WotC Hasbro Reports First Quarter Earnings

What if they use the 80's cartoon for the D&D version? Nostalgia is big these days.

Dang, I’m doomed.

I've never bought a copy of any Hasbro games. My parents bought some in the 70s but I was glad to leave them behind when we discovered Avalon Hill wargames.

Glad to see D&D is doing well. Good news for the continuation of 5e another year at least.

Doesn't Hasbro now own Avalon Hill?

Ironic, innit? It's all that sweet, sweet Monopoly money.

Under the WotC brand even

But you should remember Monopoly is a veteran, one of the oldest titles in the market. More a century, and then it is a brand know by different generations. Risk was published in 1957.

I suggest after Stranger Things and Rick & Morty we could see new D&D based in other famous franchises, for example Zelda.

Yep!

The only AH game I ever purchased after Hasbro bought them is Battleship Galaxies. I bought three copies to build two 30 vessel fleets that I use to play Star*Fire (Task Force Games). The game also comes with beautiful space hex maps. Very good value for the price. I repainted the ships.

Why Zelda?

I so wish that the game had gotten the expansions it was so clearly designed for.

Well the primary gameplay of LoZ is one half of the D&D name.

PLus, it would be cool. I can definitely imagine playing as a Goron.
