Alderac Entertainment Group, or AEG, is a publisher of role-playing game and collectible card game products. AEG was formed in 1993 and is based in the city of Ontario, California. Prior to getting into their current markets, AEG was involved in hobby gaming magazines, with their first product the magazine "Shadis" (winner of the 1994, 1995, and 1996 Origins Awards for "Best Professional Gaming Magazine" [cite web|url=http://www.originsgamefair.com/awards/1994/list-of-winners|title=Origins Award Winners (1994)] [cite web|url=http://www.originsgamefair.com/awards/1995/list-of-winners|title=Origins Award Winners (1995)] [cite web|url=http://www.originsgamefair.com/awards/1996/list-of-winners|title=Origins Award Winners (1996)] ).
