Coffee?

[LeapingShark]

They have "Percolator" listed in the Arms & Equipment Guide; it's 1 gp, 1 lbs, and my favorite part: the contents of a full boiling percolator deal 1d3 points of heat damage; max range 5'

Tea is popular in my campaign for the characters who avoid drinking ale. Coffee is rare but exists, and I never use the meta-word coffee, it's always some fantasy equivalent, like "Zasprizzo".

We have three standards in the current campaign

#1 -- salted buttermilk

#2 -- small beer (aka near beer -- like water, but safer to drink!)

#3 -- xicotl (aka cocoa, but with no milk or sugar, sometimes with pepper ground in -- for fancy times jalpenos and harbeneros are added!)

Odd, but fits the world and time we are in

Does your campaign offer coffee? Maybe only in certain places? Tea instead? Nothing at all?

Tell us about your morning beverages.

What about Chocolate??!

Don't improvise it however, for there is a FREE netbook covering this sole subject:
The d20 Netbook of Chocolate
Available on this webpage!!

In a tavern, that would be remains from the supper (soup, stew, whatever meat was on the menu) and/or milk/bread/cheese. Sometimes tea, if available. That's for an "average" medieval inn.

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

In my siblings campaign (currently on hiatus), some of the larger trading cities have begun to import khef, a very popular Dorian (hobgoblin) drink. Bard the Bear-Man has become very fond of it

In AU/E, the Dracha are listed as preferring "strong, spiced coffee."

What do you have in your game that takes the place of a morning cuppa joe for the pcs?

Honestly, I hate that kind of anachronism. Starting the day with coffee, orange juice, and cereal screams "late 20th-century America" to me.

 

[Mr. T]

All of my martially inclined characters drink coffeee. It's black with buckshot (sugar). My other characters (except dwarves) all drink tea. My dwarves drink diluted beer.

Honestly, I hate that kind of anachronism. Starting the day with coffee, orange juice, and cereal screams "late 20th-century America" to me.

Huh. Whereas, to me, a cup of coffee to start off the day sounds much more like 18th- and 19th-Century England, France, rest of Europe, Persia, etc.

Coffee's an old drink. Tea's probably even older.

 

[Obscure]

So here I am, pouring a cup of coffee for my morning... and it occurs to me, what do you have in your game that takes the place of a morning cuppa joe for the pcs?
