Silent Auctions: Running the Gauntlet

Risking your life to traverse a series of difficult areas strewn with enemies does not sound like my idea of a good time. But for some reason, as soon as you take that same concept and say "you can do it in a video game!" it becomes exactly my idea of a good time. And maybe yours? That'd be great, since both of tonight's silent auctions celebrate the danger-gauntlets that have killed so many digital heroes.


Ceramic Goomba, Bob-omb, and Spiny

A set of three classic Mario enemies rendered in gleaming ceramic. There's a red spiny, a brown goomba, and a black bob-omb.

If you bring these home, be careful where you put them. Stomping on them like Mario does is absolutely not recommended. But treasuring these little minions and subverting them to your cause is absolutely recommended!

Slay the Spire Embroidered Wall Scroll

An embroidered wall scroll hangs on a blue background. The scroll is a plain off-white color, and at the bottom it shows the logo for Slay the Spire. A series of tracks leads up from the bottom of the scroll, with monsters from the game crowding at the edges.

The path looks so simple when you step back and view it from afar. But then you see all the monsters crowding in around the sides and remember why it's so hard (and yet so enticing...) to Slay the Spire.
