I am in a very good mood at the moment. A couple of days ago, I posted a thread, asking if anyone had a spare copy of Dungeon #139 as Paizo had sold out of them and I didn't know where else to find a copy. Charwoman Gene said that he had a spare copy and would send it to me. When I asked today about how he would like me to pay him, he said that it was free of charge!
Needless to say I was very surprised but extremely grateful at his generosity. I have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of an EN Worlder's generosity a couple of times now and I think it is time that I publicly recognized these people.
At the end of last year, I start collecting D&D minis. I was having trouble finding a Storm Archer mini for sale, which I though would be perfect for one of my players to use as his PC mini. Echohawk offered to send me one if I couldn't find one anywhere else. After looking around at a number of places online without any luck I took him up on his offer. He not only sent me the Storm Archer, but about 100 other minis that I was after, all without expecting anything in return.
Kaomera saw a thread where I commented that I didn't think I'd ever be able to get a Beholder mini, due to the rarity and cost of one. He e-mailed me and offered to sell me a spare one he had for a much smaller amount than the actual market cost ($30+). After a few e-mails, he ended up sending me not only the Beholder but about 40 other minis in exchange for only a couple of minis that I had (which were worth much, much less).
Earlier this year there was a sale on some Necromancer Games adventures on DriveThruRPG. I lost track of when the sale ended and it ended the day before I went to buy one of the adventures. I e-mailed Necromancer Games to find out if they would be on sale again any time soon. Bill Webb from Necromancer Games (I'm not sure what his username is here) relied, saying that he would put it back on sale for me the next week. In the end he had a little trouble getting the computer system to put the adventure I wanted on sale again so he send it to me free of charge.
Honourable mentions must also go to Festivus and diaglo. Festivus sent me a spare copy of Dungeon #124 at cost price when I was unable to find a copy of the issue anywhere else. diaglo offered to buy me a copy of Dragon #310 (I think it was that issue) from his FLGS and send it to me when my subscriber copy got lost in the mail and Paizo didn't have any replacements left. This was despite the fact that I had only been on EN World for a couple of months and was still very much a newbie poster. Fortunately my subscriber copy showed up a month later so there was no need for him to send me a copy but I still thought it was a very kind offer to make.
So what acts of generosity has a fellow EN Worlder done for you (or someone you know)? I think it's time that these things people got the recognition that they deserve for their good deeds.
