Holy Bus, where did the time go?!
Join us in remembering some highlights from the final Alpha Flight of Desert Bus 2018!
We watched a rocket!
A test fire alarm almost frightened us out of the building.
Psychic detective Tabby and her trusty partner Pika were on the mysterious case of the dead body!
Yakety Sax crashed the bus!
We were serenaded by James.
Andrew was too sexy for his outfit.
Snorsh Lady and Hype-Man read us The Weagle-wocky.
Zeta AND The Dawn Guard came early!
We hit $625,000!
Thank you to everyone who has taken this journey with us, you make Desert Bus awesome! See you next year!

There is less than an hour to go on the final silent auctions of Desert Bus 2018! See what’s on offer below!
Provide a keg of beer for the Desert Bus after-party! The high bidder for this lot will receive an official “Beer Provider” certificate, our eternal gratitude, and the satisfaction of knowing they helped get the Desert Bus crew tipsy (on something other than sleep deprivation) after a week of utter insanity. Currently sitting at $2696.90!
Do you harbour a deep desire for a chocobo of your very own, but have found they’re just too big? Drake Chocobo Ranch has the solution for you, in the form of Sable the House Chocobo, with a high bid of $1666.66!
Soft as Elven skin, and warm as the fires of Mount Doom, your little one will be as content as Hobbits at a feast bundled up in The Hobbit Baby Blanket, going for $600!
These auctions close at 6PM PST!

A special ambrosia maple with a turquoise inlay Hope Shield made by Wyrmwood Gaming – There were only 100 of these shields made as part of our 2017 Kickstarter campaign.
PLEASE NOTE: 50% of proceeds go to Child’s Play, and 50% go to Take This, a mental health nonprofit serving the game community/industry that provides resources, guidelines and training about mental health issues in the game community, thus reducing the stigma of mental illness.
