About the game

What you do in a play session

If you felt the dungeons in Paper Dungeons were getting a bit too 'cozy,' grab your pencil because the first expansion is here to shake things up! Side Quest isn't just some extra filler; it's a difficulty and variety upgrade designed to test even the most veteran adventuring parties. The big highlight here is the introduction of new challenges that shift the exploration rhythm. We're talking much deadlier traps, lieutenants that won't go easy on you, and bosses that demand real strategy to take down.

The expansion introduces a brand-new dungeon sheet, meaning the map you know is no longer the only path. With the new Side Quests, the game gains layers of decision-making: will you stick to the main path or risk an alternative route to hunt for that powerful artifact? These quests create divergent paths, ensuring every session feels like a unique journey. Additionally, new items and artifacts have been added to balance this new difficulty curve, giving your group the tools needed to survive the chaos.

For those who love the feeling of 'clearing' a map and managing resources under pressure, this expansion is the spice you've been missing. It maintains the agile essence of the roll-and-write mechanic but injects a dose of danger that makes every dice roll feel like a matter of life or death. It is the perfect content for players looking to extend the replayability of the base game and bring more tension and complexity to the table, all without losing that quick, addictive fun of marking paper while monsters emerge. Gear up, because these new dungeons show no mercy!
