Avalanche Press is an American company that publishes board wargames and has published some role-playing game supplements. They have produced The Great War at Sea and Panzer Grenadier series, as well as Red Parachutes, one of their earliest games and a detailed study of the Soviet crossing of the Dnepr River in 1943.

History

Avalanche Press was started in 1994 by Mike Bennighof and Brian Knipple. In 1996, Avalanche Press released the first game in the Great War at Sea series. Twice, the series has won the Origins Award for the best historical game of the year.[1][2] They have also received many finalist nominations for the Origins Awards.{{fact|date=August 2012}}

Avalanche Press was one of the publishers who began producing role-playing game supplements for the d20 System.[3]{{rp|395}} From 2000 to 2005, Avalanche Press produced products using the open-source d20 system.[4] The book Celtic Age won the 2002 Origins Award for Best RPG Supplement.{{fact|date=August 2012}} Avalanche Press had the license to produce a game based on the Iron Empires comics by Christopher Moeller, and had planned to release a d20 setting book called Iron Empires Lost Histories in 2004.[5]{{rp|195}} When Luke Crane contacted Moeller directly in 2005 to offer to help with the project, he learned that it was dead and that Moeller was now looking for a new RPG publisher, so Crane and Moeller were able to reach a new licensing deal.[5]{{rp|195}}

Avalanche Press' physical plant is located in Irondale, Alabama[6] after previously being in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
