Pretty pretty dice

We’ve all had that friend who always has the nicest dice. If you win these beautiful Dungeons and Dragons 45th anniversary dice, you will be that friend, and it will be everyone else’s turn to feel dice envy.

It’s been 5 years since D&D5e; was released, as well as 45 years of D&D in general! In celebration of this, Wizards of the Coast has released a beautiful complete set of precision dice made from anodized luxury aluminum and a shiny blue coloring on the numbers, as well as one of the d20s that has an inlaid lab-grown sapphire in place of the 20. Not only that but the whole set comes in an exclusive custom dice box and dice tray combo, and so many more little treasures! The D&D Sapphire Anniversary Dice Set is a fantastic way to commemorate forty-five years of lasting friendships fueled by stories of imagination and adventure.

To enter this giveaway, donate $7.45, or positive multiple integers thereof, from now until 3am PST! That’s right, y’all, this is a long one, so plenty of time to get those donations in! As always, please make sure that your donor account is set up and up to date, so that we can shout you out when you win.

When last we left our fishy heroes, they were bravely splashing forth through an unforgiving alien planet, armed only with their wits, gills, and somehow, a computer. Now, they are faced with a choice: give the computer, or keep the computer?

Holy Bus it’s Penn & Teller!

202f94b1d1fc6ec9b47672d0f7feac9e

Penn & Teller are world-famous American magicians and entertainers who have performed together since the late 1970s, and are noted for their ongoing act that combines elements of comedy with magic.  More importantly (to us, at least), they are a BIG part of how Desert Bus For Hope came to be. Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors for the Sega CD contains the Desert Bus mini game, without which Desert Bus literally would not exist!

Penn & Teller are appearing at 7PM PST! Got a question for them? Tweet @DesertBus with the hashtag #DBPandT and we may ask your question on-air!
