Редактирование: Flying Buffalo

'''Flying Buffalo Games''' is a company based in [[Scottsdale, Arizona]] that develops roleplaying games, gaming materials, and [[play by mail]] gaming services.

Founded by [[Rick Loomis]] and Steve MacGregor in [[1970]], the company started as a play-by-mail referee service, in which the company acts as a referee for multiplayer games conducted by mail (or, in this modern era, [[e-mail]], [[phone]], and [[fax]] as well).

As time pass, Flying Buffalo began developing other products, including the game [[Tunnels and Trolls]], a fantasy roleplaying game similar to [[Dungeons and Dragons]], but designed better for individual play and play-by-mail campaigns.  Other products included background materials for fantasy roleplaying, such as the ''Grimtooth's Traps'' series of books which describe various traps that a gamemaster might include in their dungeons, and the ''Citybook'' series which described in detail fantasy cities and their businesses for use in fantasy roleplaying.  The company even ran a gaming store at various locations in [[Tempe, Arizona]] for time.
