We here at Desert Bus for Hope would like to take a moment to thank one of our returning prize sponsors for this year’s event, MomoCon.

Fans of Japanese Anime, American Animation, Comics, Video Games, and Tabletop Games come together to celebrate their passion by costuming/cosplay, browsing the huge exhibitors hall, meeting celebrity voice talent, designers, and writers behind their favorite shows, games, and comics and much much more over this 4 day event.

Thank you MomoCon for your continued support of Desert Bus for Hope!

The scientists at Roxley Games have been working on some new inventions for your board game library. This prize pack of creations from Roxley Games features one of their latest releases: Steampunk Rally Fusion.

Steampunk Rally Fusion, Roxley’s standalone follow-up to the original Steampunk Rally, is a (literal) engine builder board game. You’ll draft engine parts and boosts to attach to your racing machine, in a race to be the inventor that goes the furthest by the end of the game. This Deluxe Atomic edition includes metal cogs, a vac tray, as well as all the content from the original Steampunk Rally all in one box.

Not enough? Turbo-charge your racing with the Steampunk Rally Fusion Promo Pack, which adds 10 additional racers and 2 spoiler machine parts to the fray.

To top all that off, Roxley is also throwing in a deck of the beautifully designed Iron Spades playing cards and comfy purple Roxley Jersey, so you can show up at your next board game night ready to play. Ready… set… build!

This prize lot contains the following items:

1x Steampunk Rally Fusion – Deluxe Atomic edition
1x Steampunk Rally Fusion Promo Pack 2020
1x Roxley Jersey (Purple/XL)

Shortly before the Time Walk giveaway went live, our Desert Bus 2021 total stood at an incredible and much-appreciated $390K.

When the Time Walk giveaway ended, we stood at a whopping $460K. What a ride!

Thanks again to our anonymous Time Walk donor. Your generous gift raised $67,172.76 for Child’s Play in just 90 minutes! And congratulations to the card’s winner, who can now brag that they bought a Time Walk card for less than $10.

Last but not least, huge thanks to all of you out there who have supported Desert Bus with views, donations, suggestions for goofs – all of you make this great thing happen. We’re so happy to be doing this with you for the fifteenth year in a row!

It’s here. An actual, factual, Power 9 card: Time Walk for less than ten dollars. Specifically: donate $9.99 USD or multiples thereof before 9:30pm Pacific Time for a chance to win this card.

How do Desert Bus Giveaways Work?

Some of you are new here so let’s review how this works! First, you will need to create a Donor Account on this website right here, that you’re looking at: desertbus.org. Once you’ve created an account and logged in, click that big green “Donate” button up in the top right.

When the donation window comes up, select “Enter Giveaway.” The way this works, every bid of $9.99 USD is an “entry” into the giveaway, so if you donate $19.98 ($9.99 x 2), that’s two entries. You can enter as many times as you like, but please donate responsibly! Spend only what you can afford.

At 9:30pm PT, our Desert Bus crew will spin the wheel and randomly select a winner from all the entries we’ve received. You don’t even need to watch the stream to win – just donate – although we’d certainly enjoy your company! The winner will then be contacted via the information provided in their Donor Account and we’ll make arrangements for shipping!

What is this prize again?

We are giving away an unlimited edition printing of Time Walk, from the very first 1993 run of Magic: the Gathering. It’s one of the most powerful cards in Magic and has never been reprinted in its 28 years of existence. It’s even tournament playable!

AGAIN: Donate $9.99 USD or multiples thereof before 9:30pm on desertbus.org for a chance to win this card! Good luck!

Transmitting all the way from Rigel 4.5, longtime friends of the bus and consummate performers Andrew Cownden and Madeleine Suddaby are currently live with the crew of the USS Tucson.

They’re taking challenges from the chat and the singing has already begun, so hustle on in to the Night Watch stream to catch them while you can!

Just like your next Toreador PC, these Vampire: The Masquerade Notebook Covers are drop-dead gorgeous. They feature three designs inspired by Ventrue, Toreador, and Tremere Clans of the Camarilla and they don’t skimp on the details. Look at them!

Each notebook has been hand tooled with exquisite detail and gilded with metal foil accents. Since they’re notebook covers, you can bring them with you when the first (included) notebooks are used up – and thanks to the acrylic top coat, they are built to last as long as a Vampire Elder.

Donate $10.03 or multiples thereof before 7:30pm PST for a chance to lick the covers bring these beauties home!
