You know, it's a good thing I don't work at Paizo. I'm exactly the kind of guy who would hide the coffee and watch as everyone freaks.

Beer vs Coffee? No, no, no. You're doing it wrong. Its Beer AND Coffee.

"And then Tels, the newest employee, was never seen again. Some say that on cold mornings when it is still early and dark out, those sleep- and caffeine-deprived may catch a reflection of an ectoplasmic hand attempting to snatch away their brewed java nectar."

I guess Mountain Dew Throwback is hard to come by up in Seattle. Otherwise it would probably just send the whole region over the edge into caffeinated frenzy.

Try Mountain Dew Voltage, it has Ginsing, really gets you energized and awake.


I sadly have been banned from caffeinated soda, doctor's orders.

I manage to get by with hot cocoa when the weather allows, but that's it.

Problem right there. HFCS is nasty. Pure Cane Sugar tastes better and is, arguably at least, less terrible for you. Throwback is made with the real stuff.

Yeah, me too. Doctor: "No caffeine AT ALL!"

Me: (whimpering) "Not even chocolate?"

Doctor: "I'd strongly recommend against it."

Nurse: "So you have to bring it all here and leave it at the nurses' station."

My thoughts on beer and coffee some days.

Also, if you hid the coffee...I'm not sayin' what would happen. I'm just sayin' that there would be consequences.

Dire. Consequences.

So, just to be clear, these would be the larger, more aggressive and primal cousins to the smaller and more common consequences, correct?

Also, do dire consequences have bony growths along their hides like dire bears? And if so, why? I mean, honestly, I never understood the bony growth thing ...

Do Dire Consequences have an increased natural armor and damage dice on their attacks? Also, do they gain some sort of poison, or rend attack?

It's to differentiate them from the other bears.

And so the dire bears can feel pseudo-superior. You know, like the star-bellied Sneetches.

Noooooo!!!

I mean ...

So in late 1960's London, a young Irishman named Sean O'Donnell took a job in a bank. His boss was an annoying man who took to calling him Paddy due to his Irish heritage. To make matters worse, whenever Sean would make a mistake, his employer would slap him in the back of the head. But Sean would not be baited and over a few years he worked his way up from teller to the loan department.

On his first day as a loan officer, a frog walked into the bank, introduced himself as Gribbit Richards and asked for a loan.

A bit puzzled, never having seen a walking, talking frog before, and worried someone may have spiked his tea with some sort off hallucinogen, Sean paused and then asked if the frog had any collateral.

The frog nodded and pulled a shiny bauble from his pocket. Sean was even more perplexed.

With a bit of hesitation, Sean went to ask his boss what to do.

Upon hearing the situation, his boss replied:

Spoiler:
"It's a nick-nack, Paddy", <*WHACK*>,"Give the frog a loan! His old man's a Rolling Stone."

<prepares to be taxed heavily and to see JMD031 roll a 1>

There is no such thing as a bad pun.

It's certainly better than being a poet, since after all, rhyme does not pay.

I joined an online pun contest awhile ago, and tried to win with 10 different entries, but I didn't even come close to placing.
