Gamelords was an American game company that produced role-playing games and game supplements.

History

Gamelords published the role-playing game Thieves' Guild in 1980.[1] Looking to produce more group-oriented products for The Fantasy Trip, Howard M. Thompson of Metagaming Concepts signed an agreement in 1982 with Gamelords to create a campaign world for the game, but he terminated the agreement after only two campaign books were published.[2]: 80 

When FASA ended its support of Traveller, William H. Keith, Jr. and J. Andrew Keith moved their Traveller writing to Gamelords.[2]: 120  The Keith brothers wrote seven Traveller supplements for Gamelords, including The Mountain Environment (1983), The Undersea Environment (1983), and The Desert Environment (1984).[2]: 131
