Eshaktaar, Sliptip, gaetane and Saturnine would be my top picks. I actually have one of Sliptip's abandoned missions and will finish and release it some day. Some day...

Ycatx, Eshaktaar, Purah, Sledge, Silent Sleep, Sterlino

I can think of a bunch of authors I'd reallly love to see make missions again (most of whom are mentioned in this thread), but if I try and isolate just a couple of choices:
Eshaktaar and SilentSleep.
They both exhibited such masterful, ahead-of-their-time design skill, yet we have relatively little overall work from them, and we haven't had anything from them in ages. I remember thinking or hoping SilentSleep was just getting started with Equilibrium -- still an all-time favorite of mine -- but we never again saw anything from him.

I'll be honest, I oftentimes completely miss who the author was on a mission I played. But one that does come to mind not yet mentioned is Wille. I was really impressed with the size and visuals of Heart of Bohn, especially now being a decade old. If we ever got the third part of Mystic Gems with all the new bells and whistles of NewDark, whoo boy.

Of the ones that haven't been mentioned yet: Alexius from the (sadly unfinished) Hammerite Imperium campaign, and Alex Thompson from the oldies, but goodies Ranstall Keep, and Curse of the Carnival

I remember, ZinkChristine has created nice and rich detailed missions, i loved her creations - but i know she has no more time for that.

Nice topic!
My pick is Purah, then Eshaktaar and Gaetane as honorable mentions.

For a single author: Purah. I'm not sure one person did more to push the envelope than Mr. Huso.
But to see team CoSaS back would be my pick. Digi at the helm. I had a tiny part to play in Mission X and it was a pleasure to be part of such a tremendous effort. MX was probably not the best Thief FM but to me it was the most ambitious. A mind boggling Rube Goldburg twisting convoluted mess that somehow f---ing worked a treat. That it didn't collapse under its own weight is a monument to genius of the core team. All done under Old Dark remember.
