It's only been 2 weeks since the last big update, and I'm pleased to announce the release of v1.2 with some great new additions to the world of Kiwi Acres. Read on for more details about what's included.

This update also coincides with the release of the ninth adventure in the bundle - Search & Rescue.

Connections between adventure sites

The download now includes a table of connections between all of the Kiwi Acres adventures. This means that each adventure site has some kind of connection to at least one other. This is great for creating a cohesive campaign that draws players along to different adventures in a natural way.

New, magical creatures

The magical fae are a staple in many games, and Mausritter is certainly no exception. This release includes details for the patupaiarehe & ponaturi - the New Zealand equivalent of these mischievous creatures. Don't worry - the pronunciation guide will help you with saying their names correctly!

The bestiary includes their stat blocks and the core PDF provides details of how players interact with them, including the curses they give and the deals they make. They show up in the new Search & Rescue adventure and can be included in any Kiwi Acres stories.

On a less magical note, the bestiary now also includes a stat block for the dim-witted sheep, along with an interaction table. 

A whole lot more items, spells & conditions

Kiwi Acres now includes more items than ever before:

• 12 new spells
• 4 new treasure items
• 2 new weapons
• 2 new armour items
• 7 new conditions

Some of these are from the published adventures, now available in the core package even if you don't have the adventures they originally came from. All of them are included in the tables and the printable item sheets.

A new NPC

The previously published adventure Thieves in a Haystack, includes the details of Taika, the flax snail who is the leader of the Thieves Guild. I have now added his info to the core Kiwi Acres package so you can interact with him even if you don't use the adventure where he explicitly shows up.

I'm excited to have this update out and I hope you enjoy this more immersive world of Kiwi Acres. Future updates to the core package will include a map of Scarecrow Strand, even more NPCs, and more. If there's anything in particular that you would like to see then please comment on here to let me know!

Haere rā!
