I always knew monster girls were super popular. In fact, I’m quite the monster girl aficionado myself. But goblins? Hmph. Never quite got the appeal myself. They always seemed too small, too mischievous, too chaotic for my tastes. I’ve tried to keep an open mind to goblinkind, though, as so many of my friends and colleagues in the adult space adore goblin girls. It begs the question: Dear reader, will I one day fall in love with a beautiful goblin girl? Perhaps take her out for a milkshake and help her steal some poor adventurer’s treasure?
I just might. You see, I discovered a wonderful little goblin TTRPG dating sim last week, one that allows you to meet up with a goblin girl and roleplay your romantic encounter. And yes, that includes “hints at lewd scenarios.” No, goblins might not be my thing, but perhaps it’s time to expand my horizons beyond my usual tastes.
Roll a 1d12 to see if you forget your date’s name
My Date With A Goblin Girl is a free dating sim TTRPG by TwistingToxic, an artist with a knack for creating curvaceous goblin cuties. Intended as a “self-guided” roleplaying experience, the game lets players use their dice to craft a goblin date, rolling for her personality, hair, height, and bust size, among other attributes. Figure out the background for your date, and off you go!
Like many solo TTRPGs, My Date With A Goblin Girl is a journaling game. You’ll need a pen and paper on hand (or a Google Doc). Start by rolling 1d12 to determine your date’s opening event, from “she turns up late” to “you forget her name.” Write down what happens. Then, shuffle a deck of playing cards, and draw from the deck to guide your date’s progression. Each suit controls a different type of event, from a lustful moment to something strange happening in your environment. The events laid out are quite creative and clever, allowing players to really let their imagination run rampant while telling the story of their date.
If you draw a two of diamonds, for example? Your goblin starts hyperfixating on a shiny object, letting you decide whether to fuel her obsession or draw her back to reality. A 10 of hearts, meanwhile, causes your goblin to do something that “undeniably turns you on, and your date notices it.” There’s also a ruleset for pulling jokers, which sparks bizarre (and often hilarious) Chaos Events. For these, you’ll roll 1d12 for strange occurrences like “your date’s identical twin turns up” and “your date turns out to be a hired assassin.”
“You realize that you are the goblin girl, not the player,” one Chaos Event states. “Your perspective changes, and any further prompt cards are written from her point of view.”
There’s so much more to this goblin dating game
Players are encouraged to end their My Date With A Goblin Girl playthrough after drawing two or more kings, although this isn’t mandatory. Granted, some of the king draws are so intriguing, you might be tempted to stop your date as soon as you pull one. King of hearts, for example, results in your date’s “goblin instincts” taking over. Immediately, she jumps on you and starts kissing you, leading things to (potentially) progress in a spicy direction.
“If this is your endpoint king,” the game teases, “your date is so overcome with feral lust that she needs relief. You may decide to take her back home, or she might be so desperate that she drags you into the toilets to get busy.”
Kinky!
