The Top 10 Gayest Characters in Tabletop Gaming

Elminster. Is that a pipe in your pocket?

I actually had to search for each individual entry through Google! I'm no web designer, but I think that's bad...

The entries themselves were funny though.

There's a link to a search of the site in the last paragraph that brings all the others up.
Here's what it comes up with. The weekly list just wrapped up so it hasn't been compiled into one page yet (they've been posting one a week for like the last two and a half months). It probably will have its own dedicated page soon though!

I'm honestly kind of surprised at all the positive feedback this got. I'm glad I posted it here. ^_^

Is that a wand in your keenly-acessorized waist sash or are you happy to see me?

Okay, so...for ease of reference:

1. The aforementioned Rufus and Burne...

2. Elric of Melnibone (which I must admit is funnier when you leave the accent off the final "e")

3. Lightning zombies (D&D)...fabulous!

4. Wraeththu (from, well...Wraeththu)

5. Gotrek and Felix (WFRP)

6. Harlequin (Shadowrun)

7. Red Wizards of Thay and, specifically, Hazlik (Forgotten Realms)

8. Black Furies (Werewolf: the Apocalypse)

9. Jarlaxle (Forgotten Realms)

10. Johnny Rocket, Mutants & Masterminds (though he is actually gay in the setting - no implications needed!)

 

[WayneLigon]

The Daggerspell Warrior from complete ADventurer. I know it's suppossed to be the reflection from the spell's light, but he still looks like he has blue frosted lipstick.

10. Johnny Rocket, Mutants & Masterminds (though he is actually gay in the setting - no implications needed!)

Yeah, outside of various WoD products I really can't think of very many actually gay characters, especially males. The two Wiccan guys from the CoC adventure At Your Door and the lawyer from that same product with his 18-year-old surfer d00d 'roommate' are about the only ones that come to mind.

 

[Teneb]

In Oathbound, the city of Penance, one of the Bloodlords and his Vanguard are openly gay. Their relationship is actually the springboard to one of the published adventures (lover gets hit with a cursed weapon, PCs must find the cure).

Elminster. Is that a pipe in your pocket?

Elminster "I had more women than you had meals" of Shadowdale? I guess he is good at disguising it. In fact, I think Mask and Shar regularly take disguise lessons from him .

I'm not sure he (it?) is so much gay in that picture as neuter. You talk about sexually ambiguous...it looks like a Ken doll in eyeliner.

The picture is probably the worst piece of art 3e ever had to endure.

If you want to see how an androgynous character looks like, go watch Constantine:

This is Gabriel, who manages to look "sexually ambiguous" without painting him/herself like a drag queen from some bad movie.

They would have done better telling the artist to ignore the part about Corellon being the embodyment of both male and female elf, and go straight for male elf. They often have something vaguely effeminate about them, anyway, so it would have worked out alright.
