American writer and game designer

Lee Gold is a member of California science fiction fandom and a writer and editor in the role playing game and filk music communities.

Her professional credits in the RPG field include Land of the Rising Sun and Lands of Adventure, published by Fantasy Games Unlimited; GURPS Japan, published by Steve Jackson Games; and Vikings, published by Iron Crown Enterprises. Land of the Rising Sun (1980) was a Japanese themed role playing game using the Chivalry & Sorcery game system, and Lands of Adventure (1983) used a game system meant for historical fantasy role playing games. Valhalla: Into The Darkness, the second novel in her trilogy, was published in early 2022. Land of the Rising Sun #2 was named Best Roleplaying Expansion (People's Choice) by UK Games Expo 2021.

In 1988, Gold (who had been filking since 1967) also began publishing Xenofilkia, Although Gold has published filk lyrics, she has never recorded for public distribution. Lee and Barry Gold were jointly inducted into the Filk Hall of Fame in 1997 and were Interfilk guests at Ohio Valley Filk Fest in 2000. Lee and Barry Gold were Featured Filkers at Boskone 44 in 2007. In 2012, Gold published Dr. Jane's Songs, a compilation of all of Dr. Jane's songs that Jim Robinson could find in his archives, plus a few that Lee Gold found from other sources, with illustrations. In 2014, she published a compilation of all the songs by Cynthia McQuillin that Gold, Robinson, McQuillin's literary executors and several other people could track down, over 450 pages of songs.

Lee Gold published the fan fiction fanzine "The Third Foundation" from 1967 until at least 1969. As of May 2023, she had published 571 issues of Alarums and Excursions and 209 issues of Xenofilkia, as well as six volumes of Filker Up!, a filk song anthology. She published Tom Digby: Along Fantasy Way, a collection of writings by Tom Digby, for ConFrancisco, the 1993 Worldcon where Digby was an Honored Guest, and has published writings by other prominent fan writers in the Los Angeles area. She has also published a collection of songs by Dr. Jane Robinson (2012 9 10), and another of songs by Cynthia McQuillin (2014 3 8). In both cases, James Robinson sent copies of all the songs in his possession to Gold. Kristoph Klover and Margaret Davis (McQuillin's literary executors) lent McQuillin's handwritten songs to Robinson, who copied them and sent them to Gold for inclusion. Many other people helped make the McQuillin songbook as complete as possible: the subhead for the songbook reads "all the songs written by Cynthia McQuillin that Dr. James Robinson and Lee Gold and Mary Creasey and Harold Stein and Bob Kanefsky and Alan Thiesen and Margaret Davis and Kristoph Klover could find in 2013."
