Everyone’s invited to a week of expert panels and actual plays from Aotearoa New Zealand!
KiwiRPG week, an annual showcase of Kiwi creativity across the tabletop role-playing field, returns for the fifth time in 2026.
Saturday July 4th sees the start of an online convention full of great livestream events!
Find out what’s happening in our vibrant, positive community of creators, and bask in our weird accents and our references to things like jandals, always blowing on the pie, and how our dentist was an elf in the Lord of the Rings movies.
Panel discussions and actual plays every day
Games and panels stream every day of the week, with video available after.
KiwiRPG week always coincides with the celebration of Matariki, the Māori new year. We begin and end the week with a ceremony and karakia (ritual intention setting) on the live stream.
Aotearoa’s TTRPG experts will bring knowledge to wide-randing panel discussions. Watch out for the Māori creators chat for a fresh indigenous perspective on games, and the art & design panel with some of the biggest art and design names in global gaming.
GMs and players from some of Aotearoa’s popular actual play shows will dive into amazing Kiwi games, from global hits like Monster of the Week to cutting-edge new designs like Yous Are Broken Too?
Incredible bundle deals
To celebrate the week, creators from the KiwiRPG network are making their games available in special bundles on each of the three major sales platforms, itch, DriveThruRPG, and RPG Trader.
Fill your boots with amazing Kiwi games for a bargain price, available all week!
