Avalon Hill got into roleplaying through Victory Games, then later through the publication of several lines under the Avalon Hill imprint, the most notable of which was RuneQuest.

Avalon Hill stopped publishing RPGs in the late 1990s after a very uneven, mostly unsuccessful record, then was sold to Hasbro in 1999. Avalon Hill has since been used as an imprint for board games produced by Wizards of the Coast.
