reSpecialized Project v.60 - The Diplomat Review Update

The Master Design Doc with links to all current and previous releases can be found here

And the Development Discord is at The reSpecialized Project

Hello SWRPG Community! After a moderately-sized break, we’re back with another update! The fall should bring you all tons of new content (Guardian is already feature-complete fyi!), so don’t worry about this becoming the new pace of development.

As is customary, my highlights for the release; This time, I’ll say my favorite review was the Quartermaster, as we managed to develop it from a spec I merely liked to one I would be very happy playing. The new structure of Well-Supplied alone creates a fun gameplay loop! My second highlight was Call In A Favor. I have always found the Colonist to be the odd-duck career, because their shared Career story is that they have come from away and are seeking opportunity. More of a “why” than a “what” or a “how.” Call In A Favor leans into their their power is the connections they are armed with on their adventures.

The hardest one this time around was likely Ambassador. The Leia specialization is such a chocked-full spec, getting the flow of it right was pretty tough. But I think we greatly improved on the previous iteration.

Well that’s it for this update! Stay tuned for Guardian and Swoop Ganger coming too you soon!
