This article contains PROMOTIONS! Don't say we didn't warn you.

Tower Girls (or Towergirls) is a "game" meme originating either on /v/ or /tg/. The concept originated with an oft-posted comic depicting a knight rescuing a princess from an inept necromancer who turns out to be a kobold who wants the story to continue in the "traditional" manner.

Essentially, the "player" is a brave knight who rescues princesses/princes/generals who marry him/her. A large (and constantly growing thanks to a template) list is given. Each option has their own Love, Lust, Wealth, and Power stats along with Likes and Dislikes. Each also has one or more Dowry options, most of which increase the appeal of that princess (compatible sexual organs, the ability to reciprocate emotion, the ability to live comfortably in the princess's environment, and so on). Many have an army option, although this comes as both an advantage and a disadvantage at times (for example Ant Princess is very poor but has a very large army but they are loyal to her instead of you, or Fish Princess who's army cannot fight on land).

Players may build a harem, or stick to one or two princesses for maximum benefit.

The game has far-reaching popularity, with boards like /co/ and /vg/ adding related Princesses (like Krogan Princess, or McDuck Princess) to their charts. Tumblr has also developed a Tower Girls community of artists.

For those who claim the concept is sexist, one must remember that the game is essentially the often-praised romantic subplot of games such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age but with all the pesky non-romance content removed. Also any animation. For now. You don't like it? Move to Kislev.

Origin Comic

What started it all. The artist is "Guoh".

Continuation

After the initial popularity, the comic was continued by other artists to it's...logical conclusion.

Charts

And then, there were thought experiments, from whence all others sprang.

Ace, The Knight

Because the protagonist needs some love too, right?

Kobold Princess

It should come as no surprise, considering the origin, that Kobold Princess is the first and arguably the most popular princess.

Slime Princess

More talkative than one would expect, was apparently once human and the skeleton inside her is her own. Maybe.

Dragon Princess

The ever popular, ever drooling Dragon Princess. Interestingly, nobody seems to ever take the dowry that makes them a dragon too...

Human Princess

Because vanilla isn't a bad flavor.

Skeleton Princess

Spooky is a fetish, right?

Ant Princess

She wants a big family.

Mimic Princess

Wait, when did we get two Human Princesses?

Ghost Princess

You mean Skeleton Princess can get nakeder?

Knight Princess

Your horse, or hers? No seriously, take hers. One of the other princesses ate yours.

Golem Princess

She's your little yndʻstrwqtʼablʻ prwy.

Wyvern Princess

Totally different from Dragon Princess, anyone who tells you otherwise is a fucking moron. Never forget that.

Bobbit Worm Princess

[Entry Not Found]

Kitchen Princess

Gnoll Princess

What can be said that you aren't already thinking?

Groups

Because afterall, it's a harem game!
