Welcome to Dantalions library!

Hi! Welcome to Hell!

don’t worry though, it’s not as bad as you’d think ;p

Lets have some quick introductions.

Dantalion is the 71st demon of hell, according to the lesser key of solomon (and feyself), a demon of science, knowledge, and love. She is often depicted holding books, and dons many genders. He also happens to be the mascot for the publishing press: Hellscape!

Hellscape Press is a publishing press, dedicated to publishing primarily tabletop games, though not necceseraly. And despite it’s name I’m not interested in publishing only horror, it just happens that most of what I write end up being horror (oops) and I think hellscapes are super neat! I will be using it to publish my own work, but hopefully, once it gathers some momentum, I can use it to publish other artists, cooperating with the other small-fry artists in a collective yell of “ART”.

And this ‘I’ I keep refering to is me, Mia Øvrum! Game designer, author, and artist in her early 20s. I also happen to be a transwoman and am super super queer! I have some small stuff already out there by the hand of other publishers, and some stuff I’ve been working on for a year or so that I really need to finish so I can send it to the folks who told me they will publish it ;p don’t be afraid to hit me up for a chat, look for my contact in the footer!

That leaves only this blog, Bibliotheca Dantalionis, to introduce. This is very much a blog in the tradition of Bastionland, Prismatic Wasteland, and WhatWouldConanDo: the hope is to publish a mix of ttrpg ideas, game development updates, thoughts on the industry and printing, and anything else related to ttrpgs. But I will also use it in all the varied ways, to my hearts content, post short stories, ranting about stuff I find neat, and spreading queerness a-plenty.

I also wanna give a huge shout out to The Coded Type (formally known as The Dispatch), and Iko for fostering the TLB community which has helped me so much to grow as a designer, artist, and person, but of course also for creating the Open Blog Revolution template which made this blog possible! - and to my partner (who for reasons of anonymity I will refer to only by lün initial) D, who helped me navigate the true hellscape: programming.

That’s a lot of links and names! I will be making a post eventually listing all the awsome writers (or long dead archives) I think you should check out! But that’s it for now! See ya! <3
