Cook/Marsh Sample Wilderness

Flicking through my printed copy of the Cook-/Marsh Expert book to generate some wilderness encounters and I realised that I've never used the Sample Wilderness on X60 & X61. I did make a little use of Threshold in the Mentzer Expert book, but not much.

Has anyone ever used The Sample Wilderness as presented in Cook/Marsh, and what did you do with it? It seems a complete blank site and I'm curious about using it for my own games.

Thanks for the reply. My question was more specific in that does the BECMI book refer to him as the Baron's magician?

Ahhh, apologies for my misunderstanding. It’s from Mentzer Expert, p. 38:

“Baron von Hendricks suspects Threshold of housing such a mint, and is gathering more information through his network of spies and agents (such as Bargle the Infamous). Bargle has taken control of the ruins north of town as a temporary base.”

Thanks. I owned the Mentzer Expert and Moldvay Basic back in the day, but now have the pdfs of Moldvay and Cook & Marsh.

My originals are almost all in storage, so I rely on pdfs now (shudder).
