We’d like to thank one of our returning sponsors, Pegasus Games!
There’s something magic about your local games store. You can get to know the people behind the counter, you can build community with the other regulars, and of course, get recommendations on games to add to your collection! Pegasus Games donated a wonderful instant board game collection to give you that feeling no matter where you are in the world. Thank you to Pegasus Games for being one of Desert Bus’ local game store, and one of our beloved sponsors!
That's so much money for Child's Play!!!!
Thank you all for watching and working with us to help make the world a brighter and more hopeful place. Let's keep on shining together!
Tonight's giveaways include a bountiful bundle of games, generously donated by Steve Jackson Games!
You may know Steve Jackson Games for such classics as Munchkin and GURPS, and since 1980 they've published so many games, books, and magazines that they've had to make an entire infographic about it. We are beyond grateful to have their support this year. Thank you, Steve Jackson Games!

Home decor trends are always evolving, but some things never go out of style.
We've got a real beauty for tonight's live auction: a faux stained-glass window representing the four Desert Bus shifts and the vaunted Bus itself. It lights up from within (just like you!) and includes coloured LED lighting so you can choose your own vibes. It's a collaborative piece by woodworker/designer duo William Stroup and Adam Kelly, and it's gorgeous.
Live Auctions are run in our Twitch channel chat over at twitch.tv/desertbus. In order to participate in Live Auctions, you'll need to sign up for a Donor Account, then link it to your Twitch account. You can do so from the Donor Account page here on desertbus.org. If you're bidding, watch the chat for updates, as the stream may be on a delay!
This particular bout of fundraising action starts at 7:00 pm PST. Good luck to all of our participants!
Sold! Amount raised: $12,345.67
Welcome home, good Hunter. What is it you desire?
Is it... an adorable replica of The Doll from Bloodborne? Gosh, I sure hope it's that, because that's almost immediately deliverable on our end.
This incarnation of The Doll is a truly one-of-a-kind customization of a 28-centimetre (or 11-inch) Ever After High doll, with hand-painted face, handmade hair, hand-sewn clothes and boots, hand-knitted gloves and cape, and hand-crocheted lace. (For clarity's sake, the doll itself only has two hands.) She's been brought to life (not literally, as far as we know) by artist and character designer HaruNoHikaru, and she can be yours if you slip in the winning bid between 6 pm and 2 am PST.
Like last year, we'll be using the Vickrey Auction system to run all of our silent auctions; check out our information post from last year to learn how that works.
... and now, it's here! Gird your loins, (k)Nights of the Polygonal Table, because you've got another six hours of US to endure!
While the sun rarely shines upon our realm, we yet gleam with the radiance of fun, games, wisdom, and BOUNTEOUS PRIZES, including a live auction!
