Chainmail Bikini Games and random acts of niceness

[PA]

For Christmas, I received both Beyond Monks and Call for Duty as complimentary products from Chainmail Bikini Games. At first, I didn't notice the "complimentary product" tag, so I wondered who had played Santa Claus for me. Then, being very busy with studies-related stuff (I spent both of my Eves working on an abstract and two articles ), I forgot about it, until yesterday.

Since complimentary products are usually for established reviewers, I began to conceive that a mistake had been made and I had received the presents by mistake. So I emailed the company, and here is James's answer:

A random act of niceness? For real?! And what next? Maybe I'll get to see a fairy, or a dragon.

Thank you James.

What a nice thing to do...
And about the seeing a fairy or a dragon, I have a friend who can hook you up with something that'll make you see even wilder things...
Uh... what?

I just need to go down to Washington Square if I want to get that kind of stuff. It's much more common than dragons, fairies, or random acts of niceness.

Cool! Nicely written products to boot! I am especially fond of the feats in Beyond Monks, and I like how they reworded their update to use the book without the martial artist class (sorry James... I am on board with the idea, but with all the other d20 products, a class other than monk as the default martial artist just was like swimming upstream. But the fact that Beyond Monks is a nice resource nonetheless shows what a good product it is!)

That was very nice of Chainmail Bikini Game (aka James Garr).

I love to see people pass along the Christmas Spirit!

It's gestures like that, which make me believe there is hope for the human race yet. Thanks for sharing an excellent story!!
