Myth-Weavers, an online gaming site that hosts play-by-post roleplaying games, announces the release of a new Star Wars online character sheet as part of its increased support for the Star Wars RPG.

The character sheets include automatic calculation of many statistics and are integrated with Myth-Weavers' sheet-rolling system, which allows players to make rolls in game posts that automatically use the right modifiers. A sample sheet has been made available for the public.

These Star Wars sheets are available free at Myth-Weavers, where membership and game hosting are also free.

Anticipated Star Wars-themed PC RTS wages war next week; single-player sampling features five tutorials, one galactic conquest.

In space, no one can hear you scream--but that won't stop Star Wars fans from whooping and hollering next week. On Wednesday, January 18 at 9 a.m. PST, GameSpot will premiere the single-player demo of Star Wars: Empire at War for the PC. The full version will hit retail stores on February 16.

The demo will feature five tutorials that lay down the game mechanics for Empire at War, as well as one galactic conquest mode map to put what gamers have learned to test. A sample of recognizable units will be included in the demo, with the full roster being available next month in the retail version.
