So we found a Deck of Many Things and my brother, the DM pulled up a random generator for the cards. Me, being a lowkey gambler wanted to enthusiastically pull from it, while everyone else was wary.
DM: “Alright… You got… The Throne…” DM: “…” Me: “What is it?” DM: “You get the deed to a Keep.” Me: “Ooooh! I draw again.” The DM proceeds to grumble a bit more, setting his phone down angrily. DM: “It’s another Keep…” Me: “O-Oh… I pull… again?” The entire party is now yelling at me to not test my luck, but I don’t care. The DM starts laughing maniacally, as the DM does. DM: “A feeling of dread washes over you… -4 to all saving throws…” The entire party shrieks at me for the rest of the session while revoking my card privileges.

Hey someone PLEASE explain what playersexual means before I have a stroke and die
“playersexual,” despite sounding like a completely awful, horrible word, means NPCs can be attracted to whatever the character assigns as their gender.
I see doubt in the notes so just wanted to say that YES, this is a unicellular organism! This is a species from a genus of green algae called Caulerpa, which are a siphonous algae. The frond shapes, the “rhizomes” it grows from, and the “roots” it extends into substrate are all extensions of a single multi-nucleate cell. Here’s what a siphonous alga looks like under a microscope, with no divisions in its cytoplasm:
It’s not the only algae like this, either! Caulerpa is a member of order Bryopsidales, which are all siphonous. Here’s some more macroscopic single cell algae:
Codium fragile, or dead man’s fingers. This one is a single long noodle of a cell with swollen growths on the outside called urtricles, packed together to create a firm “skin.”
Halimenia, a calcified algae whose shed growths are responsible for a lot of the beautiful white sand on tropical beaches:
Acetabularia
or mermaid’s wine glass, the adorable mushrooms of the sea:
Algae? Is actually very cool. And you can’t convince me otherwise.
My husband is evil. Very, very evil. He finally got to DM for a group we were a part of. He learned about them, what they did and didn’t know. As I already stated, he’s evil.
So the party entered a town…
DM: Fog begins to appear out of nowhere
Me (rogue): We need to leave NOW!
Warrior: Why? It’s just fog?
Wizard: What’s wrong?
Me (to DM, ooc): You are NEVER DMing again.
DM just smiles.
The party discuses what to do. I try to explain what’s happening and the other’s still don’t get it. No matter how hard I try, they insist on continuing.
DM (when decision is made): Welcome to Ravenloft.
