Me, I confess I've spent quite a bit on 4E - probably easily over $300 - possibly more than I spent in the 3E period, and certainly I've gotten far more play out of the 4E books than the 3E books. |

I've got my copy of MM3, and indeed, it's in there!
Then again, the Sea of Dust was in Primal Power. A few more things sneak in every book, it seems. |

AHH-ka.
Emphasis on the first syllable, and hold the vowel sound; then a very short second syllable. |
