Towergirls
 | This article contains PROMOTIONS! Don't say we didn't warn you. |
Towergirls (or Tower Girls) is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure chart detailing a variety of waifus 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" who is better known for his work on Corruption of Champions. The person behind the "Princess, I've come for you!" meme is unknown. Furthermore, a Tumblr user called "Bupi" began a project to craft a figurine of each princess while a user called "FicFicPonyFic" created alternate costume variants.
Obviously Towergirls is a CYOA chart. The largest and most popular version by Gats is lewd in nature, gameplay elements are laid out in the respective charts and require no further explanation. There are earlier non-lewd versions, one by Gats, another by an unknown artist. Development of Original Content often occurs on 4chan's /tg/ board and on 8chan's dedicated Towergirls board /twgrl/ rules for OC Generation are on this page and on the respective board/threads. On top of the CYOA Charts a great deal of art and fan lore has been created, for the sake of simplicity the lore is not collected on this page and can be found in older threads via archive.moe if you're that desperate for content or via discussion on the mentioned threads/boards.
currently a secretive Bro-Quest/Towergirls crossover of some sort is rumored to be in production and Duke, of Chapter Master fame, is also developing some manner of Visual Novel/RPG/Kingdom simulator game for Tower Girls.

OC's
Princesses come in three different types thus far. Generation I types have two Dowry items granting boons or powers. Generation II have an idol, which has a top and bottom representing the effects of worshiping or renouncing that idol. Generation III have a companion or companions of some kind (although in two cases this is just the princess taking up two spaces) and two bonuses, one awarded to wealthy Knights and one to powerful Knights. All Generations have a Lust Bonus attained for fulfilling their desires and being a dutiful husband. All princesses have a small crown, and appear in a chibi style. The description includes flavor text, the name of their kingdom (note that some share kingdoms), perks and disadvantages, and finally two fetishes/desires and one thing they will not accept or tolerate. All princesses have stats spread out 9 points between Love (their loyalty/maximum emotional connection), Lust (how difficult it is to attain their lust bonus/how dutiful you must be), Wealth, and Power (both representing the territory and miltitary they bring).
Knights have a name (some like Ace have a specific name, others like Lantern Knight have a general name). All Knights have a helmet. All knights have 12-14 stat points, all knights have one or two items and weapons with fluff descriptions, all knights have one special ability that may buff a stat no higher than +2 points, though it may also apply special modifiers for situations and allow a knight to use different stats when rolling for challenges.
