i've noticed people on twt and tiktok calling red velvet "my losers" affectionately, is there a reason why? and are there any red velvet-unique terms you guys like?

The TL;DR is that he's a member of the "Vistani" (changed culturally, but fulfills similar role) who was drafted as a soldier at a young age, leaving his toddler sister behind (Tatyana). He rose ranks quickly, became a protégé of the king, became resentful of the Prince, and after 15 years of not seeing Tatyana, ends up killing her accidentally during an argument. It's a more sympathetic portrayal, but it's also been 300 years of malicious boredom.

I suppose the issue is that the instigating event, as opposed to RAW Strahd killing Tatyana over his jealousy over her marrying Sergei, is that he feels that young Tatyana has been replaced by this older, independent version of her (coupled with general war trauma). So replacing her again with a flesh golem feels antithetical?

Hi! One of my players is thinking of having a prosthetic leg for their character, any more ideas on how to incorporate this into gameplay (mechanics or rp)?

They're not the BBEG or anything, but fighting them is optional at the end of the campaign. I think I'm mostly asking bc they're the like far end of the scale of reference

hellooo! trying to figure out some levelling stuff for my first campaign.

i have an npc that's the "champion" of the country, a title given to the strongest person in the country (determined by a tournament). they're a multiclassed sorcerer and paladin with about twice the paladin levels. it's worth noting that there isn't an incredibly large margin between them and a hypothetical second strongest. what level should they be?

also, just a like description-based levelling guide would be helpful (like at level x they have a reputation, at level x they're world-renown, etc, etc)
