Lords of the Middle Sea

Modern Conquest and War Games

Lords of the Middle Sea is a science fiction war game published by Chaosium, with Lynn Willis credited as its author and 1978 given as its publication year in the Noble Knight Games catalogue. The game is set in the year 2401 on a map of an inundated North America, where the drowned lands have become the Middle Sea. Its setting mixes galleons, dirigibles and medieval troops, which gives a post-apocalyptic world that has returned to sea power and old-style armies. Players guide the fortunes of rival nations, taking roles such as the Emperor of the Nahuas, the President of Mexico, the First Rider of TransWyoming or the Fisher of Wardoms. The catalogue entry does not state a player count, so none is recorded here.
