Holy mole. Even without the rulebook the box and maps alone must be worth a great deal more than what you paid. The Jakalla map is a beauty isn't it?
It is some great art, especially the box lid. And that city looks great for adventuring.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any EPT boxed sets on ebay to compare, so I have no idea what my find might be worth.
The box cover art is from Barker himself and shows a symbolic map of the capital city Bey Su (I think). The box sets run $180-200 though I've never seen them sold without the book.
Does HPB carry used books? Or was this new old stock from some warehouse?
Never mind my question; I see the website carries used stuff from many sellers.
Alec, Half-Price is a chain of stores that offers mostly used merchandise, including the occasional old-school gaming score. I've found classic TSR modules and even miniatures at their stores.
I saw it there on my last two visits and almost picked it up, but I'm just not a huge fan of EPT. I'm glad it went home with someone who would appreciate it more than I.
You can pick up a pdf of the rules on the rpgnow/dirvethrurpg website for $11 (one dollar over the $10 I paid for my copy of rules about 40 years ago). Of course, you could alternately pick up the new "Bethorm: the Plane of Tekumel RPG" by Jeff Dee which available on lulu at the UNIgames store front (however, it's a bit more that $11).
