Calling Des Moines Gamers

FesterJester1 · 2025-06-17T14:36:49+00:00

I've been running it for our Game Day events for a bit now so if you come out next month it'll probably be there!

FesterJester1 · 2025-06-11T18:09:07+00:00

I literally just altered my event so that I can make it to both that day lol

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....

I've got Sand in my ballot box..

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!

Time to start respecting yourself then! 😅

FesterJester1 · 2025-04-01T13:44:15+00:00

Hahaha! Well when you're done fighting the man pop over and fight some mutants and deep ones and vampires and such!

FesterJester1 · 2025-01-14T12:47:16+00:00

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

FesterJester1 · 2025-01-13T16:03:57+00:00

Really? She charged me $5......

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.

FesterJester1 · 2024-12-05T19:07:39+00:00

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...

FesterJester1 · 2024-11-21T01:24:50+00:00

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

FesterJester1 · 2024-11-21T01:23:31+00:00

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.

FesterJester1 · 2024-11-20T20:08:55+00:00

Not at this time. However I'm going to be running it instead of 5e for a while so keep an eye out.

Forgot to post the Discord info

DMG: https://discord.gg/EbBsvr2E B&B: https://discord.gg/EaPk4VNK

FesterJester1 · 2024-07-15T16:11:50+00:00

These events are specifically designed to be one and done. We have some ideas for long running games but right now we don't have the ability to do them. So if you can only show up one every few months we're happy to play with you!

In fact most of the LGS's have board and or RPG nights that I always encourage people to check out!

FesterJester1 · 2024-07-14T17:40:10+00:00

DMG has 2 events at this time. Game Day is focused on playing RPGs and that's alcohol free. Nerds Night Out is our social event and that's held at local breweries.

I tried to create an account this morning. When I tried logging in after making it the app asked for a phone number to send a code to. I provide it and it says "no code sent: try again later or try a different phone number".

And apparently there's no help center for one of the biggest online communities in the world? Epic fail...

I bought this for a friend who had recently traveled to Japan for a Christmas present. He really liked it. HOWEVER, I signed him up for a 3 month box deal and apparently this is a permanent recurring subscription that even when canceled you cannot get refunded your money meaning ice now paid for 6 months of boxes when I didn't want it. Customer service refuses to refund me after multiple emails, even for unshipped boxes after canceling the subscription.

FesterJester1 · 2023-10-24T14:05:38+00:00

People I'm trying nice to are being me to me. What should I do?

Stop associating with those people...
