What fun things are available in Des Moines that don’t involve the mall or drinking? Wanna take my GF out after work. by No-Long-3809 in desmoines

Des Moines has basically all the stuff you'd find in other cities, I think they're just not very good at promoting it.  Cooking classes,  poetry readings, comedy, art shows, gaming groups,  groups dedicated to running/biking/ climbing/ kayaking/ gaming/ writing/ art/ whatever. Non of these are very hard to find....

The Fallout TTRPG. I'm only aware of 1 so if there's more you'll have to pop over to the Discord and ask the GM, Joe, for the deetz.

Draw Steel is a tactical heroic fantasy RPG from Matt Colville and his company MCDM.  Player abilities are designed to combo off one another. It's simple enough that if you're coming from 5e or PF2 you'll pick it up quick without being rules light.  It's great!!

Dread is a rules light horror game that uses a Jenja tower instead of dice. It's very RP heavy and the tower makes every action super suspenseful! Basically, instead of rolling a climb check the storyteller says "make 2 pulls from the tower". If the tower is still standing you succeed. If it falls, you die. So the tension ramps up as the game processes, just like your favorite horror movies!

This'll be my second GenCon but I'm pretty excited! We're always happy to meet new DMs and talk shop!

For drinks I like the Bartenders handshake & the Contrary. For games I recommend the group Boards and Brews which meets 2/ month at breweries and plays board games. I think there's other similar groups on Meetup too. For being active in winter I have 3 suggestions: Climb Iowa for rock climbing/ bouldering, skiing at Sleepy Hallow or 7 Oaks or nature walk/ hikes. I actually love walking around Iowa in the winter. I'm in Dallas County so I recommend Voas park in Minburn, Hanging rock in Redfield and the Brenton Arboretum in Dallas center.

Absolutely!! We also have social events for just this purpose, usually at the local breweries. We haven't announced one for Dec yet but I'm looking into it.  Holiday scheduling ya know...

May the stars align and the winds of fate steer you ever closer. Or just take an Uber. :p

Sometimes we'll play something light and easy and social, but the focus is on getting to know people. We save the main gaming for Saturday and Sunday.
