D&D General The Appearance of Female Goblins

You can always go the CRPG route

I know I will get negative feedback on this one, but over the time I met way more female players descriping their fighters/monks/barbarians/etc. as River Tam vs. as Mother Russia.

I had one woman as a player whose character was an orc barbarian who very much fit the Mother Russia mold named Fifi. Now Fifi was a girlie girl who loved pretty jewelry, makeup, and dresses, but she had a 20 strength and the ability to rage 3 times per day. I have noticed that a lot of women rarely play ugly characters. But then most guys don't explicitly tell me their character is ugly either.

I was amused at the character options for Knight of the old Republic MMORPG. The fat male character model was shaped like a potato while the female fat model had all these kickin' curves and looked fabulous. My character's name was Darth Blimpy.

Oh, I don't doubt that few male players play ugly characters as well, and if they do, its ugly in a "badass" way. Again. Wish fulfilment.

There is a female goblin in this old school style art for an adventure where the PCs play the humanoids, and the "traditional" races are the evil aggressors. Looks like...well...a female goblin as one would expect I suppose

my pc Orbril the gnome is described as old, unattractive with a pot belly, a hairy back and scar over his left eye (rat bite).
In one adventure in the fae realm, I called him out as an old caliban who came to the fae realm just so he could perve on the pixies and other pretty fae

There is a variety of Goblins in the BGIII gameplay.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

There is a female goblin companion in in Siege of Dragonspear.

They look exactly like male goblins, but wear pretty pink dresses.

I actually think the increase in sexy female characters has been accelerated by the increase of female players. D&D is in many senses a game of wish fulfillment.

And I think it has more to do with male game desigers designing the females they would prefer to look at.

In our mixed gender D&D group I have noticed no difference between male and female players and stated attractiveness of the characters (which is usually not mentioned at all). The only time I recall physical attractiveness being referred to was one my characters (male character, male player) who was extremely vain about their long flowing hair (in contrast to my balding self) and a bugbear (male player, male character) who made a point of always being neatly groomed.

Short furless yellowish semicat-people, just like the male ones. I would ponder over whether they should have 6 breasts-- but the Dragonborn, and Tabaxi, have gone to show that the number of boobs a race has is 2 regardless of one many nipples the appropriate creature should have or if they should even have any at all.
