We’re kicking off another donation drive! For the clever crafty puzzlers among us, this donation drive features a PDF copy of Puzzlecraft, a book that walks through the tips and strategies to make every kind of puzzle. It’s co-written by Mike Selinker, one of our guests from earlier today.

Donate $8.13 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 11:50pm PST.

Driving: Sunday, Nov.11th 10pm-10am

Cameron Lauder

A Cameron occurs when several billion billion cells become intertwined and bound together by ice, gum, or hair. Also called Cell Kings, Camerons are sometimes frequently viewed as ill omens due to their association with plagues and filth.

Cameron occasionally communicates via short bursts of text on twitter @unarmedoracle and also streams from home at www.twitch.tv/unarmedoracle.

Checking in on our silent auctions, we’ve got the belt for Desert Bus for Hope champions and a helmet for diving interdimensional beings. Take a look at some of our silent auctions that are running until 2:00am PST…

Driverweight Championship Belt

This November, November, November! Join us at the LUNAR MODULE ARENA for the Twelfth Annual LoadingReadyRun DESERT BUS FOR HOPE! Where, for the first time, anyone can earn the Driverweight Championship Belt worn by the 2017 Autumnal Rumble champions! Hand-knitted from machine-washable acrylic and polyester, this belt fits a 36-inch waist and will make a winning addition to your trophy case OR your plushie shelf! Don’t miss it, at DESERT BUS 2018!

Mark1 Tiny Diving Helmet

The Mark1 Tiny Diving Helmet is manufactured as a limited run prototype specifically designed to fit the inter-dimensional being Pepe from World of Warcraft! We aren’t sure where he’s from, or where he’s going, but we know he’s here and maybe needs to breath under water sometimes! 3D printed from an original design, painted, weathered, finished with acrylic porthole inserts and custom lighting electronics, the Mark1 Tiny Diving Helmet also features 6 lighting modes (selected using the pressure valve button) and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This will allow your orange friend to adventure deep within the briny depths where he can commune with the fish – the fish who know much. The cold, the dark, the whispering hunger. N’zoth beckons! Ny’alotha awaits! If your Pepe is going to get there, you’ll need a Mark1 Tiny Diving Helmet!
NOTE: Allowing the MK1 Tiny Diving Helmet to come within 10 fathoms of any Old Gods voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
