Do I have your attention? Fantastic! We are running one heck of a donation drive starting up. Pinny Arcade has taken PAX by storm since it’s inception. Some Pins are easier than others to trade for/obtain. This one however is one of, if not THE most rare Pinny Arcade pin ever made.

Only 300 of these were made, and this is your chance to have one of those for yourself!

We are a running a donation drive where any donations of $8.88 or multiples thereof until 6 PM Local Time will get you a chance to win not ONLY this highly exclusive DLC Pin, but it also includes the Now SOLD OUT Desert Bus for Hope Pinny Arcade Pin.

Oh maaaaaaan do we have a fun art challenge going live right now! It is the tenth year of Desert Bus, and for several members of the crew this event has been a mainstay for a massive fraction of their lives.

James would like for our potential inksmiths in the viewership to design…A Desert Bus tattoo. There have been several members of the crew that have potentially volunteered to get a group tattoo, and we want your input.

The winner is going to not only recieve the knowledge that they are “potentially” designing a tattoo for us, but also a box of Conspiracy: Take the Crown!

This challenge will run until just before James’ shift ends at 10 PM. So email all your entries to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line “Desert Bus Tattoo” until 9:30 PM PST. Please include a display name that you would like to be credited as if you are selected as a winner.

DISCLAIMER: If you are chosen as a winner, it is not a guarantee that your design will be placed onto our skin EXACTLY as it is drawn. It would potentially be taken to a tattoo designer for further exploration!

Get ready to fire up those donations, we have a fresh drive coming your way!

History, fantasy, engineering and imagination are all combined in this fabulously fun board game! Steampunk Rally is a strategy game that incorporates steampunk as more than just a bit of chrome.

This game typically retails for just under $50 USD, so James has decided to run an old-fashioned $5.01 donation drive! Going until 4:30 PM, any donations of $5.01 or multiples thereof will enter you for a chance to win this great game!

Hey folks, we have just over 2 hours left on a few silent auction items! Kathleen waxed eloquently about them on stream but here are some quick links for you!

First up we have the stained glass Desert Bus Coat of Arms. We also have the Brass XCOM Pendant, and finally the massive embroidered Mario Tapestry

Get those bids in while you still can!

Thanks to all of your wonderful donations we raised a whole bus-ton for the children! We have picked a winner of the Desert Bus 10th Anniversary Jenga set.

Congratulations to chat user, GIFmaster and MODERATOR: CantWearHats!!!

Hot off the heels of our haiku challenge we have a fresh donation drive coming your way. Jenga has been a part of Desert Bus for years now, no more evidenced then by James’ sick skills!

For the next hour until 3:35 PM, any donations of $13.37 or multiples thereof will enter you for a chance to win a Desert Bus Tenth Anniversary Jenga Set!

We had so many lovely submissions from our poets in the chat. It was tough to create a shortlist much less pick a winner. Alas through all of our combined poetry knowledge we have decided on a winner of a Desert Bus 10 T-Shirt!

Congratulations to chat user Akaiatana with their wonderful Haiku!

Folks said we’re crazy

The obstacles in our way

Are Smoke and Mirrors

Enjoy your new T-shirt Akaiatana!

Now that the post is up: you might be asking what the heck is a Donation Drive? Happy to explain!

We have lots of prizes to give away here, and we want to make sure that everyone gets a chance to win! Every now and then, we open up a DONATION DRIVE to do that.

Until that deadline, anyone who donates $5.27 gets an entry into our random draw for the prize! Easy!

Oh, one more thing: you can always donate MULTIPLES of the donation amount for MULTIPLE chances to win!! So for this drive, a donation of $5.27 gets you one entry. $10.54 (which is $5.27 x 2) gets you two entries. $105.40 gets you TWENTY entries! Get it? Good! Get out there and donate!
