Hmmm...
Some of the responses are interesting....
I started this thread with the idea of dealing with Acronyms for the standard SE4 game.
So, what do I do with BOHICA?
Also, some of the Acronyms are for the "advanced" player...such as mods.
So, for the moment, I thought I would put the "non-standard" SE4 stuff into **FUN STUFF AND NOT SO FUN STUFF** and deal with it later.
The **FUN STUFF AND NOT SO FUN STUFF** will be in alphabetical order, so it should be relatively easy for the experienced player to find what he wants.
If someone does know of a better way of doing this, I would like to hear it.
Here's the up to date listing...
