Original Characters: A D&D Table Talk Podcast: Recent Episodes
Anfern Gelberg
Star Wars English Class host Fern (@alwaysfern) invites guests to discuss their most beloved D&D player characters
*CW: mentions of suicide, parental death***
In which Eleanor talks about Temerity, a tiefling cleric of Prometheus who abandons his cloistered life within the Church to seek the truth about a supposedly-dead pantheon of gods.
Discussion questions:
- What does it mean for Temerity’s devotion to Prometheus to be something he “stumbled upon” accidentally? Would Temerity and Prometheus’s relationship look different if Temerity had willingly and intentionally begun his worship of Prometheus?
- What is compelling about the pursuit of knowledge for Temerity? What, if anything, does he seek to gain from this pursuit?
- What would happen – or what does Temerity believe would happen – if Temerity’s Church discovered his worship of Prometheus? To what lengths is Temerity willing to go to hide his powers and knowledge from his community

Discussion questions:
- What are the core tenants of Tusk’s moral code?
- How would Tusk define loyalty? To what extent does loyalty play a role in Tusk’s life/choices?
