Tri Tac Games had its humble beginnings in 1978 when Role playing games consisted solely of a single boxed set of TSR books and hard-to-get polyhedral dice. Based in Pontiac, WA, Tri Tac Games is one of the founding fathers of Role playing games in the United States.

First called "Tacky Tack Games", the company produced the classic Microgame, Geriatric Wars. Everybody laughed and enjoyed the inexpensive game. Within three years Richard Tucholka had created Fringeworthy, the first RPG of interdimensional travel, and was hard at work on Bureau 13: Stalking the Night Fantastic, the first late 20th Century Horror RPG, and a space Role Playing game called FTL:2448. The company name was changed to reflect the new and more serious products.

Over the intervening years these games saw two editions and continued to sell. In the early 1990's all of the Tri Tac RPG books were upgraded into third edition color-covered books. Now, in 2004, their products are being offered in multi-platform PDF format (Adobe Acrobat Reader) on CD, enabling gamers to produce copies on their own printers.
