I've been playing tabletop rpg's off and on for nearly 30 years, and I love them, but even I would be a little hesitant to call D&D one of the most important games of our time. Would you care to elaborate on what makes it important, or expand on their cultural impact?

Hey, thanks for this reply. I guess I have a tendency to still see tabletop rpgs as a small phenomenon, mostly relegated to suburban basements, when it truly is branching out. The latter two points that you raise definitely have a lot of weight, and companies like WotC and Paizo have shown that RPG's can be valuable economic commodities. Any indie games that you like in particular? Have you checked out Monte Cook's Numenera game yet?
