The Fall Painting Competition theme has been decided, and it is....Squad Goals! That's right, we wanna see what you can do with multiple models, 2-5 of 'em to be precise. I'm going to ask very nicely that we don't get any submissions of "giant" models for this one (D&D dragons, 40k Knights, etc.) We have to fit in a lot of models for this one so please be considerate of your fellow competitors! The competition will officially begin this upcoming weekend, and you will have until the last day of September to finish and submit your models. That's two months to do one squad! I believe in y'all, let's see what you can do!
Also, if you submitted a model for the Summer competition please make sure it is picked up ASAP!

New to Dropzone Games - the Rent-A-RPG Library!

Ever want to try out an rpg before you take the plunge? Group tired of D&D? Just curious? This is for you!
We have a wide selection of quickstarts, starter boxes, and even full books for your perusal. Simply bring the rpg you are interested in to the staff up front, and give us a piece of ID to hold as collateral. You and your group can then use one of our private gaming rooms to try out the rpg! ID will be returned at the return of the book/box to the staff. Only RPGs with the Dropzone Games sticker are available for rental. This is a new system for us so pardon any hiccups!
Curious about what rpgs you can rent? A full list will be posted to the TTRPG channel in our Discord! Join here: https://discord.com/invite/xegup2f
