I’ve spoken previously about Overly Sarcastic Productions and their gloriously chaotic educational material, and today I want to specifically recommend Detail Diatribe: TTRPGs That Aren’t D&D (And Why They Slap) The Detail Diatribe series are long-form presentations digging into the real meat of a subject, and in this case it’s nearly two hours of RPG systems, their stories and mechanics! It’s a fascinating variety and you may hear about some of the particulars from me later, once I’ve had a chance to try them.

It’s been a long week, so here’s a picture of Arwen and a hint of what’s to come!

In 2020 I sung MALINDA’s praises, and now she’s on tour! I saw her at the Chicago show at City Winery Chicago, which also happens to have a great dinner menu.

This tour is specifically featuring MALINDA’s album It’s All True, as well as some other originals (like “Don’t Make Me“!), folk covers, and sean-nós, or “old style” Irish music. What I learned at City Winery is that MALINDA concerts are so, so special, not just because I love her music, not just because she has an extremely talented team joining her on tour, but because there is such an infectious energy to her concerts! It’s epic and personal and More (With You) and the audience participation for songs like “Figured Out” was really just the icing on the cake.

If there was ever a concert worth seeing over and over and over again, it’s definitely MALINDA’s, and if you’re near any of the cities that still have tickets left, I highly recommend going! It’s absolutely worth it. As for the rest of us… here’s to the next tour!
