Welcome to Zeta! Sleep through it? Have to work? Desperately refreshing the tab to see if Disney+ is live yet? No worries, we have you covered!

We start off with a super serious edition of Keep Talking and Nobody Legos:

Beej and Cameron showed off their EDC (Every Day Carry), and the mystery of why Beej’s coat is so heavy finally got solved:

Cameron shared how to tie a bow-tie. Sort of.

Missing Talking Sim while Desert Bus is happening? Don’t worry, Cameron, Cori, and Max did a special Desert Bus edition, just for you.

Ben and Cameron Present: World of Warcraft Molten Core Raid Reenactment. It gets dramatic, y’all.

And…

It’s time for our final Donation Drive of tonight’s Zeta shift! We are closing it down with a Magic giveaway, From The Vault: Realms & From The Vault: Twenty!

From the Vaults: Realms contains fifteen premium foil land cards from the history of Magic: The Gathering, including Grove of the Burnwillows, Murmuring Bosk, Desert, and the infamous printing of Dryad Arbor (Pro tip for telling your opponents Dryad Arbor apart from a Forest: it says “Dryad Arbor” on it!) From the Vault: Twenty celebrates the first twenty years of Magic: The Gathering. Featuring twenty premium foil cards, one from each year of Magic, including Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Fyndhorn Elves, Swords to Plowshares, and Cruel Ultimatum. This lot also includes a Card Kingdom deckbox and a collection of stickers.

You have until 5:45am PST to enter this drive with entries of $7.35 (or multiples thereof). Don’t wait on this one, it’s awesome!!

Roll 2d10 and check your chances to win our current Donation Drive, a set of four dragonscale dice bags in each of the shift colors of Desert Bus!

This set of 4 stunning dragonscale* dice bags are fashioned in colours that represent the Desert Bus shift banners. They can hold around 150 dice (not included), or whatever knick knacks you need a little pouch for. Coins, gems, teeth, the eyeballs of your enemies. They are multi-purpose bags.

They were crocheted by hand with acrylic yarn and have toggle closures to keep your eyeballs/dice safe. Each bag stands about 5 and a half inches tall and has a diameter of approximately 4 or 5 inches.

*no Chromatic dragons were harmed in the making of these pouches.

Donate $5.20 (or multiples thereof) until 4:20am PST for a chance to win this prize!

It’s Donation Drive time again! This time it’s a super exciting lot from Child’s Play!

Up first in this lot is a collection of hard to find Pinny Arcade pins. These include the Limited Edition Hanna pin, and the Kemper pins from PAX Aus 2013 and 2014, PAX East 2013, 2014, and 2015, PAX West 2013, 2014, and 2015, and the 2013 Christmas Kemper.

Next we have the Acquisitions Incorporated: Battle Royale cards. Used during the PAX East 2018 live show, DM Mike Krahulik continued his proud tradition of staunchly refusing to play Dungeons & Dragons and instead decided to make it into a battle royale game. These two decks contain equipment, resources and random encounters. You will also get a copy of Mike’s notes, allowing you to run the game for your friends, acquaintances, and enemies!

Thank you to Child’s Play Charity for the donation of this lot!

Donate $6.66 (or multiples thereof) until 2:45am PST for a chance to win this awesome prize lot!

Our first Donation Drive of tonight’s Zeta shift is the second Darkest Dungeon lot of the run!

Did you miss out on the first Darkest Dungeon lot? Never fear, Desert Bus has you covered! It includes the following:

Darkest Dungeon Art Book – An ominous volume containing arcane lore, illuminated with disturbing images of foul creatures and foreboding environs. What vile secrets must be sequestered away in this ancient tome?

Darkest Dungeon Limited Edition Diorama – A curious object that contains miniature representations of your stalwart soldiers and the monstrous entities they must do battle with. You can use it to plan your battle strategies. At the very least it will serve as a reminder of the lives of those you sent into the pit below.

Darkest Dungeon Game, DLC, and Soundtrack Steam Codes – Several strings of characters with no apparent meaning. The scribblings of a shattered mind, or a cypher created by a mind expanded beyond all human comprehension? (Includes the base game, all DLC, and digital soundtrack.)

Donations of $8.16 (or multiples thereof) until 1:30am PST will enter you in to win this excellent prize lot!

A new and shiny pair of silent auctions just went live!

First up, we have a hand-crafted Desert Bus for Hope themed board game! The current high bid is $555.

Next, we have a beautiful Kingdom Hearts Box Art Cross-Stitch! The current high bid is $1,275. 

Both of these auctions will run until 8:00am PST, so get your bids in now! Remember, to bid you will need to make a donor account. Not sure if your information is up to date? No time like the present to check!

We opened up Night Watch with a very special guest, Ken “Man With More Nicknames Than Stars In The Sky” Stacey!

Ian took a minute to teach everyone about the joys of fermented foods:

The Dump Truck arrived and brought something that totally, completely, was inedible. Probably.

If Desert Bus actually drove from Tucson to Vegas, it’s okay. Jordan has a plan to bring along the VST.

Sometimes on-air tech support needs to happen. Not for the stream, of course, but instead for Beej’s headphones.

Yes, and, there was an improv game:

And to close out the shift, The Angry Zen Master is here to help you get some sleep:

And that was Night Watch! Keep watching the stream for more goofs, and more money raised FOR THE CHILDREN!

We’re closing out Night Watch with our final Donation Drive, this time for these beautifully bound bundle of Dungeons and Dragons books!

The door to the captain’s cabin creaks in protest as you push it open. The abandoned ship sways and groans as you splash through the ankle deep salt water in the cabin. Most of the furnishings appear to be ruined, but your eye is drawn to a large locked chest at the foot of the bunk. The party rogue makes quick work of the lock and throws open the lid. Most of the contents are ruined but a set of black-bound books catches your eye. These volumes have curious titles like Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, Dungeon Master’s Guide, and Ghosts of Saltmarsh. You can tell that they are special, rare editions of these books. You quickly shove the books in your Bag of Holding. As you turn to leave you find your way blocked by the animated skeleton of the infamous pirate Captain Red Beard! Roll for initiative.

Donate $6.55 (or multiples thereof) until 11:30pm PST for a chance to win these beautiful books!

Our current set of silent auctions are set to wrap up in just under three hours. We’ve got a squishy cube for your cat and watercolor rectangles for your Magic: The Gathering games.

Get your bids in, because these silent auctions wrap up at 12am midnight tonight.
