Goodness gracious, we have another Zeta under our belt! Were you there? Do you remember what happened? Because we only kind of do… If you weren’t there, here’s what you missed!
Zeta arrives on the scene, hot and ready like a Little Caeser’s pizza!
Did you know that you can replace “Christmas” with “Cryptid” in any holiday song? Let’s make December weird.

For one golden, glorious moment, Team Order achieved their ultimate limit break: seven sevens, or $7,777,777 earned across Desert Bus history. But for the rest of the evening on Night Watch, Chaos reigned.
Ambassador “Andrew” Rae Jepsen seemed strangely perturbed to find out that he’s not the only ambassador aboard. Apparently nobody told him that the mission of the USS Tucson is to boldly shuttle ambassadors across a barren stretch of space! But many ambassadors and otherworldly beings joined us tonight.
For starters, our perpetually lost Ensign Ben has apparently morphed into a being called ZorBen and he’s recruiting teenagers Night Watch to help the children.
We got a return visit from Ambassador Joe, who was kind enough to help drive the bus for a bit.
Then a being calling himself Skeletor invaded our bridge BUT FORGOT TO TURN ON HIS MIC.
Even Harry the Creepy Doll, who has always been here silently watching, took inspiration from all these visitors to throw an impromptu dance party. It was… viscerally disturbing.
Literally: viscerally disturbing. Harry’s guts started to spill out.
Naturally, we attempted to report all these strange visitations to Starfleet Command. Our call went straight to an automated answering machine apparently called What the Dub, but we waded through multiple sci fi clips with great patience. When we finally got a real person on the line, they told us “Sir, this is a Wendy’s.” No wonder Command hasn’t been answering our hails!
So we guess we’ll just go back to watching TikToks and eating from dump trucks.
Curl up comfortably at night or fend off your fear of the dark? Get you a blanket that can do both: the MTG Theros Gods Constellation Quilt.
Visit Nyx, the land of night and home of the gods, from the comfort of your own bed AND light up your room at the same time. All 15 of the Theros gods (does not include Xenagos; that jerk is dead) have been created with two colors of metallic heat transfer vinyl and enhanced with a hand painted glowing aura, on top of which they have twinkling LEDs connected by steel conductive thread and powered by a replaceable AND removable battery pack, so you can turn the lights on or off at will without sacrificing a single ounce of cozy blanket cuddlability. We made that sentence exactly 75 words long because there are 75 total LEDs in this blanket and we wanted a visual reference for how sparkly that is!
But wait! There’s more! Tuck your head under the covers to reveal a secret collection of 16 mythological creatures quilted in glow-in-the-dark thread amidst a scattering of stars.
Donate $7.50 or multiples thereof before 11:00pm PT for a chance to join (and snuggle) the gods!
We’d like to take a moment to thank one of our Organizational Sponsors for this year’s Desert Bus for Hope: Tiltyhouse Media!
If there’s one thing you need to successfully entertain a stream watched by thousands of people for over a week, it’s a camera. If there are two things you need, the second one is funny people! Thanks to the funny people at Tiltyhouse Media for joining Desert Bus (and Night Watch in particular) in the form of Ian “Hamfather” Horner and Coriander “no relation to Emily” Dickinson. We’re so lucky to have you here!
If you want a different approach to Magic: the Gathering, whether as a newcomer or as an experienced player who simply wants to mix it up, you might enjoy this Varia Starter Set!
Skip the draft and get straight to the battle: that’s Varia’s goal. Varia offers character classes with pre-built decks that each has their own playstyle. The starter set comes with two decks for the Volcanic Warrior (hit things go bang) and Shadow Assassin (think plan get stab), and has everything you need to start playing right out of the box.
