Anybody know or hear about when the revision to the SW RPG (for ROTS) will come out?

I don't think its in the plans currently. There hasn't been a new SWRPG release in a year, and I don't see anything in the works.

For reasons I only vaguely recall at this point, the SW RPG took it in the neck last year. No more new products from Wizards.

Damn, not another 'D20 SUX0RS!!11!' 'Nuh-uh! STFU N00B!!' thread.

For what it's worth, D20 rules!!!

Wizards axed Star Wars D20 because sales did not validate production cost

Does anyone have a link to this news that Wizard axed SW RPG? Because I would really fucking like to know about it.

I think the D20 suits SW quite well, because it is "adjusted" version from D&D, more intense, more faster, more fun....although there are some problems, but overally it is working fine

I figured that WOTC gear their marketing towards their SW Miniatures game... sure it can be used for the RPG as well, but RPG gamers are a small subset of SW Mini players. So, I guess the suits told them to market towards the larger audience instead of the niche.

Far as I know it isn't axed.

They just have no new products in the pipeline, focusing more on the much more profitable miniatures game. Doesn't mean there won't be new SWD20 products, but doesn't mean there will, either. it was implied on the Wizards forums that the line was in a holding pattern.

I read it months ago on Wizards site (October IIRC). I'm sure if you go there and look up the SW RPG you'll be able to find it.
