> How can someone who's done so much not be "known".
Easily; q.v. "Small Reference Pool".
As in, for example, "Name me the half dozen most important, earliest roleplaying campaigns/campaign worlds".
Joe Public might get Greyhawk but we might expect readership here to happily list both Greyhawk and Blackmoor.
A few people will know enough to be able to add Kalibruhn and Tekumel, or maybe Arduin or Glorantha (if casting a bit later).
Virtually no-one would be able to cite Gorree or Edwyr off-hand, despite their considerable influence at the time. (Or Midgard, if y'really want to rock the boat).
Paul falls easily into the middle grouping and just about holds onto the top end of that, thanks again to that SRP principle; "The Dungeoneer", "Dark Tower", "Caverns of Thracia".
Now name his other contributions without (re-)reading?
@ Allen: Good article re. Jaquays' contribs to gaming in general, thank you.
(Could you please fix the malformed link to Wiki', perhaps; and apologies for stealing a bit of your thunder.
)
Cheers,

p.s. OT/"When the late '70s fad in tabletop roleplaying peaked and died" got a chuckle in context, btw. Add another few years to that, perhaps? *g*
