FNORD.

Steve Jackson Games is often referred to as the 'other' RPG company, behind White Wolf and Wizards of the Coast.

They are most famous for their GURPS role playing game, which is generically versatile and detailed enough to play in multiple settings, time frames and the like.

They have a huge catalog of products though.

It was founded in 1980, the year of the monkey.
