This level dates from March/April 1987 and the cover has a barfight on it with perhaps an half Orc but we find out its a half Ogre which 5E conveniently has.Issue 4 has 4 adventures as well. Mostly level 1-5 with one at level 6-9. Levels in older D&D ofetn dont translate that well to 5E but it gives you an idea.The AdventuresKingdom in the SwampEscape form the Tower of MidnightFluffy Goes to Heck (dognaped lol)Trouble at Grogs (the cover). All AD&D (poor BECMI) The author of Falcons Peak who has posted here in this thread made issues 4 letter page lol and here we are 32 years later. Old dungeons are also a great source of NPC names, factions etc you can mine for your own games. Escape from the Tower of Midnight in particular has a few names worth lifting. Its also a tournament module with points whihc is interesting I suppose in 2019. Fluffly goes to Heck is a shamelessly absurd adventure which disqualifies it for me, it even advertises it in the description. This means its a toss up between Kingdom in the Swamp and Trouble at Grogs. I like both adventures, Kingdom in the Swamp has an early example of a fighter vampire which predates the 3E template system by around 13 years while Trouble at Grogs revolve around the fate of a Half Ogre opening an Inn in a human town. Basically they want to shut it down also see recent arguments about the reception of monstrous type PCs on the forums.  Often with Dungeon the cover often gives you a heavy hint as to the "featured" adventure and Trouble at Grogs is also the best one IMHO. Its also written by the Bouchers who are kind of the MT Black from the DMSGuild of the 1980's they're a very consistent highlight of early Dungeon adventures and they also wrote the best adventure in issue 1.  Certain authors normally turn out something good, and yeah. A level 1 adventure wins.</blockquote>
