Nuke-Con wants you to come play your games with us because we don’t want to keep all the fun for ourselves. Pick your few favorites and then schedule your games here. Make sure you get them submitted by September 8 at 11:59 pm to get them into the schedule and the program book!
Don’t fret, it’s a full weekend of games so you have the time and space to plan game slots and still play games, too. Don’t forget to tell your friends!
Have you wanted to share a game or TTRPG with others but haven’t found anyone to play? Why not come to Nuke-Con and share with us! We welcome gamers of all ages to show and tell about what games you have to share. You can plan to play a few different games over the whole weekend!
We are looking for Game Masters of all game types to come join us at Nuke-Con this year! With this being our 35th year we are excited to have a space to allow gamers young and old to come run games.
Is there a board game you would love to share with others? Come and show it off. If you have a table campaign that you want some players to dive into, bring the joy to our space. Looking for game enthusiasts to beta test or demo your new creation, our folks love it! Wage epic battles with minis? Look no further!
Pick your day and time, describe your game, tell us how many players you want at your table, and we’ll do the rest.
Register your game here.
Tim is a born and raised Iowa native. He began his creative journey at age 4 composing piano music; his interest in game development began while he was in college. His first published game was spawned from an abandoned D&D homebrew campaign which eventually became the naval strategy game Old Salt.
After successfully Kickstarting a campaign to manufacture and fulfill Old Salt, Tim developed a program called Little Creators Club which teaches elementary kids how to design their own games. Little Creators partners with elementary schools with the goal of helping kids take a step away from consumerism toward being lifelong creators, makers, and designers. We’ve also offered Little Creators at a few breweries in the Des Moines Metro for families and friends to design board games as a fun, creative activity.
What’s new and on the horizon? Aside from Little Creators Club programming and Old Salt, Tim is working on a variety of projects, but the two he is most excited about are a workout gamification program designed for gamers and a kids book building program for NICU parents. Practicing what he preaches, he is in pursuit of lifelong creativity!

Now is the time for all you Masters of Games to bring your favorites out into the light!
You can get your games into the schedule here, and as soon as they’re approved everybody will be able to see!
Board games! Card games! RPGs and minis! Nuke-Con is ready for you to bring your best-loved game — or maybe the one you need 5 players for when there’s only three players in your home group. Or do you have a game design you want to play-test?
There will be about 500 gamers looking for something to play. Time for all you folks who love games to decide which ones you’re going to share with the rest of us.
Don’t delay! The sooner you get your game into the schedule, the better your chances of getting exactly the slot you want. Submit your event and thank you for sharing your favorite game!
