In this paper we examine when a twisted group ring, Rγ(G), has a semi-simple, artinian quotient ring. In §1 we assemble results and definitions concerning quotient rings, Ore sets and Goldie rings and then, in §2, we define Rγ(G). We prove a useful theorem for constructing a twisted group ring of a factor group and establish an analogue of a theorem of Passman. Twisted polynomial rings are discussed in §3 and I am indebted to the referee for informing me of the existence of [4]. These are used as a tool in proving results in §4.
