Developed by KYY Games, “Here Be Dragons” finally enables players of Knights of Pen & Paper 2 to play as the in-game Knight class while they slay every entry in the new in-game bestiary.

Glimpse the epic adventure that awaits you in this new trailer:

Knights of Pen & Paper 2 offers players the chance to organize a party of virtual friends and play a pen & paper RPG that requires neither pen nor paper. The new expansion, “Here Be Dragons,” follows the party as they undertake a classic RPG quest for high-level characters. Players’ in-game players will finally go pixel-to-pixel against honest-to-goodness dragons and prove themselves the finest adventurers in all of Paperos.

Changes

• Red Eyed Skull and Blue Eyed Skull trinkets have had their effect doubled.
• Wound condition received a recovery roll (balance issue due to most monsters not having healing)
• Player’s Handbook now mentions the skill cap of 15 and that each expansion increases it by 3
• Touch of Blight and Bombs (incl. Giant Bomb) randomize conditions a bit differently. Instead of always generating a new condition the target doesn’t yet have, they can now increase existing condition stacks (Burn, Wound and Poison), as well. This is a minor balance change.
• TV Set furniture affects attack consumables (bombs) as well.
• Health/Energy recovery during resting has been simplified while it also scales better at higher levels. The new mechanic is explained in the Player’s Handbook as well:
• Anyone rolling a success recovers 100%.
• Anyone rolling a fail recovers 50%.
• If everyone fails, the party will be ambushed (same as before).
• All basic weapons have been enabled in expansion area shops (incl. Orienting Village).
• Cleric’s Purge energy cost was increased by 3, because mass condition removal is simply that good.
• Poison’s energy damage now converts to health damage correctly. Previously it only happened when energy was already at 0.
• Enchanted bow/shuriken with a charm now fits all stats into item info.
• Warlock’s Summon Demon skill no longer fills up the first enemy’s health bar (only visually) for 1 turn.
• Memory optimization.
