For our final Alpha Flight donation drive of Desert Bus 2018, we have a stunning Wyrmwood Gaming Dice Vault! Made from purpleheart wood, known for its distinctive variety of natural purple hues, your dice will be kept stylish and safe.
Interested in this beautifully crafted lot? Please donate $5.75, or multiples thereof ($5.75, $11.50, etc.) until 6:36PM PST!
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!
Our latest donation drive is a very special Take This ‘Limited Edition’ Prize Pack, which contains all our most prized items! Two limited edition pins that you can only get at conventions we have attended: A Psychchomancer Pin designed by Mike ‘Gabe’ Krahulik from Penny Arcade (only about 250 remain)! and a Castle Shield Pin designed by Nick Trujillo. 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.
Please donate $6.17, or multiples thereof ($6.17, $12.34, etc.) until 4:30PM PST for the chance to win and support two great causes!

The final day of Desert Bus 2018 has us feeling all nostalgic. For this run’s final creative challenge, we would like you to depict your favourite Desert Bus 2018 memory in the creative format of your choice (pictures, gifs, poems, etc.).
Submit your entries to contests@desertbus.org with the subject line “Favourite DB2018 Memory” until 5:30PM PST, and you could win a Desert Bus 2018 T-shirt! Be sure to include the name you would like to go by should you win.
Have you grown bored of reusable weapons? Has endlessly cleaning blood off your blade lost its lustre? Our latest donation drive holds the answer in this glass katana, guaranteed for precisely one swing!
To be in with a chance of winning this beauty, please donate $7.45, or multiples thereof ($7.45, $14.90 etc.) until 1:45PM PST!
Please take care when handling, this is legit sharp.
We here at Desert Bus would like to take a moment to recognize one of our very generous food and drink sponsors, Six Mile Pub & Eatery. As most of your know, a lot of the Desert Bus crew are stuck here for many MANY hours during the run and, as as it turns out, we need food and drink to survive (who knew, right?). We couldn’t make it through this event without the generous support of sponsors willing to provide us with the sustenance and energy we need!
Located at 494 Old Island Highway, Six Mile Pub & Eatery continues to be the “Living Room” and the “Dining Room” of the community, the Six Mile Pub has her reputation firmly rooted in the quality of her products and services.
Thank you, Six Mile Pub & Eatery, for your wonderful donation to the Desert Bus crew!
Emily has been knitting during our runs for 4 years now! Every year she finishes the project during the stream and it gets given away at the end!
This year is an infinity scarf based on the one from Black Panther. Check out her story about it here.
Donate $5.36 – or multiples thereof – until 12:30pm PST to get a chance at this beautiful scarf!
We’re running out of time and out of stuff to give! We have three more silent auctions up for bidding, so check them out before the end at 6pm PST!
First up we have the gracious provider of a keg of beer for our after-party! The high bidder for this lot will receive an official “Beer Provider” certificate 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.
Next up is a handmade, miniature chocobo named Sable! Comes complete with collar, tag, and “wing support bar” for when she wants to strike a pose.
And last up is The Hobbit baby blanket! Soft as an Elf’s skin, and warm as the fires of Mount Doom, your little one will be as content as Hobbits at a feast.
