Hiding is my Specialty

So we were playing a campaign where I was a really short elf rogue, and I would roll really high numbers for stealth but stupidly low numbers for anything else. An example of this:

Me: I stealthily stab the goblin in the back with both daggers. *rolls a 5 and a 1*

DM: you miss with one dagger, and stab yourself with the other and scream in pain. Roll stealth.

Me: *rolls nat 20*

DM: the goblin has no fucking clue you’re there.

Another example:

Me: I stealthily cross the stream! *rolls a 1*

DM: you’re now drowning in 2 inches of water, take 2 drowning damage. Congratulations. Roll stealth.

Me: *rolls 19*

DM: no one knows you’re there, you look like a fucking rock

*our dragonborn barbarian proceeds to step on my head when he crosses the stream because he couldn’t see me*

Nostalgia attack! a color practice with one of the draws of my sketchbook, it´s been probably ten years since I drew Inuyasha, one of the first mangas I read. His series is way too long, but his design is so iconic and fun.

What’s the different between dark mori and post apocalyptic fashion??? And strega for that matter

I’m not personally familiar with strega fashion, but mori originally came from japan, where the point was to look like an otherworldly forest spirit– hence why it’s called “mori,” which means “forest” in japanese.

Dark mori is a more western take on “goth-ing” that up, and has resulted in blending more witchy styles with japanese mori silhouettes. I often think of dark mori like fashion banshees and general unseelie type vibes, but the general point is it should feel dark but from the forest or with a “nature” aura.

Post apoc fashion on the other hand is highly inspired by science fiction, and is essentially a way to fashionize the styles we like from movies. Mad max without spiky armor, star wars tatooine or jakku fashion, etc. Post apoc fash often focuses more on the “desert wasteland” direction of speculative fiction, and uses sun-protecting layers as well as a lot of dusty colors (charcoals, dusty tans, etc). I’ve also noticed a lot of sedated military greens, and general light inspiration from military utility items to give the clothes a more faux-practical look. There’s usually a ruined industrial feeling to it

And as a final note, a lot of fashion trends inspire each other, so there will always be a lot of overlap especially in smaller scenes. There are convergent evolutions too, so while styles may have started in different areas or from a different background, sometimes they’ll end up looking similar just because of what’s popular at the time (like currently streetwear is still pretty obsessed with drop-crotch silhouettes, etc)
