Hello everyone, found this by accident.  I guess I'm found now.   I look and feel much older now.   :)

I stumbled upon Steve Danielson just recently (Martial Arts Companion) so I'll pass his info on to whoever it is that needs to talk to him about getting rights back to publish it.  I'm guessing that's Nick?

Yes, it is, and your email with Steve's contact details is already in my inbox.

Is the list at the top up to date?  I see Steve Danielson is still listed as lost, or are you just waiting to hear back from him?

hmm...it seems reasonable to assume that the Tim Taylor at BoardGamegeek (who lists credits for Bladestorm and War Law) is the same guy who worked on the Alchemy Companion (and, it appears, just about everything else).

MrApollinax, you might shoot Tim Taylor a message there to see if that is him and let him know to look into contacting Nick.  Without going into detail, I would suggest letting him know that the system has changed hands in management too.

Actually I'm not a member there. I happened to find the link on Google whilst trying to alleviate a bout of insomnia...I'd rather not join for the purposes of PMing someone. Perhaps there are people who are members here and on BoardGameGeek who might like to make that approach?

I've made the change on the list. I have been in touch with Steve Danielson and am awaiting what he would like to do. With RMU coming, there are different options that now make sense for authors of limbo works.

I'm a member, but I couldn't find him.  Do you have a link to where you saw it?

Is ICE still looking for the lost authors? If so, an updated list would be cool. I'll search around. Just doing a casual search I found the two people at the top of the list but you may have already found them.

*edit* this is what I found so far.

He seems to use the online handle Coenedens so I think these are him.

Seems very likely it could be him since he on Facebook is friend with Olle Sahlin (that used to work on Target Games that did the Swedish MERP translation and loads of other games). I try to send him a not on FB to see if it is him.

Anders answered that he has already been in touch with Marc and have posted the required documents by snail mail.

The question if the list is properly updated seem to be on topic...

I think Marc may not have updated the list fully. In the case of Anders Blixt, I have checked my email records and I've been waiting on him sending me details of his OneBookShelf account so that I can actually pay him when Cyber Europe comes back.
