¿Question #4687?
Gialmere: True Life Gaming: Did you ever buy one of those old D&D boxed sets and then sat around wondering what the hell the crayon was for?

pwilz: Nope. I didn't get into D&D until everyone was playing AD&D.
Woelf: That's in case you get hungry while waiting for another player to make a decision.
Chris Page: To draw mustaches on all the dragons. Duh.
Phil Fleischmann: No, because I know how to read. It tells you in one of the booklets exactly what the crayon is for.
punchykoos: Nope
Felimid: No. But then again, I started off with the original trilogy ("Men and Magic", "Monsters and Treasure", "Wilderness Adventures") in photocopied versions, then "Monster Manual", "Players Handbook", "Dungeon Master's Guide" (first edition). I guess that dates me, huh? :)

Decorius: No, I wish I had one of the crayons now. My dice need some tune up.
