R Talsorian Games was founded in 1985 and is respected worldwide for its intriguing world settings, award winning products, and impeccable graphic design. Beginning with Mekton, the first giant robot setting to be published in the U.S (and later translated into French, German, Italian, and Japanese) Talsorian soon followed up this success with the highly acclaimed Teenagers from Outer Space (Winner of the 1987 Gamer’s Choice Award as well as being voted one of Games Magazines top 100 Games).

RTG’s most famous product, Cyberpunk, lead the explosive entry of the dark future genre into roleplaying in 1987, and has continued to break new ground ever since. A richly textured world supported by a host of supplements, Cyberpunk has become the basis of an upcoming AAA video game from famed developers CD Projekt Red.

In 1994, R. Talsorian published the revolutionary Castle Falkenstein. Based in a mythical Victorian world where Magick and Jules Vernian science fiction live side by side, Falkenstein was the inspiration for translations into 6 languages as well as a novel series featuring such well known authors as John DeChancie and Nebula award winner George Alec Effinger. Highly regarded for it’s stunning illustration and graphic design as well as a compelling story and revolutionary game mechanic (that used cards rather than dice), Castle Falkenstein won the prestigious Origins Award in 1994; a year later, its North America sourcebook, Six Guns & Sorcery, won the Origins Award for Best Game Supplement.

After a hiatus, R. Talsorian Games has emerged in a new incarnation, specializing in bringing unique creative visions to multiple media formats with new games as well as new versions of our classics.

Ragnar Brothers Games design our own games, board and card, publish ourselves mainly (but with some notable exceptions such as 'History of the World', 'Fire and Axe', 'Angola' and 'Steam Donkey') and sell them through this website and some discerning stores around the world.

We have only published limited runs of 1000 copies, unless they are licensed by larger companies.

The Romans is our last self published game after over 30 years of designing, so please take a look. You can order from this site - click on 'More' at the top of the site to select your location in the world for prices and ordering.

Who we areRagnar Brothers consists of three friends who ought to know better but can’t resist the urge to design board games. It all started in the early 1980′s when we gathered with our reprobate friends to recreate American Civil and Second World War battles with 25mm Airfix figures and large pieces of chip board painted green. Ah! the good old days when entire weekends would disappear in a heady mix of artificial cannon smoke and beer fumes. These days we stick to designing board games and card games – we've been doing it for 30 years!.​

Rapid Fire wargames rules are the longest established set of World War II fast play rules for games using models and miniatures. Rapid Fire are the original fast play World War II wargaming rules for use with 20mm (1/72nd) miniatures. These are rules for gamers who want to enjoy good natured competition and respectfully explore the history of the world's greatest conflict. The units are scaled down so players can fight 'proper' battles from company to divisional level.

Real Time Wargames is a group of British Wargames Designers who want to design games that replicate the period in which they represent. The ethos is simple, yet realistic, games that combine a campaign system and a battle that can be completed in an evening.

Many of the rules can be used to fight big battles with lots and lots of toy soldiers (10mm is our preferred scale, but the rules can work with any scale) - no rebasing needed!
