Flying Buffalo Incorporated (FBI) is a company based in Scottsdale, Arizona that offers roleplaying games, gaming materials, and play by mail gaming services.

Founded by Rick Loomis and Steve MacGregor in 1970, the company invented computer-moderated play-by-mail games, in which the computer referees multiplayer games conducted by mail (or, in this modern era, e-mail, phone, and fax as well). Popular pbm games include Starweb and Battle Plan. </p>

Later, 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 a time.
