Little Dusha

Little Dusha, it's the name of the publishing house run by Valentin Reverdy and Adrien Dumonchau, authors of MIR. Adrien is a writer (comics, video games, films), Valentin comes from a completely different field, that of the "mega-corp" world that surrounds us. Two different profiles, but the same starting point: a gaming table.

They met at twenty, during a game of Warhammer JDR v2. The one-shot became a campaign. The campaign lasted ten years. Several dice rolls later, they began to play "professionally" with Storytale, creating training scenarios and corporate games. That's where MIR took shape. They first approached a publisher for the project, then the first Covid lockdown arrived. From that moment, they decided to go it alone.

Their publishing house

Little Dusha - « Little Soul » - is based on two guiding principles: a strong artistic direction and the originality of the subjects addressed. Their idea is that their works must be objects where form meets substance. Everything must make sense. From the cover to the book layout, from the illustrations to the game accessory, they design each creation as a coherent whole, hard to cut into pieces.

Role-playing is presented here as an art, capable of bringing together several practices: illustration, music, design, sculpture, and others. Little Dusha works with illustrators and musicians, described as established or emerging, but with a very clear rule: no A.I - neither now, nor tomorrow, never. They also sum up their intention with a phrase that suits them well: share the Beautiful, not the Pretty. In other words, they're not just after "a pleasing rendering", but an artistic coherence that lasts. And yes, it's demanding. It's intentional.

Trolls & Légendes 2026

Little Dusha discovered Trolls & Légendes in 2023 and fell instantly for the fair and its attendees with a very direct wink: "we love you Belgians!". Three years later, they return for the 2026 edition "with an ENnies" and a series of announced novelties: a collection of scenarios (with, for the last collector copies, a black velvet cover), the Agent Compagnon (presented as the last supplement for MIR), Letters from victims of Écho, a new T-shirt, collector illustrations.

They also explain why this appointment matters: "if one place should mark the end of MIR's discovery cycle before the launch of the core book, it's Trolls & Légendes".

On site, they will be accompanied by the author of a future role-playing game announced with them, "Le Rêve Doit Mourir", with a preview presentation of a universe where insect, religion and miracle intertwine. They also plan to talk about La Femme de Barbe Bleue, Néo 80 and their more general schedule.

You'll therefore find them at the Games area to chat, leaf through, ask questions, and above all play at their tables. Adrien and Valentin sign the message, and you can tell: they come to share, not to recite a pitch.
