Dungeon #5 (May/June, 1987) contains a six-page Basic D&D wilderness mini-scenario, written by Andrew McCray.

Intended as a one-session interlude for a party of 6-8 characters of 1st to 3rd levels, the action takes place in the middle of a large forest at night.
I ran this adventure for my son and his friends, back in 2015, and wrote up a brief summary of our session (linked, here).
About the Author:
Andrew McCray was introduced to the D&D game by his dad, the DM of Andrew's group for three years. When his father resigned as gamemaster, the group selected Andrew as his successor. Currently a freshman planning to major in psychology at Millsaps College in Jacksonville, Mississippi, Andrew hopes that the publication of Mylvin Wimbly breaks the streak of bad luck he has had in getting his work published.

Mylvin Wimbly:
This fully-sketched out NPC could be used in other adventures, complete with a backstory drawn from this adventure.
Treasure Map:
The treasure map of Lazambar the Magician indicates "some kind of treasure cache buried nearby. The DM may decide if the cache actually exists and what treasure it holds."
A Norwegian translation of this adventure (“Problemet Mylvin Vimre») was included in the Norwegian translation of the Mentzer Basic set, published in Norway in 1988. I re-ran it recently and it holds up well!
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember reading about that somewhere, but couldn't relocate my source for this post!
DeleteThanks for commenting to confirm. Were there other adventures from Dungeon included in the Norwegian translation of the Basic or Expert Sets?
