Flying Buffalo Incorporated (FBI) is a Scottsdale, Arizona that publishes role playing games, card games, gaming materials, and runs Play-by-mail games.

Founded by Rick Loomis and Steve MacGregor in 1970[1], 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. 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" 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.
