The module provides dual stats for EPT and Swords & Glory in the back. It comes with the M.A.R. Barker seal of approval (a little logo inside the front cover). Pettigrew was otherwise unassociated with Barker's group(s). There are two printings - the original from 1984 by Tekumel Games and the 2nd print from 1997 by Tita's House of Games. I have a copy of the reprint which I got from Noble Knight. Tita's HoG also still has it in stock, I believe, although they have high shipping costs per item (and no combining), IIRC. The dungeon is one-level with a notable circular waterway that connects various rooms; reminds me a bit of the Holmes Sample Dungeon and could be used with D&D very easily.



Went to Tita's HoG and could not find this.

Its under the Swords & Glory Compatible Adventures section and costs $4.95.  Their website sucks.

Thanks John.
Yeah, the site most definately sucks for ordering.
And yeah shipping costs are nuts as well.

The Dungeoneer Journal #23 (Oct/Nov 1980) has a long interview with Barker that covers his relationship with TSR, if you happen to have that issue.



Thanks for the tip, I just bought one copy from Noble Knight Games  8)

Noble Knight has the Tita reprint of Nereshanbo in stock for $5.79 + shipping. Looks like there are 2 copies are left now (one sold earlier today on Ebay):

It's $4.95 direct from Tita, but the shipping is higher.
