daughter would be rolling over in their grave after hearing that BS, wondering what their day would put up with this shit."

Wow......just wow. This was posted by Ken "Whit" Whitman prior to an inappropriate comment regarding our main man's sexual proclivities, which makes it kind of hard to understand the KoDT:LAS update/rant as it feels like there is more behind it, but the timing is off. Maybe we won't get the blow-by-blow accounting, which isn't really worth pursuing since there are undoubtedly parts we wouldn't feel comfortable posting....

.....and we do have inappropriate info that could be posted. It would take some extremely specific circumstances for us to go there....so don't bother even asking about it.

We just want to focus on this one Facebook comment/post.

2016.07.25 Ken "Whit" Whitman Doesn't Leave Well Enough Alone

1st off, calling folks (clearly more than one) "dumb asses" is just an awkward personal attack that feels, to this writer at least, to be more of a 5th grader-type response.

2nd, insinuating that someone else is upset by a third-party remark is a little pretentious and, if anything, tends to lend some credence to the possibility that "Stacy Walker" is a Ken "Whit" Whitman sock puppet account. We aren't saying it is a sock-puppet account, but this little bit does help with the insinuation.....

3rd, and lastly, complaining about an insult to one's daughter looses a lot of credibility when it is a segue into an attack on another's child. We're certain that Jolly Blackburn and his wife Barbara don't appreciate being reminded that a) they have a dead daughter and b) that Ken "Whit" Whitman can presume anything about said daughter.

Yes, we here at NAD do understand that this 3rd comment seems a little presumptuous given that we are also picking on Ken "Whit" Whitman for speaking on behalf of "Stacy Walker". There is a huge difference because "Stacy" can speak for herself, while Amber Blackburn cannot. It is also pretty much universally accepted that dragging a deceased family member, especially a child, into any conversation is just in bad form. The only reason we even deign to do so here is to do our best to prevent good people (the Blackburns) from having to face this discourteous, and frankly.....fucked up...attack.

Ken "Whit" Whitman.....there are a plethora (that means a lot) of people you've clearly upset, people that think you have scammed them and their friends out of money by abusing the good will built up regarding other people's Intellectual Property. Hopefully you'll stand before one, if not several, courts of law and answer for your alleged (but believed by us here at NAD to be real) crimes, but we doubt you'll be held to task for these other moral crimes. Inevitably these issues will be between you and your higher power, but know this: these continued immoral and unconscionable actions against good people will undoubtedly strengthen the resolve of those who would see you punished for your legal crimes.
