I still don't see Monte Cook's "Dark Space" on this list, although he hardly counts as a "lost" author.

Because he isn't Lost.

Randall Kuipers, of the RoCo VII (and a few old Grey Worlds fanzine articles) variety is still alive and kicking, and is still passing time in Michigan.  Thanks to Liz Danforth for giving me a heads up regarding this thread.  :)  Those wishing to contact me can do so at: Ostof@yahoo.com.  Eager and willing to assist.  :)

So we can cross off Randy Kuipers, welcome, and thanks Liz.

Have confirmed that Earl Wajenberg is the author of Mythic Egypt and politely asked him to check out the site.
I don't have an email address but did give him a link to this post.
Here he is on FB.       https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1693191657&sk=info
I hope it helps. :)

Thanks a few more have come in via PM or e-mail, as soon as any are verified, Nicholas will let us all know and cross them off the list above.

Well, we've found quite a few, and get a slow trickle of one here, a couple there. . .already have some books in play that'd been lost for a long time. Even a couple in now that need to be crossed off.

Thanks to all of you who've reached out and re-connected us with these authors, and some encouragement to the rest of you. . .we've found more than 20% of the above so far, so if there's a book you really want to see come back, get the word out, or do a little looking, we'll be more than happy to talk to any or all of them and try to work something out.

I'm assuming you're wanting to sell PDFs/re-prints of these books once all the contributors are found?

I have a question regarding the Shadow World books.

Some of these listed are now considered as 'non-cannon'. Are you wanting to reprint these as well?

Anyone on the list we're looking to find, or else they wouldn't be on the list of people we're looking to find.

Sean Holland, who worked on RMC VII here.  Please contact me if I can be of help.

One of my friends pointed this out to me.

I am in Georgia now and I proudly boast of my Rolemaster work on my writer's resume.

Thank you.

It will be quite a task gathering up everyone who worked on RMC VII, so best of luck!

If you're still in contact with anyone, do us a favor and pass on the word we're looking for them?

Mark Henneback
RMC4
Germany as of RMC4

Don't know if that helps, but I just pulled out my old printed RMC4:
According the the book the name is "Maik Henneback"

And there's a german board game designer with the name "Maik Hennebach".

Greetings from germany,

Sent a PM to Nicholas regarding "Markus Kaipanen".
I might have found a rather old email adress for him...

Joseph Bernard Daughtery
RMC5, RMC7, SUC   
Illinois as of RMC5 & RMC7

This seems another typo, as my RMC 5 and 7 reads: Joseph B. Daugherty.
I actually found someone this name who lived in Illinois. According to some google hits he passed away in 2009. :(
I "think" his son is activ on the web though... (I doubt someone at the age 21 now wrote for RMC5 or 7 back then ...)
