ABOUT
Avant Core has been in development for nearly 7 years by a small group of close friends and roleplayers in Denver, CO. Every single aspect of the game has been rigoriously playtested dozens of times, then reworked and tested again until each member of the team is 100% satisfied with the results. This ensures balanced gameplay while providing options for nearly every style of play.
Avant Core is a new format of Tabletop Gaming, a new direction in the development of games and the definition of what a game is. Simply put, Avant Core is a Game System meant to portray any setting, not a Game Setting with rules tailored for its function.
As such, Avant Core has been rigorously tested and formatted to be able to portray anything within the realms of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Full Realism. Based on physics, real-world experience and mechanics, and the training of a number of professionals within diverse fields of study from Martial Arts and Dancing to Engineers and Physicists. We have done everything within our power to make this game a whole new experience utilizing player-friendly numbers applied to any interaction they can dream of.
Avant Core is a D20 / D% system which bases its mechanical functions on synchronicity of skill and ability use. There is no end to the level of combination that can be achieved with any of a wide variety of functions within each individual skill, attribute, and ability set. D20s represent attribute, save, and skill usage and are used to determine the results of such functions. D% represents random elements, luck, and favor functions of the game.
The system uses multiple experience types with varying levels of rulesets for all forms of player. From Greenhorns using basic rule functions to tabletop veterans with years of experience, this game can accomodate any level of rule complexity. We aim to make a more perfect system for Roleplay Gaming usable by all players for all settings imaginable, and this is the product of our years of pursuit. This game was made for your enjoyment, and we hope to see it become the favored system by players all around the world.
Thank you for your interest,
-Alexander Clark, Creative Director of Avant Core
THE Founding Four
ALEXANDER CLARK
Stubborn. If there was one word to describe the President of Avant Core Games, this would undeniably be it. He never settles for second best, especially in himself. He does not relent, he does not surrender, and he doesn't let his team do so, either.
TYLER CASEBOLT
A beloved and missed brother, one of the founding four who we fear we will never be able to properly thank. One of our dearest friends, we hope his memory will forever live on in our work, in our hearts, and in the joy our products will bring. May he never be forgotten.
JOSEPH WEIMER
A student of History, Philosophy, and much more, he ensures accuracy in setting and the second longest term developer in Avant Core Games. Sometimes he may be frantic, but insists that he is "not" the prevaling source of madness within the group.
JEFF OHLERKING
There are many ways to describe Jeff. He has been known to be called Jefficka, Beefcakes, Angry Viking, that guy kicking the other guy out of the ring. You know, the usual. This versed martial artist has devoted immense effort to perfecting our combat systems in our various games.

Through our time setting this company up, we have encountered many roadbumps and made many changes to our approach. This has come with the unfortunate fact of moving through various teammates. We would like to mention all of them, and give all of them their dues, but simply do not have the desire to make a continuously changing credits reel to include them all. Those who have helped us test, those who have joined the community, we thank you all, as we can't do this without you. Those who no longer work with us, we thank you for the time you had invested. Those who have stuck around, however, will be listed here as time goes on.
