His impact on culture was huge. Whether you played D&D or not, he must be admired for being a visionary.
I haven't played D&D in 22 years, or heard of his name, but he will be missed.
R.I.P.

Never played D&D, but I'm currently a Level 26 Knight in PuzzleQuest. I'm having a chore of a time trying to capture this Liche.

I bet Vampire Weekend played D&D, or at least the computer version.
