Alderac Entertainment Group

Alderac Entertainment Group, or AEG, is a family-owned publisher of tabletop family games.

AEG was formed in the early 1990s and has been continuously owned and operated by President & CEO John Zinser.

History:

AEG began as a publisher of a general interest tabletop gaming magazine named Shadis. Shadis was notable as the first place that Jolly Blackburn's comic Knights of the Dinner Table appeared. Jolly was a co-founder of AEG.

AEG published Legend of the Five Rings and its associated CCG and RPG lines for 20 years (1995-2015).

AEG also created and published card, roleplaying and miniatures games for 7th Sea, Warlord, and Spycraft.

AEG was a successful publisher of d20 OGL game content including a licensed Stargate game; AEG also created and published the World's Largest Dungeon & City products.

AEG discovered the Japanese tabletop designer Seji Kenai and published his game Love Letter. AEG then published Paul Peterson's Smash Up. Those games laid the foundation of AEG's modern family boardgame business.

AEG has been a successful crowdfunding publisher with Thunderstone Quest, Edge of Darkness and Dead Reckoning being notable hits on Kickstrter.

AEG has partnered with our friends at Flatout Games to co-publish many of their titles including the award-winning Cascadia.

AEG works with popular designers like Elizabeth Hargrave (Mariposas & Undergrove); John D Clair (Mystic Vale, Space Base, Ecos, etc.); Pete McPherson (Tiny Towns); Phil Walker-Harding (Mistfit Heroes); Josh Wood (Cat Lady, Let's Go! to Japan) and many more!
