I have always thought an FAQ booklet as an OD&D supplement would have been a good idea. It would especially be a good idea these days, since the average 20 year old has a fraction of the practical non modern world knowledge compared to a 20 year old in 1974. It is not so much that young people lack imagination, although public school does its best to beat that out of everyone, but that they lack the knowledge that would inform their imagination. A good FAQ would be filled with imagination prompts.
