The KiwiRPG library! What’s in there? How can we search through it?

The KiwiRPG Library is a comprehensive catalogue of tabletop games, modules, shows, tools, and other resources created by people from Aotearoa New Zealand. It has launched with over 400 items, which will continue to grow as more tabletop content is created by the KiwiRPG community.

The library is ordered with the most recently created items first, and it is well worth digging further for all the incredible work that the community has produced over the years. The search bar at the top of the site will allow you to search for anything you like, and you can also find content by category, tag, language, creator, publisher, or contributor by clicking on any of those in the resource details, or in the site footer.

For example, you can find all the Monster of the Week content, everything available in Te Reo Māori, a host of locally-produced podcasts, anything by individual creators or publishers, and so much more, all via the quick links throughout the site.

If you’re not sure what you want exactly, you can always roll for a random adventure using the link in the header.

Clicking on any resource will open it in a new tab, so you can open something up without losing your place in the library as you browse.

Why does KiwiRPG need a library?

The sheer amount of content in the library is evidence for how badly it’s needed. People post their games on Itch and DriveThruRPG, and their content on blogs, YouTube, and Spotify, sharing them on social platforms, but there’s no way to find all of that content conveniently. The KiwiRPG Library facilitates that by bringing it all together in one place, making it easy for anyone to find tabletop gaming content created by Kiwis, in an easily searchable collection.

Since each item links to its existing location, the library serves as a catalogue without worrying about hosted content becoming out of date. That means anything you find on the library will always take you to the latest and greatest version of it available.

It’s tidy, easy to search, always up-to-date, and comprehensive.

This is powered by the Lore Library – what’s that?

Lore Library is a service for creating a public, searchable catalogue of all available content for your tabletop role-playing game or community. It’s available for anyone to use! You can host it yourself or have it hosted for you, all the while retaining full administrative control over your library. Each Lore Library is customisable, easy to use, endlessly searchable, and personalised to your needs.

What are some of your items in the KiwiRPG library?

I’ve spent a lot of time playing creating content for Mausritter, a rules-light TTRPG where you play as adventuring mice (it really is as fun as it sounds). I’m especially proud of the campaigns and settings I’ve created for it, such as Kiwi Acres, a full setting and collection of adventures on a New Zealand farm. I’ve also written comprehensive system-agnostic settings – most recently, Eldermist Shores, a setting on a magical and mysterious island with endless opportunities for adventure in any tabletop RPG.

There’s a lot more of my work in the library, including games, modules, settings, and adventures. All of it is available on my Ten Acre Games site, where everything is 30% off for the whole of KiwiRPG Week (if it isn’t already free to download).
