SCA Authors

Various Authors and their SCA Names

The question of which authors are or were involved in the SCA seems to come up once a year or so. Mary and I compiled this list from memory, Stefan's Florilegium, and a question or two to Jim.

Jerome Robert McKenna was Jerry Pournelle's SCA name.

Heinlein knew about and was on the West Kingdom mailing list for years, but allegedly never came to an SCA event.

Robert Asprin used to be Yang the Nauseating, but left the SCA many years ago in high dugeon, and has not returned. He had started to return. RIP 2008

Karen Anderson was Karina of the Far West, a long time Laurel Queen of Arms. She moved to Caid a couple of years ago from the West.

Adrienne Martine Barnes was the first Queen of the East, as Adrienne of Toledo.

Randall Garrett was Randall of Hightower.

Diana Listmaker was Diana Paxson, sometimes known as Diana Paxson Studebaker, at whose home the first event took place.
