Questions about moving to Denmark/Århus (self.aarhus)

I'm going to move to (probably) Århus beginning of January, and I got a few question specifically about the city and live in Denmark in general. If there is a better community for stuff like this let me know!

Live in Denmark

I probably have my apartment secured but are there general things to look out for?
Are there any must-have-apps for daily live? I already found the DSB app, rejskort and rejsplanen app, but is there for example something for national/local alerts (Germany and Finland have that for example).
I already have one specific question: why does DSB offer both to check in and out for a trip and tickets for a specific route?
Any other things I might not be aware of? I already lived other Scandinavian countries, so I don't expect much if a culture shock.

Live in Århus

I'll be trying to join a pen&paper group. Any advice where to go looking?
Any areas to avoid?
Any hidden gems? Might be a favorite café, bar, beach etc.
Any other useful things?

Oh, forgot these:

I’ll be trying to join a pen&paper group. Any advice where to go looking?

Like Boromino said, people probablt organize on FB which sucks when you've left. There's also a couple of TTRPG shops - Faraos (not the one one the main street, that's for comics), and Epic Panda. Maybe they can put you in contact with people.

Any areas to avoid?

Depends on your gender, etc. - but generally no. There are ghetto-like areas, but I've lived in most of them and not felt unsafe. I am also a 110kg 40-year-old man, so...

Any hidden gems? Might be a favorite café, bar, beach etc.

Lots of lovely places :) But depends on what you're into - fine dining, veggie-food, beers, drinks...

Some highlights:

Dokk1 - public space, culture house, library, citizen services, etc. Beautiful space too.

Aarhus Streetfood - food court-style place to eat and a have a few beers, decent food in most places

Moesgaard Museum - a great museum, also a beautiful building

There's also lots of touristy stuff, let me know if you're into that.

Any other useful things?
