Alderac Entertainment Group (abbreviated
AEG) is the company which currently controls the
creative process for the
Legend of the Five Rings games, of all sorts. (
Wizards of the Coast owns the
financial interests for the
CCG) They will soon (year 2001) lose control over the creative process for the CCG, but they will maintain control over the
RPG, the
wargame named
Clan Wars, and the
Diskwars adaption. They also produce everything for
7th Sea (
CCG,
RPG, they also produce
miniatures without an accompanying
wargame) they used to own
Pinnacle Entertainment Group, but recently split up with that company (with no harsh feelings between the two), but they still produce materials for some of Pinnacle's products:
Doomtown (
CCG,
RPG named
Deadlands,
wargame named
Rail Wars) and
Brave New World (RPG)
Update: AEG just bought back the rights to control everything concerning the Legend of the Five Rings card game as well as all the other things that they produce for that game. In addition, in recent years they have released
Warlord: Saga of the Storms as well as a few
Adventurer's Keep modules for the
d20 System. Finally, they have axed the Doomtown CCG.
