Hello all. A am a GM who owns about 7 SWRPG books. A few days ago I got a piece of Software called Role Playing Master,and Im looking to see if anyone knows where the SWRPG rules can be gotten online. Thanks.

I don't think you're going to find it - legally, at least; the d20 Star Wars system is closed content, even though based on d20, and unless I'm mistaken you may have to enter that info yourself if you want it in there. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help, though. You can always check Luke's site (the Roleplaying Master home site) to be certain.

I havent really used the software yet, is it any good?

it's not my favorite choice (PC Gen is), but it is quite good. if you want more tutorial info on getting the best use out of it, Luke has some great info on his site.

Time for terminology check:

The open license material is not "d20". It is "SRD" and falls under the OGL. Star Wars is not SRD, so it does not fall under the OGL. Star Wars is a "d20" game, not an "OGL" game. It does make a difference. Publish an "OGL" game with the claim that it is a "d20" game, and Hasbro will get grumpy. Since Star Wars is d20, its rules content is not "open". Since the setting is likewise licensed from Lucas, Hasbro is likely to be quite punctilious about such matters.

I'd check out the unofficial yahoo group.
