Gamelords
Gamelords was an American game company that produced tabletop role-playing games and game supplements.
History
Kerry Lloyd founded the company, with three friends - Richard Meyer, Janet Trautvetter, and Michael Watkins in 1980. Gamelords was centered in Gaithersburg, Maryland.Gamelords published the role-playing game Thieves' [Guild (role-playing game)|Thieves' Guild] in 1980. 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.
When FASA ended its support of Traveller, William H. [Keith Jr.] and J. Andrew Keith moved their Traveller writing to Gamelords. The Keith brothers wrote seven Traveller supplements for Gamelords, including The Mountain Environment, The Undersea Environment, and The Desert Environment.
Gamelords was sold to Tadashi Ehara in 1986.
