And before anyone asks: Bluebooking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game_terms#B).

Oh that's what's going on...

I couldn't figure out who it was that Alex was playing with. But I see that Joy's gone blonde.

Huh? No, Joy's still a brunette. Her character's blonde.

I was a bit confused on who he was playing with until I read the description. Looks like the facial features on Joy have been tweaked since the final installment of Roll Playing. Most of Sturks stuff has gotten noticeably better in the last couple of years. This was a pretty good bonus, I do hope to see more in this series.

Hot. A. F.

However, what happened to Joy's luscious locks from the Mainline series? Totally cool with changing her hair/model for the next Campaign, but as this seems to take place immediately after the stinger from #11... my continuity hackles have been raised  :(

Different character!

Wait, what? The brunette, in the green pullover, getting tamed by the Gem of Taming, is a different person? Daphne, you jest. I guess I wasn't clear, what with this series being about characters who themselves have characters. I got that Elysande is different from Ajanaia. What I'm grousing about is Joy herself having too different a hairstyle for a story seemingly set 1-minute after the end of Roll Playing #11 (https://mindcontrolcomics.com/comics/roll_playing/i11/p28). Especially since I liked her hair the way it was :-[

I've got that annoying voice in my head asking what happens to Joy's real life and commitments while she's playing Elysande full time.

So I thought I'd share.

People beat me up when I do that in SJI. :)

Now that I'm done complaining about trivialities, may I put in my vote for us to see the other half (https://mindcontrolcomics.com/comics/roll_playing/i11/p26) of the aftermath at some point down the line?

It should be noted that the layout in this issue works really well when viewed in something that supports dual page display. The pages match up beautifully, whether in the middle where the two worlds are mirroring each other, or with the inter-panel progression at the beginning and end. I'll say it again, stellar work by both of you on this series.

Funny that. The first "Draft" of my game world (AKA the DM notes) sits in a place of pride on my shelf. In the original blue duotang from '87.

I changed Joy's hair for a very good reason - it took way too long to render as it was. Several hours per image if I had the hair file cast shadows. So I changed it to a better made file that didn't eat up render time. Sorry it's a shock, but it was that or have weird looking hair with no shadows or I'd still be rendering the project.

Nice! Most of my stuff is electronic these days, but I have my hard-copy treasures, including the Planescape boxed set (such a wonderful setting).

Thank you for replying. If I had my druthers, her curls would have gotten one last hurrah here, but that's a real minor concern and this is a bonus after all.

If I may ask another question though, did you tweak her model as well? With all the morphing and effects in this series, it's hard (for me) to tell when someone is looking like their real selves and when some magical happenings are going down. Especially with respect to their irises. It may just be Joy's new hair, but Elysande (https://mindcontrolcomics.com/comics/roll_playing_bonus_bluebook/i01/p09) almost looks more like her (https://mindcontrolcomics.com/comics/roll_playing/i11/p28) at the end of Roll Playing than she does herself (https://mindcontrolcomics.com/comics/roll_playing_bonus_bluebook/i01/p10), facial structure-wise. Not grumpy or anything, just curious if I'm seeing things.

If it changed at all, it's not intentional. I have been updating my files, but that just affects texture settings, not the textures or the morphs.  I also do a higher level of polygon subdivision than I used to, that would smooth her features just a touch and the new Joy does have slightly different boobs then before.  I started out by loading the base Joy file and updating it. Then I created her in game doppleganger from there. The iris texture should be the same on both and the same as she had originally.  Then again, she did go through a lot of eye color changes during her transformation... it's not like it's been 6 months of work either, Roll Playing has been running for almost 4 YEARS.

I feel so old.

oh yeah, it's still the same file.
Compare this... https://mindcontrolcomics.com/comics/roll_playing_bonus_bluebook/i01/p14 from the first issue to this https://mindcontrolcomics.com/comics/roll_playing_bonus_bluebook/i01/p14

Same across the board. Well except for the hair.  :P

Better not take a gander over this way then: http://www.mcstories.com/Authors/Daphne.html *whistles*



Yeah, page 14 does look more like her. It's amazing how much hair and a different angle can change the look of a person, to me at least. Anyway, thank you again for your awesome work!

I feel kind of bad because I came here to say much the same thing.

Great issue, and nice to see Joy playing another character.  I hope Elysande shows up in the main Roll Playing titles as well at some point. If you do more along these lines, either with Alex and Joy, Alex and one of the other ladies...or maybe two other players finding that the magic still affects them if they're bluebooking between sessions, I'd certainly enjoy them. :D

I will say that I did Joy's old hairstyle more, but I do thank SturkWurk for explaining the change.  If it is saves hours of rendering time, then it is worth it, and Joy's new style still looks great.

I feel so old, If you think about it SJI have been running for about 8 year and been here from start almost

.

It's coming up! June 16 will be our 8th anniversary.

Shares it's birthday with IBM and the Ford Motor Companty, and who can forget Rudolf Nureyev defecting and Yazdegerd III ascending to the throne?

Your binary millenium sounds so much more impressive.... ;)

And enough of this getting old stuff. Ladies do not get old; like good wine they mature.

How many is that in porn years?

Way into MILF territory by now.

Mind Influencing Literate Fapping

MILF, that's like, 25, right? Or have we progressed to 28?

Of course. Because these are totally real people in real situations and they have people who depend on them and so on. What did you expect?
