>Does anyone have a resolution to my current dilema as it has me perplexed.

Go to specialty store; Mall chains may carry select material, but they never
offer a full selection of anything. This is true of CDs, electronics, and
even clothing. For instance, I have regularly seen the main rules, SSC, and
Shadowtech carried at B Daltons, but have yet to spot modules other than
Mercurial and the UB, or sporadic coverage of the sourcebooks. It varies
greatly between stores, so your mileage will most certainly vary.

>P.S. Who said that Doctor Doom is the only one who regularly uses his
>vocabulary to its full extent? :-)

I don't know, but I'd like to add that it's not the regular employment of
the most discriminating language, but rather the extent to which knowledge
of one's own tongue is evident that impresses others. Furthermore, a certain
knowledge of literature and history always supplements a master of verbal
nuance, for it allows references and analogies to be made that exemplify the
idea being expressed. It is the idea that is of primary importance. While it's
true that large vocabularies will offer a more precise means of expressing an
idea, they cannot support it alone.


Some vocabularies are more equal than others.
Some ideas are more equal than others.
