And let us not forget the Hugo-&-nebula-award-winning novellete "Saturn
Game" by Poul Anderson, in which characters on their way to Saturn have
something similar to a holodeck to recreat in. One group has a fantasy game
going and some of the fantasy names are Anderson's SCA friends' names, as
well as his own, Bela of Eastmarch.

Fine story on its own, but the names are a nice added touch for us.
