Leslie & Jeanette Roth seems to have written for GREY WORLDS.

A search for "Leslie & Jeanette Roth" lead me here among others:

Don Coatar might be a nick name.
I found some links referring to Chaosium.

QuoteChaosium Gaming Events
Cthulhu Masters Tournament
Don Coatar is spear heading this year's CMT. 24 Players will join "The Honourable Company" and brave the Northern wilds. One lucky player will win the coveted Migo Braincase Trophy.

Maybe you could contact some of the Chaosium staff? (If that company still exists, not sure. Some mail-addys and the entry from 2009 can be found here: http://www.chaosium.com/article.php?story_id=427 (GenCon 2009)

Edit: It seems the name is Donald Coatar, here's a more informational link:

Sent Nicholas two more PMs, those contain some speculation.
Might be worth a look though. :)

Hey,

I came across an RPGnet thread during a search that led me here.  I'm Matt Esget, the author of Black Ops. I'm on the list of people being sought on the freelance list.  I'd love to get in touch with ICE again - My email is esget at hotmail if you would like to have a conversation about the publishing rights.

Edit: Sorry, I meant RPGnet, instead of RPGNow.com

Mark Henneback
RMC4
Germany as of RMC4

Is it possible that his name is not Henneback but HennebaCH? An American would probably speak it as back at the end but in Germany we enjoy this rather elegant ;) 'ch' sound.
There seem to be some Mark HennebaCHs on the internet, even in the USA, so maybe looking it that direction might help.

Board Game Designer Forum is a likley place to find somebody that might know of the lost authors.

Well, I was directed here by a message from Bernd Teichert on Facebook.  I'm the missing Mandy Merts - now Mandy Wright.

I only contributed one small spell list to RMC5, and it would be fine for this to be rereleased in PDF or print.  If you guys need anything more formal from me, I'll be happy to help you out!

Marc R

Welcome ShadyLady, glad to have you back. Likely you'll get contacted by Nicholas, who handles these things.

Hi and welcome Mandy!
I hope some of my other research will help Nicholas bring back more authors. :)

It was really more a shot in the dark in your case, but I'm glad i was right.

Lem Richards is on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/lem.richards) - given common friends in Ross Henton, I assume it is him.

Are there still authors "missing"?
If yes, can we have an updated list? I think the one on page 1 isn't 100% correct anymore.

ironmaul

You will find the list on the first page of this thread with those found crossed off the list.

Marc R

As far as I know, all the found authors are crossed off, if I missed any let me know and I'll cross them off.

I did some work on HARP:Battlemaster (terrain rules and the maps) and would be very interested in working on battlemaps for other efforts.

I can be reached at solomoncecil (at) yahoo (dot) com

Sent a PM to Nicholas regarding "Markus Kaipanen".
I might have found a rather old email adress for him...
There's a "Markus Kaipanen" on facebook (http://fi-fi.facebook.com/markus.kaipainen) and he seems to be a Swedish... No, I don't have Facebook so I'll live it to you guys to contact him.
