The Lawnmower Menace
A downloadable adventure
In the backyard of the Kiwi Acres farmhouse, a community of mice has fallen into despair. The source of their suffering? A monstrous contraption known as the lawnmower - roaring through the fields, it shreds everything in its path. No mouse is safe from its deadly blades, and the once-bustling settlement has been reduced to a ghost town.
With the help of the settlement’s best wireworker, you must navigate the treacherous backyard and sabotage the lawnmower before it can claim any more lives. Will you succeed, or will you become just another casualty in the war against this vile machine? The fate of the village rests in your paws…

How can you use this?
The Lawnmower Menace is the starting adventure in the Kiwi Acres hexcrawl for Mausritter and works best when used in that context in hex #8 on the map. You can alternatively use this as a one-shot adventure in your own games or plug it into an existing campaign.
The adventure includes:
- Convenient printing options in A4 and US letter sizes
- 6 new items
- 2 new conditions
- 1 custom hireling to accompany players
- Player & GM maps in colour and black & white outline
- Integration with the wider world of the Kiwi Acres campaign setting
A note for the GM:
As The Lawnmower Menace takes place in the Kiwi Acres hexcrawl, it references items, creatures and tables that are available as part of the Kiwi Acres package. If you are not using Kiwi Acres, the standard Mausritter tables will suffice. Creature details are included in the freely available New Zealand Bestiary.

An amazing little adventure perfect to introduce people to the world of Mausritter! The idea of having to disable a lawnmower as a mouse is great: it's easy to understand and it serves to keep the size of mice always present. The pamphlet layout is also very easy to read. 💯 Very recommended.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
