Not published by TSR, Rahasia is still relevant for a couple of reasons, first it is often considered the first adventure module fully written by a woman, Laura Hickman, however later editions included Tracy, her husband as a co-author. The extent to which this was the case is debatable, but it would also signal the entrance of Tracy Hickman into D&D. Tracy would become one of the most important authors for D&D when he created Dragonlance together with Margeret Weis, a creation and collaboration that is still going on today (look at 2022 Dragons of Destiny novel set in the Dragonlance universe and published by WotC).
I am not discussing this module further because it is a really rare and expensive one and I don’t have access to the 1979 version, but it will be reprinted at least twice later on, as RPGA1 and B7 in the 80s. So we’ll look at it in depth when we get there!
