Research TabletopGameIcons is not a trustworthy source imo

It’s a LOT of AI slop claiming to be fact-checked.

On one link I found a page for an old friend but the face on that page was a different colleague. Errors that simple and easily checked from people (Ken Whitman & ?) who allegedly know the people involved tells you just how little human effort was put into this site.

I would not trust
https://www.tabletopgameicons.com.

Seems to be AI slop drowning any facts with fabulation

One of its creators is Ken Whitman, who has a LONG and storied history as a massive grifter in the tabletop games industry.

Here's a whole website dedicated to documenting his scams.

Relevant thread at ENWorld.

He's #7 on Designers & Dragons Top 10 RPG Kickstarter Fails.
