He had an imeasurable influence on the world we live in just like like Gygax and Mr Rogers. Did you wear your sweaters today? I hope so....

I'm thinking his influence may be even greater than either of those. However those really are good folx lost as well.

Hmmm we could have an interesting debate on this topic... The influence of a world famous science fiction writer whose works have been turned into movies and spawned countless imitators vs. a man who created a game that was played by millions and created 1000s of spinoffs (pen and paper and video) that brought fantasy to the mainstream vs. a man who created a television show that reached millions of children spanning three generations now. It is not as clear cut as you might think. I came down stairs this morning in my cardigan and my 23 month year old daughter immediately said "Rogers"....
