WotC Announces: Star Wars RPG Saga Edition
Published on 21 July 2006 03:22 PM
The Q1 WotC product catalogue has come out, it seems, and in it is some more information about the big project that Owen K.C. Stephens and I worked on together. After Amazon.com broke the news on the book early, I didn't know whether or not I could mention it, so I waited until the catalogue came out to post the announcement here. Regardless, here is the information on the product:
Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Saga Edition
Owen K.C. Stephens and Rodney Thompson*
This new edition of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game encapsulates all six feature films while presenting a thorough revision of the rules, making the game easier to learn while improving the overall play experience.
