* In ''VideoGame/{{Anbennar}}'', gnomes are a pretty standard D&D-style artificer race...in a setting where large-scale development of {{Magitek}} is just about to take off. While politically restricted to a few minor powers, gnomish artificers are the founders of the international artificers' guild (the Gommo), and a revived Gnomish Hierarchy will be a major force in both the Old and New Worlds.

* The Gnomes in ''TabletopGame/Munchkin'' are stereotypical small guys with big noses and pointy cone-shaped hats. They are often mistaken for Halflings (and, as an actual gameplay mechanic, most monsters will treat Gnomes as Halflings), but their bonuses are completely different: they can use Monster cards to conjure illusions that [[YourMindMakesItReal can actually fight]], gain a power bonus when using items that start with G or N, and will automatically evade Nose-type monsters.

* Gnomes are a sentient race in ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'', rivalled only by [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]] in terms of their natural magical talent and have a natural lifespan of over two centuries. They're about the size of human elementary schoolers, with big hands and feet and high-set, slightly pointed ears. It's mentioned in supplementary comics their style of magic differs from elven spells by treating mana as a sacred living force and asking it kindly to follow commands, while elves treat magic like a tool, and their spells are much more clinical and direct; gnome magic is less mana-intensive compared to elven magic, but the results are more variable (it has the potential to be more powerful, but it could also be weaker), while elf magic gives the same results consistently. Gnomes have numerous cultural and physical similarities to dwarves, and their communities tend to be closely linked; it's mentioned in supplementary texts that they can interbreed to make fertile offspring (implying they're most closely related to each other out of all races).

Also, the pointy, red hat is very popular fashion style amongst gnomes.

* ''Literature/PrincessesOfThePizzaParlor'': They've had civillization for at least 2000 years, since they had a city destroyed that long ago, they're shorter than humans, and they literally emit sparks and possibly [[BurningWithAnger burst into flames when angry]].
