First up we have a beautifully made musical instrument called a Kantele!
If you’re curious what one sounds like, check out this very soothing video of one being played here

A Kantele is a traditional Finnish instrument. This Kantele uses a piece of sheoak as a sound board with natural edges with a sound box made of red oak. The Kantele has a deep bell like resonance that keeps the notes ringing long after the cord is plucked.

Next up we have these beautiful Mass Effect themed stone pendants!

This Mass Effect stone pendant set is inspired by a selection of favourite characters and themes. So whether you’re feeling like a lawfully good Paragon one day, or sassy questionable Renegade another; there’s a pendant for that. Also included is your very own Krogan, Turian and Asari – please remember to feed and pet them every day.

Make sure to keep an eye on these and get in your bids before they’re gone!

We all know it’s dangerous to go alone, that’s why you strap a sword to your hip. But you’ve got lots of other gear to take with you on your quests, and even more you’re sure to find. No matter if your adventures see you facing off against cosmic horrors from beyond the stars, or just having picnic lunch in the local park, a sturdy bag is an absolute necessity.

If you’d like to win this bag, donate $9.99 or multiples thereof for a chance to win! Make sure to submit your donations by 10:15am PST!!

This Gladstone bag (more commonly recognized as a Doctors bag) is hand stitched from two varieties of fine Horween leather, lined with an Ottertex waterproof canvas interior with water resistant zipper, and features a Fidlock Magnetic clasp that snaps closed from any angle but only opens one way. All to keep your roughly 6 Liters of gear Secure, Dry and Safe. Each corner is embossed with one of the four shift banners, and the strap for the fastener displays the Desert Bus Mon front and center for subtle but iconic DB pride.

Step into the World of Darkness in the newest edition of the classic role playing game Vampire: the Masquerade. In this game of personal and political horror you are one of the things people fear, one of the monsters that stalks the shadows and feeds on the living. But do you embrace that monster and give in to the hunger? Or do you fight it, clinging desperately to the last shreds of your humanity? While you struggle to maintain control, the vampire clans struggle to maintain the Masquerade, the centuries long tradition that has kept the existence of vampires a secret from humanity. In this pack you will get the Vampire: the Masquerade V5 corebook, the Anarch and Camarilla sourcebooks, a collection of clan pins (Brujah, Toreador, Ventrue), and a recreation of Damsel’s hat from Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines. This hat was only sold at PDXCON 2019 and is no longer available.

Did you miss Zeta? We missed you! Whether you were sleeping, working, or just taking a screen break, we have you covered with some of the highlights of last night’s Zeta Shift!

We began in the Animorph Crossing zone!

The gang had coffee. And horrible service at the cafe

And now, an ASMR break

Beej is away, so the Sandworms will play

Beej talked about his happy place- Princess Auto

 Here is just one of Beej’s many songs that we enjoyed:

The Kindness War continues. Shots fired from Alpha Flight

Us Huelligans visited the Pasadena Bunny Museum

Molly shook up the quiz formula with Cannabis or Mars Rock. The answers may surprise you.

Moon Base’s haunted

And we end out our day with the winners of our Animorphs Crossing challenge!

And now it’s time for every good Zeta member to go to bed. We’ll see you tomorrow! Meanwhile, keep your eyes on that stream to see what happens next! Because quite frankly, we don’t know.

MTG coaster

This set of twenty-five Magic: the Gathering themed coasters was custom designed and made just for Desert Bus.
They are made from quality three-ply, 4mm baltic birch plywood and laser cut into 4″ circles.
Precision engraved with a custom-built CNC mill, stained by hand, and waterproofed with polyurethane, these coasters are as durable as they are aesthetic.
In this set you not only get two variations of the five basic mana symbols,(one in color and one in golden mahogany) but also the ten guild symbols of the plane of Ravnica and the five clans of Tarkir(also in golden mahogany).

Sign up for or log in to your Donor Account, then donate $6.25 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this giveaway until 5:40am PST.
