If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What a ridiculous waste of perfectly good beer pitcher coasters. Those table ring don't prevent themselves, y'know.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

This.

Burning gaming material I've paid good euros for? Are you crazy? I would sell it, and with the money I get, I would buy gaming material that I like.

You can burn most of the 4E books, but I am keeping the Dark Sun one because it is good.

I'm partial to the Dungeon Master's Guide II and the Monster Manuals myself.

Although really, book burning is just so tacky in that 1930s Europe kind of way.

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;755757LOL. I commend the OP's efforts but 4th edition was created in the realm of Baator and therefore immune to fire.

It's ok. The burning is symbolic. I got a jug of muriatic acid and we're going to use some of Zachary's magic missiles first.

Seriously.
I'm going to say something I've tried to not say on this site, or any site, to anyone. Ever.


Fuck you.

I don't like 4E, I don't care about it, it wasn't fun. Yet I say this anyway.

Book burners suck. Its a stupid and wasteful behavior.

Sell it. Trade it.  Give it to someone. Donate it to Good will


 Do something to let someone get a benefit out of it. . Anything, but burning or destroying it.


No matter how much you don't like it.

Book burning???

Wow.


Quote from: Bill;755750You can burn most of the 4E books, but I am keeping the Dark Sun one because it is good.

That's the one Campaign book I didn't get because I've been coin tossing which way I will be going when I finally get a crew to do a Dark Sun campaign.  I've heard good things so its on my get-list.

BTW kids...don't sell your 4e books now. I've been on eBay for many years and traditionally it becomes a cheapo glut for buyers right before a new edition, but then 2-3 years into the edition, the nostalgia kicks in and people start paying a premium for the prior edition books.

FYI, the OSR and 5e hype has blossomed the TSR market on eBay in the last several months with high prices I've never seen before. I expect that to hold strong for the first year of 5e. After that, who knows.

Some people are sensitive to book burning, and considering history, it's understandable. On the other hand, there should be a responsible way to dispose of unwanted books that someone believes are not worth sharing for one reason or another.

I suggest recycling. It takes the book out of circulation and turns it into something useful, like boxes, a new and hopefully better book, or low-grade office bathroom quality toilet paper.

The joke is kind of a pun, Indianapolis has no natural borders, so they just abandon parts of town, like the north side, and grow outwards at an exponential rate.

I did! There were some AMAZING deals on ammo! It was a great day--picked up a new .380 for the wife.

I'm still in the "sell it" camp, but if it comes to target practice, I'll be ready. :)
