Gamers celebrate advent of 5th Edition by burning 4E books

[Libertad]

Link.

As long as it's books they own, they're well within their right, buuuuut...

Kinda creepy, if you ask me.

[Unbeliever]

It is a fairly dramatic statement.  Kind of Jimi Hendrix, but y'know, like bitter and geeky.

I'm not all that creeped out by it; I guess game books burned by a few individuals doesn't quite trigger my Nazi vibe.

Eh, I just remember a lot of crazy venom gamers held towards 4th Edition and its fans that kind of taints the occasion in my eyes.

That's what I associate it with, yeah. It's not like the Nazis were the only ones who ever burned books (not that other book burnings were any better).
That gargoyle is cool, though.

[Complete4th]

Yup, h4ters gonna hate.

hmm ...

That statue is interesting , but c'mon.
Burning Books is stupid.

I would'a bought the collection for the price of shipping.
 


I bet he gets flamed for this.

Given that he apparently did some sort of testimonial about how the great and holy D&D had returned to them, banishing the evil mechanics to the four winds, i'd expect he wants nothing less.

Burning Books is stupid.

You guys might not want to read this. 

[awaken_D_M_golem]

Don't remind me.
Some people are -- at least -- making real art sculptures out of old books.

It's kinda weird (I'm a good judge of weird, eh?)
that people shell out piles of $$ for things they don't use at all.
And then pitch them anyways.
  you people.

I know one guy who uses his 4e books to prop up his couch in case of a flood.

There's a huge difference between burning books in order to suppress the ideas within, burning books as a symbol of protest, and burning books out of necessity. The first is appalling, the second is free speech, and the third is tragic.
