BEYOND CORNY GROŃ – ADVENTURER’S GUIDE is a system-neutral toolkit and sandbox generator, set in the world heavily inspired by legends from the Polish mountains, folk songs of bold highwaymen, and romantic tales about Hidden Things.

Welcome to Karpakian Mountains – a land of bold highlanders and valiant highwaymen, mighty fey-kings, and diabolical nobles. This realm attracts people who yearn for freedom, and those who wish to temper their spirits like hard rocks amid biting winds and high ridges. The pristine woodland growing on the mountains' slopes makes a perfect place for a fortress – built from the endowment of lowland rulers, or against their will. Shepherds speak of bandit treasures and moss-covered pagan strongholds hidden among the peaks. Ancient knights of the long-forgotten prince sleep and wait in deep caves for the last call to battle.

Karpaki are home to biesy – mysterious beings, sometimes called Good Neighbors, Hidden Folk, or Cousins. For centuries they hid their secrets among crags and forests, away from the greedy eyes of mortals who inhabit the lowlands. Many scholars (as arrogant as they are enlightened) ignore or even deny the existence of biesy. Meanwhile, any child will say that weolcaners, netherlings, goblins, or wyrdwifes are as real as the wind or coming rain, sudden love, or mischievous joke. Just because they can't be seen at first glance doesn't mean they don't exist. The uncrowned ruler of these odd creatures is undoubtedly the Mountain Spirit, about whom legends are whispered by owls and wind blowing among pines.

Eryk's piece: this massive, letter-sized, 340 page tome is surprisingly digestible. There are chapter markers on each page, the tables are plentiful (honestly, there are so many tables!), and the dedication to not only Polish myth but also Polish highlander aesthetics are impressive. 

Shipping

I use Royal Mail to ship all books both domestically and internationally. Shipping is real expensive these days but I've kept my margins as low as possible and grouped the shipping costs in weight increments of 250g to hopefully make it as fair as possible!

  • Within the UK: £4.50
  • Within the EU: starting at £6
  • Within the US: starting at £8
  • The rest of the world: starting at £7.5

I drop all parcels off with Royal Mail once a week on a Friday. Domestic parcels arrive within 1-2 business days, all other parcels arrive within 4-5 business days after being dropped off with Royal Mail.

Digital copies of all applicable products will be automatically emailed to you after checkout. Shoot us an email to store@peregrinecoast.press if you have any issues claiming your PDFs. 

I also collect taxes at checkout, so EU folks will have their packages sent duties paid. This means faster and cheaper delivery :)

This is part of the IOSS scheme. You'll see VAT-included prices on the shop (in EUR), I'll collect that VAT from you at checkout and remit it to your tax authority.
