And the Avalon Hill board game brand was still a WotC subsidiary until September 2020. (I can't tell whether the earnings report you mention excludes Avalon Hill from the WotC figures for the whole year.)On top of that, WotC does actually still produce some tiny non–Avalon Hill, D&D-branded board games. Because D&D-branded games are currently also published by licensees like Gale Force Nine (Tyrants of th Underdark) and WizKids (Rock, Paper, Wizard) as well as by Hasbro's general board games division (The Adventure Begins), it's often overlooked that WotC publishes a few such games themselves, most recently Dungeon Mayhem (2019) and The Great Dalmuti (2020). Maybe it's fine to just lump these in with "D&D" anyway, though in the case of for example The Great Dalmuti, the D&D connection is so thin and pasted-on that I wonder whether it was applied only because someone at WotC wanted to reprint the game but had to abide by some new corporate policy that WotC could only publish D&D- or MTG-branded products.All of these would presumably eat up some small fraction of that $234.8 million. D&D would still account for the vast majority of that, to be sure, even if not quite 100%—making this whole post, I suppose, a very unnecessary Comic Book Guy clarification. Thanks for listening.</blockquote>
