We have been joined in The Bus Place by Mike Selinker and Trevor Kidd of Lone Shark Games! (And have already traumatized them by taking them to the store)

In spite of that, they have still generously donated a prize for our newest donation drive!

The Ninth World: A Skillbuilding Game for Numenera, is a card game for 1-5 players who explore the Ninth World in search of strange creatures and cryptic artifacts. Signed by Mike Selinker, this copy includes a set of the cards, a Ninth World play mat, AND the Desert Bus Challenge Coin!

If you are interested in this glorious pile of loot, please donate $9.51, or multiples thereof ($9.51, $19.02, etc.) until 4PM PST!

Donate $7.69 for the next 35 minutes (ending at 2:45pm pacific) to be entered for a chance to win Lord Loading Ready Run’s Duelling Light Sabres 

Here we have, donated by Lord Loading Ready Run, a pair of wooden duelling Lightsabers. The first was made, some one hundred & eleven years ago, from the finest Leadwood in all the land. The grip carved to suit the soft curve of a gentleman’s hand. With Ash wood added as the controlling button for the contrast of colour. The second was carved from Elm amear eighty years ago. It has a more traditional handle, for extra grip, for when one is doing back-flips over lava. What truly makes this piece unique is Lord Loading Ready Run had his family crest engraved in blue onto this piece. For more info and photos, click here!
