Be Happy

An Exploration of Happiness

Welcome

The internet is filled with things to look at and say how much we dislike or don’t appreciate them. “Be Happy”, aims to be the exact opposite. Exploring the things which have brought me happiness throughout my life. Art, games, music, and more. I hope during my time writing about these things and how much they mean to me, they bring happiness to you as well.

Games with Strangers Plays, “Bang!”

December 27, 2018

It’s just like The Wild West to be unruly, even when you box it all up and turn it into a social deduction style tabletop game.

4 – 7 players (I highly recommend 7) take on secret roles and have multiple shootouts to determine who will rule over this quaint little Western waterin’ hole. 

Players choose their own player mat, from the seven distinct backdrops of the ‘Ol West. (This step is only important for art snubs; slowly raises hand) … More Games with Strangers Plays, “Bang!”

The “Childish” Games We Play

Earlier this year, my friends and I started a Tabletop Gaming Event called, “Games with Strangers”. Over the past several months, I’ve come into contact with a lot of different people for many different reasons involving GWS.

One person, in particular, was offering a guest blogging opportunity. During our conversation, the word ‘childish’ was used to describe tabletop gaming. Now, they’re not wrong, some tabletop games are directly pointed for children, but tabletop gaming is not just for children, nor is tabletop gaming only a child-like interest.

Of course, living in Alabama, a state which frequently misunderstands anything outside of, Typical Southern Livin’, Games with Strangers becomes even more difficult to sell. … More The “Childish” Games We Play

Games with Strangers Plays, “Castle”

May 24, 2018

The “Games with Strangers” crew prides itself on having an incredibly diverse collection of games.
Our collection features rare, obscure, and otherwise odd, games.

One game I believe aptly shows how far our collection spans is, “Castle”.

Imagine a Kingdom, set to throw a legendary party, in the midst of royal backstabbing, with an incoming siege about to take place, and you’re tasked with settling all of your guests into the castle, without rustling any feathers. … More Games with Strangers Plays, “Castle”

Dunkaroos!

"How do you do your Dunkaroos?"

The commercials of the '90s always seemed to be as memorable as the products they marketed. If anybody is interested in creating a reboot or spin-off of, "Mad Men" I highly recommend this era.

A quirky yet practical look at the inevitable.

From the author of 'The Bottom Drawer Book: the after death action plan'. By learning more about death, our mortality, and ways to say goodbye, the inevitable becomes less confronting.
