Roll Playing 2 #4

[Daphne]

Everything is going according to plan… but *whose* plan?



Script: Daphne • Art and Lettering: Sturkwurk

Yes master

[crazydorian]

Already?  Sturktober extends to Sturkvember.

[GodWilling]

Some people will no doubt be going Sturkrazy; I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the next Cuckoo's Nest before Christmas.

Heck Ya! I am so pumped for more of this series. Thanks for more of this awesome series.

I always figured Sturk was the "fill-in" artist; like, when there's a gap in the deliveries of other artists, Daphne pulls on Sturk to plug the gap. We might just be in a lull in deliveries for whatever reason. "Sturktober" was kind of genius branding to make a long lull seem like a positive.

Sturk's titles are among our most popular (based on favorites)… we never think of them as filler!

I meant that in more of a release timing sense; wasn't meant to be a knock on Sturk or the quality of those titles. Sorry if it came off that way.

Really my impression is that Sturk is (without shitting on the other artists; art takes time) extremely punctual.

That is unquestionably true! (Although praise also to Plutonian Knight and Octavia Moon, who are like clockwork as well.)

Praise to them indeed; it must be extremely difficult to keep producing such good quality art to such a regular and demanding timetable.

And don't let's forget Daphne as well, keeping the quality up whilst maintaining the schedule with input (and, I'm sure, problems) from all directions all the time can't be an easy life. It must feel a bit like the plate spinner at the circus at times. Maybe all the time...

Enjoyed this issue very much.  I wonder if the slave girl is the succubus that was formerly possessing Anjania.

The timing between the succubi being banished in volume 1, and this new slave girl showing up probably means that if it is the same succubus, she probably wasn't involved with Melarue's sister's abduction, but demons are nothing if not resourceful.

It doesn't surprise me that Sturk's titles are among the most popular.  Roll Playing, along with Beyond Rubies, has been one of the titles that almost guarantees me renewing my subscription if I've let it lapse.  

Now that the transformations have begun for this volume (in and out of character), I wonder if we'll see something with the elf twins.  Would be nifty to see either Anne and Bethany showing up as them at the gaming table, or Anne taking on Bethany's appearance when she plays the sister


(I know this is way down the road too, but would be interesting to see this group playing other genres in future volumes, or bonus comics.)

Hmmm, yes, do like, but is it weird I want more fantasy elements? And kinky creature sex? Will settle for more TF action in the meantime though.

By the bye, Olusha and Ajanaia mimicking the actions of Melisande and the possessed slave girl because their humans are pulling double RP duty was comedy gold. To say nothing of Sara’s improvisation that Erisa and Melarue should practice girl-girl things in lieu of any Masters to please.

And to touch on some of the previous discussion, the promptness and punctuality of releases here is always very much appreciated, if not as regularly praised as it deserves.

Like Clockwork

An artist is hypnotized by a client's clock.

I was going to ask this in the relevant issues (#1), but that thread is a year old now.

Any chance those who weren't members at the time will be able to buy "Bluebooking" soon?
