We’ve got another donation drive! Do you love Rick and Morty? Are you scared of your own feelings so much that you’d rather turn yourself into a pickle than go through therapy? Well we’ve got a prize for you! This set of 5 Pickle Rick nesting dolls demonstrates a wide range of expressions, all hand painted on wooden dolls.
Donate $5.33 or multiples thereof until 8:00am PST for your chance to win!
Penny Arcade began life as a webcomic under the helms of Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik in 1998. Since then, they have grown into a powerhouse of digital entertainment with their own selections of video content, podcasts, webcomics, and the Penny Arcade Expo family of conventions. Most dear to us here at Desert Bus is their founding of Child’s Play Charity, without which Desert Bus wouldn’t be what it is today.
Thank you once again Penny Arcade, for your amazing support year after year!

If you’ve been following along over the run, you may have noticed that, as in prior years, the talented Michael Lunsford has been capturing the greatest moments from this year’s run on the official Desert Bus for Hope 2017 poster! From the beginning of the run, to the live dance party, to the saga of Ben, and more, many great moments are there.
And, if you’re curious what’s what, the Video Strike Team has put together a helpful image map that links the moments shown on the poster to video replays on YouTube.
If you want to pick up a poster, or other Desert Bus 2017 items, you can head over to the LoadingReadyRun Store. Or, perhaps you might be interested in a t-shirt? The official Desert Bus 2017 t-shirt reprint run is available for pre-order on the Fangamer store. Not only are all these items really nice, a portion of all proceeds goes to Child’s Play!
Starting now, we’re running a giveaway for a gorgeous wooden dice tray, crafted in the shape of an original NES. While it won’t actually play any old-school NES games, you can open it up and use the upper and lower sections as a dice tray. And, the classic brick-style “controller” will hold 10 casino-sized D6 dice!
Donate $10.85 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 11:50pm PST.

6’ Tall, Brown Hair, Brown Eyes. Attractive, but only in the eyes of those who love me. I have a scar on my right hand from playing with a SIM tool remover and one on my left leg from a trampoline accident in 1995. This one time I saw a bear.
