Henry Kuttner (April 7, 1915 — February 4, 1958) was a leading author of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. He frequently collaborated with his wife, C. L. Moore, whom he met through their mutual involvement in the Lovecraft Circle. Their work appeared under numerous names, most famously Lewis Padgett.

He began selling science fiction short stories in 1953, and became well known for the Sector General stories, which established the sub genre of medical science fiction. In addition to the twelve Sector General books (some novels, some short story collections), he published nine other books.

Dave Arneson

Dave Arneson (October 1, 1947 — April 7, 2009) is best known as co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons and its Blackmoor campaign world. He worked briefly for TSR in the 1970s, and subsequently sued the company for credits and royalties. As a result, Dungeons & Dragons is co-credited to Arneson and Gary Gygax, but Advanced Dungeons & Dragons was originally credited to Gary alone. I met Dave a few times during my years at TSR.
