− | == | + | '''Flying Buffalo''' Incorporated ('''FBI''') is a [[Scottsdale, Arizona]] that publishes [[role playing games]], [[card games]], gaming materials, and runs [[Play-by-mail game]]s. |
+ | |||
+ | Founded by [[Rick Loomis]] and [[Steve MacGregor]] in [[1970]][http://www.flyingbuffalo.com/history.htm], the company got its start running a simple computer-moderated wargame, ''Nuclear Destruction'', widely considered to be the first commercial play-by-mail (PBM) game. In 1976 the company starting running a space exploration/conquest PBM game titled ''[[Starweb]]''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Flying Buffalo has also published games outside of PBM, starting off with the card game ''[[Nuclear War (card game)|Nuclear War]]''. In 1975 they published ''[[Tunnels and Trolls]]'', a fantasy role playing game generally similar to ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''. Later products included background materials for fantasy role playing games, which became the "[[Catalyst (role-playing game supplements)|Catalyst]]" series. They also produce a range of different weird dice (such as for pizza), and currently hold the printing rights to the ''[[Ace of Aces]]'' and ''[[Lost Worlds]]'' flip book systems. The company also ran a gaming store at various locations in [[Tempe, Arizona]] until 1985. | ||
