![]() ![]() Their advanced technology and mastery of magic make them formidable enemies, but they’re a peaceful people, eager to forgive grudges and make new friends. They maintain a childlike curiosity even as they live much longer than other mortal races. They see the world through goggles of reason and logic, yet they burst with emotion and excitement. Balancing the humorous with the serious, and the real with the absurd, is what makes gnome roleplay challenging, rewarding, and fun. But they’re not just for comic relief: gnomes can be brave and loyal, ruthless and self-destructive, and intensely, almost recklessly passionate. Gnomes are masters of the eccentric and absurd, and produce humor like no other race can. A good gnome character might be overlooked at first, but will quickly become the center of attention, filling any room with joy and laughter. Though gnomes are the smallest race in stature, they’re unmatched in personality. Those who excel at it can create the most delightful and memorable characters in the game. Not everyone can roleplay gnomes to their full potential. But to play a gnome well requires exceptional creativity, instinct, and intellect. Indeed, gnomes are a good choice for beginners who don’t know all the intricacies of the epic Warcraft story or who haven’t roleplayed much before. In many ways that’s true: there’s very little lore to master, and simple stereotypes can take you far. It has sometimes been said that gnomes are the easiest race to roleplay. I’d like to thank all the brilliant gnomish minds that contributed to this guide. The information in this guide is drawn from official Warcraft lore, game characters and quests, the RPG books, my own personal observations, and the experiences of other gnome roleplayers who have generously offered their feedback. Keep in mind that my interpretations of gnome roleplay are my own opinions, and other players may disagree. This guide focuses primarily on in-game roleplay, since I don’t have much experience on the forums. In this new version, I hope to give players an in-depth look at the gnome race, with practical tips and examples for developing gnome characters. Because that guide is so woefully out of date and incomplete, I decided to start over from scratch. My first guide to roleplaying gnomes was written about four years ago, and has since been adapted as WoWWiki’s How to Roleplay a Gnome. I hope that this guide will help you to discover the joys and challenges of gnome roleplay. Many gnome roleplayers struggle to be taken seriously, and some players simply don’t understand gnomes very well. I’ve found that gnomes often come up short in the Warcraft roleplaying community. I’ve been involved in gnome roleplay for five years now in that time, I’ve seen some truly excellent characters and stories, and some sub-optimal ones. I’m Zappie, a gnome mage and the leader of GnomeTech on Emerald Dream. Hello everyone, and welcome to Zappie’s Guide to Roleplaying Gnomes. ![]()
