Checking in on our current silent auctions, we’ve got about 4 hours left on these beautiful soup bowls, inspired by Breath of the Wild.
Nothing beats a nice hot bowl of soup after a hard fought battle against all the monsters in Hyrule. This set of four handmade ceramic bowls uses B-mix clay and was fired to 1200°C in a cone 6 glaze firing. A band of Tunic Turquoise wraps around the outside of the bowl with the Hyrulian word for “SOUP” sgraffitoed into the clay. Further scientific testing revealed the bowls are operational with non-soup materials including stew, cereal, porridge and ice cream. A starry glaze coats the inside of the vessel, revealing the dreaded blood moon! Oh wait. That’s a tomato. These bowls are completely food, microwave, and dishwasher safe, so you can fully enjoy the broth of the wild.
This silent auction will be running until 10am PST; to make a bid, log in to your donor account and visit the Silent Auctions section of the website. From there, you can also check out the other auctions we’ll be running throughout the run.
For our next Donation Drive, show your love for Overwatch with this shiny brass pin, featuring the Overwatch emblem. This little pin was 3D printed, invested, and poured in brass. Then using electricity and a copper solution it was plated with a thin layer of copper.
Donate $7.60 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 5:30am PST.
Magic: the Gathering players! We’ve got a sweet donation drive going on right now for this lot of cards from the Conspiracy series. It’s a special set made for multiplayer fun and, because of its popularity, difficult to find. It’s a great way to bring together MTG enthusiasts and casual players for an evening of fun!
Donate $5.83 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 3:30am PST.
Agatha Fisty is the most pugnacious woman in the Commonwealth, but she hasn’t successfully battered all obstacles to bits. One such hiccup was the General Atomics Galleria Director, which earned it the dubious honor of a spot on The List. This watercolor looks forward to the comprehensive punching that the Director and its underlings will receive, painted in the style of Frank Frazetta’s “Conan the Adventurer.”
Donate $11.14 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 2:00am PST.
As is tradition, every year Andrew puts together a photo book compiling the greatest memories from last year’s Desert Bus for Hope. You can buy a softcover copy of this photo book during the run at the LoadingReadyRun store. Or, in this donation drive, you can win one of three exclusive hardcover copies of the photo book, signed by everyone here at the Moonbase!
Donate $10.34 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 11:50pm PST.

Things he’d like to do during his shift: “I’m going to let my imagination run wild, I have no plans for anything in particular at this moment. I’m gonna have some _fun_ though.”
Andrew is definitely an everyday ordinary human. Despite accusations, he can categorically deny that he is in fact three raccoons in a trench coat. Yep, he is one hundred percent human. Alright how do I get it to stop typing what I’m say—EAT TRASH BE FREE—Dammit, Jerry! Now is not the time, we talked about this.
