Wizards of the Coast launched a new podcast dedicated to its Star Wars Role-Playing Game, providing more evidence that WotC's getting more serious about supporting the RPG side of its Star Wars offerings.

The first episode features designer Rodney Thompson talking about the Saga Edition rules and running SW campaigns. Check out the show by visiting the Star Wars game home page or download the file directly. Wizards has also been featuring more and more RPG content on the site, including articles about Behind the Threat: The Sith and Star Wars: The Musical Experience, Part 1.

A glance at the news archive also reveals the new "Message to Spaces" and "Bounty Offerings" columns. It's all good stuff, and it's all making the game feel less like a contractual obligation and more like a full-blown, fully-supported game.
