I wouldn't say that he was a major player, but I think he had some influence. Maybe it would be a different genre today if he had had more.

My favorites are The Greater Trumps and War in Heaven, so I would suggest them. I would not recommend All Hallows Eve, simply because I didn't find the story or the characters very engaging. On the other hand, JD may come back and give us some good reasons why it's a very significant work.
