Towergirls

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

Tower Girls (or Towergirls) is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure chart detailing a variety of princesses alongside the question of which one(s) the reader would save. It originated from a 'creative' /v/ thread where posters would fill in a meme, the subject of which was a knight bursting through a door with the text "Princess, I've come for you!". The subsequent panel would then be open to the interpretation of the artist. This meme is believed by some to have been inspired by the oft-posted comic depicting a knight rescuing a princess who is revealed to be a kobold. The artist for every major iteration of the Towergirls CYOA thus far (not including 'fan general', 'wyvern/horse princess' edits, etc.) is "Gats". The person behind the "Princess, I've come for you!" meme is unknown.

Within the context of the chart, 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. Princesses come in multiple tiers, and knights come in multiple flavors (including "has a vagina").

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 Towergirls 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

Possible Pre-Origin Inspiration

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

Continuation

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

Gats' Towergirls

In continual development.

Charts

Soon, there were thought experiments, from whence all others sprang.

• 

  Take your pick, lads.

• 

  Featuring both changes for "balance," and some beefcake for all you lady knights out there!

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.

• 
• 
• 

  Slime, no.

• 

  Bad slime.

• 

  Very bad slime.

Dragon Princess

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

• 
• 

  Little known fact; there was a dinosaur thought to lactate. Not that artists need an excuse.

• 
• 
• 

  Dragon, no.

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

  Now with her own template!

• 

  For your 360° creativity.

• 
• 

  Yes, it is possible.

• 

  Not that getting creative is a bad thing though.

• 
• 
• 

  Don't worry, she can't get any further. Dragon filled up on your peasants and livestock beforehand.

• 
• 
• 

Human Princess

Because vanilla isn't a bad flavor.

• 
• 

Skeleton Princess

Spooky is a fetish, right?

• 

  She gets along with Slime and Dragon at least.

• 

  "That face you make as you get bone-burn is so cute."

• 
• 

Ant Princess

She wants a big family.

• 
• 

Mimic Princess

Wait, when did we get two Human Princesses? Mimic was originally a "comedic Bad End" choice which became a legitimate princess later.

• 
• 
• 
• 

  Wait, that's not what went i-fuck it, who cares.

• 
• 

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.

• 
• 
• 

  Sometimes it's nice to be the one being rescued for a change.

• 
• 

  Meanwhile, your guards are prepared to repel what sounded like a thousand knights charging the castle walls.

Golem Princess

She's your little yndʻstrwqtʼablʻ prwy.

• 
• 

  She's got a thing for shiny metal asses. Luckily you have one too.

• 

Other Princesses

The followibg are fan creations, and not part of the core game.

Wyvern Princess

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

Bobbit Worm Princess

Kitchen Princess

  Soldier approved.

Gnoll Princess

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

  Notice them at your own risk.
