**NOVEMBER EVENTS AT DZG - CHARITY EDITION**

For the uninitiated, during November we like to give back to the community, so we change it up a bit for our tournaments. Instead of our normal entry fee, we accept donations on behalf of The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive ! One toy or book gets you entry to the event, while additional donations get you fun bonuses like forcing your opponents to reroll. We try to do fun, crazy events for these ones because it's all for charity and fun. We had you help us decide what events to run alongside some good ol' standards, so without further ado...

Battle of the Warp - Warhammer 40k - November 7th https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/sBacE81ZvKmO
Battle of the Poppies - Bolt Action - November 14th https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/Fgx3s00CZiWm
Battle of Brotherhood - Horus Heresy - November 14h https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/ZQHS7MiDPSzC
Battle of the Realms - Age of Sigmar - November 21st https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/d3MVB6ppz20G
Battle of the Shields - Pillage - November 28th - https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/XbbKUBSHbj4v
November 28th will also be our Tamiya 4WD Grand Prix for the month

Details on the events special rules will be out shortly. We hope you join us in giving back to the community! Even if you are not participating in an event we will be accepting general donations for The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive in store as of November 6th. Let's make the holidays a bit brighter for local kids!

ATTENTION everyone !!
We have been informed by GW that orders for ALL Christmas boxes must be placed TOMORROW, which means we need your orders by midnight TONIGHT!! Thats for ALL the boxes - 40k, AoS, and Heresy! Please only use this sheet to order from, it keeps everything in one place for us! We expect the box price will be a touch less than Armageddon, but as always these things are not finalized until boxes hit shelves. These boxes are one and done, we will not be able to get them in if you miss this order!

Please use this form to order your Warhammer Christmas boxes!

Its almost time for Halloween! Everyone with kiddos (or kids at heart), we have treat bags tomorrow to give out! Plus don't forget our all day spooky movie marathon, our 5pm potluck, games of Malifaux, 40k, and Konflikt, and much more!

10/29/2026

Hello folks, its another Thursday and with the weather being so doom and gloom its the perfect time to come down to Dropzone this evening to try out some games of Spearhead! Spearhead forces will be avaliable for people to borrow, and in addition we have the new City of Ash mat to change up the game! Demos will start around 4:30pm!

10/27/2026

Alright folks, a bit later than expected and there's a few items with details still in the works, but here are at least some details on Halloween @ DZG for everyone :
- Firstly, the cancelled bits. We did not get enough interest for Pumpkin Carving or the Mallpocalypse RPG, so those have been scratched. Apologies to the folks who were interested, maybe next time!
- The Potluck will be held around 5pm. Please bring your food around that time - we will set it up in the racing room as we did the chili cook off. We have outlets so of you'd like to bring a slow cooker or similar to keep an item warm please feel free. We can also reheat items in the back kitchen oven if needed but keep in mind we have very limited space there! Also, don't feel like you need to bring something fancy or homemade - we know not everyone likes to cook! Snacks and appies are always appreciated! All we ask is that all items come with an ingredient list for allergen purposes.
- Movies will be starting around noonish. We will start with some pretty gentle films (think ParaNorman, Beetlejuice, etc.) but as the night goes on, so too does the spookiness. For those who endure the full gamut of films, there will be a prize draw!
- Costume Competition will be at 3pm, so all the youngsters have time to pop by in costume before trick or treats! A council of staff judges will be voting on the winner, and I will try to arrange a photo area for those interested in nabbing a pic in costume. This will also have a prize!
- Our One Day Painting Competition of the Dead will start at 1pm and run until our 5pm potluck time. Models will be provided, please bring your own paints and tools. Voting will run from 5-6pm during the potluck break, with a prize awarded after for the publicly voted winner!
- The Konflikt 47 Zombie Horde game will be starting around 8pm
- Warhammer 40k will be throughout the day, details on a big game plan are being worked out.
Hope to see you all on Saturday!

It's a mere Twelve Days to Halloween! A reminder to everyone , we will be open until midnight on Halloween, with all kinds of festivities like a horror movie marathon (don't worry, the really spooky stuff won't be put on until late!), pumpkin carving, a potluck, and more!
