Tri Tac Games is a publisher of role-playing games based in Pontiac, Michigan. The company is built primarily on the work of Richard Tucholka, its founder and president.

Company history

In 1974, Richard Tucholka collaborated with Robert Sadler on a number of pieces of fiction that eventually evolved into the post-apocalyptic role-playing game The Morrow Project. Tucholka and Sadler approached Kevin Dockery to add military realism to the game, and the three formed Timeline Ltd. in 1979 to publish the new RPG. The three ran into creative differences almost immediately, and Tucholka and Sadler left Timeline to form Tacky Tack Games. .

The company's first product was the humorous microgame Geriatric Wars. It was followed by: Fringeworthy, the first interdimensional travel RPG; Bureau 13: Stalking the Night Fantastic, a late 20th Century Horror RPG; and FTL:2448, a space RPG. All three were created by Tucholka. Given the more serious tone of these works, the company name was changed from Tacky Tack Games to the more professional-sounding Tri Tac Games in 1983.
