I've been thinking recently about what huge an impact Apocalypse World had. I think it's never actually been very popular as a game that is being played and I've seen plenty of people having major issues with that. It's probably become overshadowed in those regard by ots descendant Blades in the Dark. But this whole branch of the RPG genealogy is called Powered by the Apocalypse for a reason, and I do still see it referenced in passing when it comes to discuasions about developments in game design. It certainly was the mosy eye-opening game I ever read, opening up completely new perspectives of what RPGs could be.
