RE: Dungeons & Dragons: The First Storytelling Game?
Talking about influence, this was the first steps on progression in gaming, before D&D not a lot of game had a system where you could grow as a character and become stronger over time, a trend that years later videogames picked up and now is a must-have characteristic in any modern videogame, D&D made a couple of huge breakthroughs in gaming back then in the 70's!
I think that this is a good example of the many ripple effects that have washed over gaming across the years.
All it takes is one real innovator, and a feature can become standard (or at least wide-spread) incredibly quickly.
