Outstanding work, this!

That was an amazing read. it really did do a good job of creating a fulfilling immersion in the game.

I take it back NC SOFT is enough evil for anyone...
Extremely enjoyable, and I know quite a few people to share this with.
Great Job and hope to see more to come . Keep up the great work.

If they ask the devs nicely, they might get one to toss into each issue, something like how the devs gave some out for the winners of the Player's Choice AE arc contest this year.

This magazine is gorgeous and really inspiring for the dabbler in fashion design, screenshot mojo, and superbase feng shui. Your keen eye for color and cohesiveness makes me want to dive right into the game and create for hours! The magazine is so stylish that I'd buy it off the rack in a second. A project like this will really drive me to push harder to use the game tools as creatively as I can in the future.
This is one of my favorite things about CoH EVER. Brilliantly done from start to finish. You really know your Vogue AND your CoH. From the location shots to the ads, everything is wonderful! You got the layout of the magazine down perfectly and even used the game's limitations to excellent effect. I'll never look at the mannequin faces and stilted poses of the denizens of Paragon City the same way ever again!
Gotta admit, not being a "fashionable" person, I didn't expect much from this. I was pleasantly surprised, because I thought it was exceptionally cool. It does look really polished, and I can tell you've put a lot of time and effort into it. Can wait for the next issue!
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Great stuff!

Awesome job! Cannot wait for the next issue.
Amazing and very professional looking. This should be on your resume if you aren't already in the business.
I'm actually the Magazine guy at a Big bookstore and I wish I could put this magazine on the shelf! It would be awesome. Thank you for sharing that!
This is really well done. I'm impressed by how 'professional' it looks.

When can we expect the all male CG version?
Really incredible! Amazingly professional looking. Kudos to you.

I enjoyed the magazine alot...it had alot of things that reminded me of other fashion like magazines....but this one was excellent as it was all game related.
I think it would be neat to see more these magazines.
And it would especialy be neat to see differing super groups in each one...though i bet that would take quite a bit of time to do.

I agree I would love to see a male GQ version or Maybe Men's Health.

Very nice! I think Jophiel said it best: "a nice balance between just goofy spoofing and some actual usable material."
It was fun spotting those I've already seen. I remember hanging out near the cute gray-and-pink number (from page 4's Cruel Summer photo) at the 7th Anniversary event party in Pocket D. Got a special screenshot of the outfit there because it worked so well.
And I am in awe of the SG base. Just, wow.
Thanks also for all the tailor tips, tricks, and patterns throughout. Back to the costume creator!
Wow, I'm impressed. Though I never read these kinds of magazines in RL, I really really like what you guys did with the opportunities the game has to offer.
Awesome work!
This was really fantastic! And I'm no fashion magazine guy. I'm hoping Rogue has a men's issue soon!

Beware tho, there's a lot of conflicting info and terms used interchangeably around... I have no definitive answer
Look at these two quotes for example -.- This site claims to use it in what sounds like an interesting way, but look at the quote after this one too, seems no one can decide what exactly print-on-demand is: poetspress.org

Lulu is not our publisher: like many other small presses, we use Lulu as a commercial printer, retaining our own identity, catalog, and ISBN number. Using print-on-demand for the physical book makes sense. Because we do not have to invest in a warehouse full on unsold dead-tree books, we can concentrate on designing and producing more books. Poet's Press books are sold directly from publisher to reader via our online bookstore. Because we are not using distributors and bricks-and-mortar bookstores, we can keep our prices reasonable and pay our authors a decent royalty for every copy sold. All publishers, large and small, are dealing with the realities of the new digital world. The age of the printed book is now coming to an end, and this is good news for poets. The text is liberated from the medium of the book at last. We intend to make as much poetry as possible available at the most reasonable cost — free if the author is willing to publish their work on-line. A recent book from our press sold a few hundred copies in ink-on-paper, while the e-book version had 10,000+ free reader downloads. We are more interested in live, responsive readers than in transporting, storing and selling little assemblages of paper, ink and glue. So yes, we print books, but we now regard the printed book as a by-product, available for those who want them. The real act of making books is to write, to edit, to design and to publish them, publish in its original sense of "to send abroad." For our roster of dead poets, publishing online in PDF format is making their work available to posterity. For our living poets, it establishes connections with new readers and may lead to other publications, live readings and teaching opportunities. |

First, let me start off by correcting a common misperception. Lulu is not a Print-On-Demand (POD) company or a vanity press. It is a do-it-yourself publishing service that allows you to publish a variety of media [..] Unlike a vanity press or POD company, Lulu will not charge you any setup fees to publish your book or require you to order a minimum number of books. The only money that Lulu makes is from the commission of your book sales, which is 20% for each copy sold. Neither do they trap your publishing rights with exclusivity clauses. That means that you have total control of how your book’s format, design, price, and where it is sold. Lulu does offer several publishing services packages, which range from $369 to $4,500, depending on which package you want. While I’ve never used their packages, I find myself leery of them because of Lulu’s chronic customer service complaints. |

For those who don't get the reference (hidden behind link cos I realised that it could be taken another way. I don't mean the word in a sexist insulting way, just solely aesthetics
(and I'm bi so don't jump to any conclusions there lol, I'm just saying that objectively )
Made a www.j.mp Link to pass to people ingame, nice and short so saves on copypasting, is human-rememberable:

Link to this thread (thinking of when more issues come out):
j.mp/roguemag
or
j.mp/cityoffashion (or cityfashion, or cityofashion)
Anyway, proper reply:
Is cool! Shame that the blurry texture quality (even on high) when zooming in, and the lack of facial expressions (we need something like FallenEarth.com's face emote system) lets you down though, but you did what you can and still made it look cool mostly.
They really need to do a big revamp of character models and skins in the same way that they did ultra mode as mainly affecting the cities - the characters still look 90s/2000ish really compared to Champions (with the horrible cartoon effect turned off in their graphics options, anyway)
