R. Talsorian Games, based in Renton, WA, publishes numerous role-playing game books and accessories. They are most famous for the Cyberpunk 2020 series and for anime-related titles such as Dragonball Z. Their major product line today is the Fuzion system.
The company's chairman is Mike Pondsmith, usually known as "Maximum Mike" by players, R. Talsorian Games and members of their online bulletin board.
Products include Cyberpunk 2020; Mekton Zeta, an anime RPG; Castle Falkenstein, a Sorcery and Steampunk RPG; Teenagers From Outer Space, an anime universal setting, the first generic anime RPG until the creation of Big Eyes, Small Mouth using the Tri-Stat system; and several RPGS based around animes Bubblegum Crisis, Armored Trooper Votoms and Dragonball Z.
Ever since the 1998 release of the Cyberpunk 2020 sourcebook Firestorm: Shockwave, fans of R.Tal have been awaiting for a new release of the Cyberpunk game, known as Cyberpunk 203X. Over the years, the entire project has been at times discounted as vaporware, but at the time of writing, the latest word from Mr. Pondsmith was that the book was finally in the printing stage, its delays due to other projects and Pondsmith's involvement in the development of the Matrix Online game.
