Wow, all this coffee hate up in here. It’s my favorite beverage, sweet ambrosia, nectar of the gods!!
Sweet ambrosia? Nectar of the gods? That is tea, not coffee.
Coffee is the devil’s brew. It tastes like it was wrung out of an orc’s loincloth.
There is normal sweet tea and then there is my Dad’s sweet tea. My Dad does not have a little sugar with his tea, he has a little tea with his sugar.

Boy does all this sound familiar - I’m the only coffee drinker in my family and I like mine hot as hell and black as sin, my sister is a tea drinker and allergic to coffee and mom and dad were both tea drinkers with having learned tea in Japan years ago.
I saw one mention of it, and chuckled, because those of the South by heritage know the importance of Sweet tea and how it differs from sweetened tea.
Iced tea is a useful thing -- and about the only kind of tea one can get in a restaurant easily and without fuss. Without it, I am not sure the South could have survived, lol.
As a note, I drink my tea light and sweet, and my current favorite blend is the Prince of Wales style. I have nine different teas here, plus three blends, none of them the "herbal" ones. Yesterday, as a direct result of this thread, I had me a pitcher of tea made with green and white tea.
My coffee I like the way I like myself -- sweet and creamy, lol. Although my lack of sun has paled me a bit, I have historically liked enough cream in my coffee to make it match my own skin tone. And I do mean cream: heavy cream, dolloped into it. When feeling fancy I drop it in a charger and make whipped cream for it. No ND Creamer for me. Also, I am known to make my coffee into a slushy or an ice cream.
Also, I like to add Malt to my coffee on occasion. regular or chocolate -- malted milk is great with coffee (and malts, and creamy soups, and...).
My only big issue with both is that I drink a lot of it during the day -- and sunday through thursday I have to stop at 4 pm, lol. Unwatched, I will drink about a gallon of either in a given day. And if I don't drink them, I am drinking Soda, which is why I try harder to drink them -- soda is too easy and too much gah for me.

Good gravy, neither. I've never understood the appeal of coffee (smells wretched to me), and Tea has never tasted good (the various I've tried - though I stopped trying teas about ten+ years ago).
I concur. Coffee just smells awful, and I always feel more chipper in the morning than my friends that drink coffee… Tea is just dirty water to me. Any I’ve tried have just been unpleasant
I admit to loving the smell of coffee. It may taste like sewage but it sure does smell nice.
I will also add that while I do enjoy my Father's sweet tea, which could rot the teeth off a tooth fairy, I don't put a lot of sugar in tea when I make it. I often forget and don't notice.
Oh, yeah. My wife drinks that. I’m not a fan, I just don’t like sweet teas, not unless it’s a good, dark, bitter English breakfast tea or something, and even then I barely sugar it.
Wow. this is exactly the reason we got moved to Adohands. regardless, i don't drink coffee because caffeine makes me super annoying and jittery, it also is horrible for my anxiety, even though its mild. and i have never tried tea simply because i do not see the appeal. My sister drinks tea, my dad drinks coffee, and my mom drinks both, but i'm the only one in my family who doesn't drink anything, well besides gatorade, i have a strange gatorade addiction and i don't know why. Todays Question:
If you lived in your homebrew world as an adventurer, what god would you worship? what would your stats be?

Theres a thread for changing names. I was ACHER until i got it fixed to PJtheARCHER.
Nice! I have often wondered what Acher meant, lol.
The only homebrew world I've got at the moment has only one god. So I'm guessing I would worship that. It's called the Night Sky and it's basically just the "god works in mysterious ways" / "everything happens for a reason" aspect of Christianity. It was actually invented by monsters to plaster over all the gods and spirits that people used to worship before the monster takeover. It is counter-revolutionary by nature, teaching people to simply accept their fate and that there's no higher powers that can help them.
The Night Sky is dark. If you look up and see little points of light, you have to ignore them. They are a test of your faith, or maybe they're the Night Sky's enemies trying to trick you. The Night Sky is dark.

Kind of isulting. Put something sweet in it like honey. And ill have you know its not just dirty water. Thats like saying water is just minerals (what am i talking about?)
Not meant to be insulting. It’s just what it tastes like to me.
If you lived in your homebrew world as an adventurer, what god would you worship?
what would your stats be?
that's two questions...
... says the pedantic as hell young lass from Dorado. She's been in trouble since before she was a juvenal, and getting her to apprentice to any of the local folks in Derier was never something that was going to happen. Like a lot of folks, she says when you live in the ass end of the world, in a sea of sand, you can either buckle down or go naked.
Given her stubborn streak, that she was marked to follow Cikory (Chicory) isn't a surprise. Even less when she chose (unsurprisingly) to take the Rite of Variance in her 15th year before she went off to apprentice to some damn fool adventurer in Deseray instead of Dorado proper. What was a surprise to many was that she took the oaths of a Gunslinger, as she was never the most physically tough of the kids around her. She is Baptized to Antelle and Paria, as well. Between the Spirit of the World, the Power That Is best known for being friendly with mortals, and the Enby Power best known for wandering, it seems she's got a Shrine within walking distance no matter what. Now if only she had any marked degree of Piety...
She's pretty typical in her strength, with a higher than average dexterity, a deep constitution, has a fair degree of knowledge, a bunch of wisdom, about average charisma, and is markedly perceptive and startlingly sane, given she comes from Derier and there is a demon there feeds on kids. Where average is 10, she rates no higher than a 14, but nothing under average, and given she's only just come out of apprenticeship, at 20 years old, she's got room to grow.
And she plans to do so.
But that's RustlinD'karo in a nutshell.
Ask tomorrow and I will now have another, lol.
(Edit: I should note that Rustlin is an Incarnate, which is a form of origin background wherein the person is the Incarnation of another -- the standard isekai/mirror/woods trope of reincarnation in another world -- and so has all the memories of her past life [in this case, me, as dictated] as well as the memories of growing up in Wyrlde. She is also trans, hence the rite of variance, and one of her motivations is getting enough to pay for the permanent form of the ritual as opposed to the year and a day version she usually can afford.)

I use a semi-homebrewed version of Mystara, where there are immortals instead of gods and they don’t actually need worshipers. Also, every nation and race have various patron immortals, so it would likely depend on where exactly I would be from to determine which immortal I might be an adherent of if any. But probably either Halav or Rad.
As for my stats… I suppose that depends. What level am I? Rolled stats, standard array, or point buy?
We have so much in common. Lol

Coffee rules. I drink decaf coffee sometimes, just so I can drink more coffee at times when it would be bad to have the caffeine.
I don't drink coffee that much honestly. Rarely will I have more than one serving in a day, which is usually just a mug. I do like it though.
Uggg, 🤢🤮. Never sugar in my tea. Never.

I like coffee black, though I have to drink half-caf or my anxiety goes bananas.

Also called bubble tea, boba tea is a sweet milky tea with tapioca pearls in it. It is pretty good. I have a couple friends who are obsessed with it.
