ITS ALPHA FLIGHT DAY 2!!!!!!!!!!!
We're going to be super chill this stream and do nothing exciting.
Come and stay awhile won't you.
We've loved sharing little tidbits of happy daily news, and we love our catchy jingle, so we needed to make it complete with the help of a new logo! Many thanks to everyone who sent us an entry. We picked one favorite out of a field of darling options, and the winner is...
Winner: Andrew (he/him)
Runner-Up: Ashley (she/her)
Runner-Up: Trevor
Runner-Up: Hieroglyphica (she/they)
Runner-Up: Casey (he/him)
ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY DONATE TO DESERT BUS! Actually, uh, one does. One very much does do that, and if you want a chance to bring this woven Fellowship home, that is exactly what you'll have to do.
But don't worry! It's not too hard! Just set up a donor account (if you haven't already) and donate $9.15 (or multiples thereof) before 11:45am for a chance to win!
Turn on that fireplace and curl up for a cozy one, because we have just started some silent auctions that you will absolutely want to take a nap with.
Databus Quilt mk.2
The data quilt is back! Snuggle up with the whole history of Desert Bus (as represented by color-coded squares). There aren't many quilts that need their own figure caption sewn into the backside to explain the data encoded within them, and we think that's a major flex.
Loot Needle-Felted Art Doll
Loot? More like CUTE! This adorable Noble Beast from Magic: the Gathering stands 13" tall and is probably even softer than you imagine. He can be gently posed and lovingly snuggled all the way into the evening hours where you'll get to enjoy his fairy-lit tail (batteries included with the prize!)
You'll have 8 hours to sleepily ponder your options, so check out these items and place any bids before 6pm PT!
Your Commanders work hard so you can play hard, so surely they deserve a glamorous hard(wood) case to rest in! This hand-crafted carrying case featuring the symbols from the 5 Tarkir clans contains four deck boxes, each with a special pocket where your hard-working Commander can take a nap alongside your favorite tokens.
Donate $6.41 (or multiples thereof) by 11am PT for a chance to win!
We are auctioning off this gorgeous hand-crafted Katamari Damacy Wall Clock live right now on https://www.twitch.tv/desertbus
Jump into chat, link your donor account, and get to bidding! The King of All Cosmos will judge you regardless of whether you win or not, so have fun whether you're bidding, watching, or frantically rolling up a pile of paper clips and cat hair.
UPDATE: Auction has ended! Congrats to gravity_pike who donated $5,000 to take home this wee prince!
Thank you to sponsor Pegasus Games for their enduring support of Desert Bus, including this year's Dungeon Master Super Book Bundle! Show your support in turn for a local games store by checking out their online store full of your favorite (or soon-to-be favorite) card, board, and tabletop games.
Hope springs eternal when it comes to D&D. First you get a bunch of books, then you get a group together, then you play about 2-3 sessions before people start being too busy to make the next session. Eventually you start from fresh with new books, new people, and new schedule conflicts - thus contributing to the great circle of D&D life!
This huge collection of 8 beautiful D&D books (and one deck) will jumpstart your journey into the cycle. Think of it like a cheat code or a "skip cinematic" button for the first part where you normally have to buy all these books individually! Gosh, you could get so many cycles out of this set.
Donate $5.49 USD or multiples thereof before 9am PT for your chance to win!
