Magic: the Gathering's set March of the Machine introduced the concept of legendary team-ups, where adversaries would join forces to face challenges that would have exceeded what they could handle alone — working together really can be better!
Manufactured from flatbar stock, these hand-push-engraved coins are about 50mm in diameter and 2mm thick. These were fun to make. They come with toolmarks (because I am not a master by any means!) but I hope these can bring joy by being used as game pieces in Magic games, for example by representing treasure tokens or when a coin flip needs to be decided.

It's time for adventuring and retrieving loot from this amazing light box! This 11.25" × 11.25" × 4.5" lightbox recreates the cover art for the D&D Starter Set and Lost Mines of Phandelver. The depiction of four adventurers facing off against the mighty green dragon Venomfang amidst the ruins of Thundertree may bring back memories of your very first TPK. This lightbox is constructed from 6 layers of paper and backlit by white LEDs (powered by an included 12v DC power supply). The frame is painted green with three golden d20s on each side.

Today escalated quickly! During the first half hour of Nightwatch, we crossed the milestone for $500,000 raised during this run. And even while we were still riding that high, we found ourselves launched into the stratosphere as Desert Bus for Hope 2023 officially raised $10 million dollars lifetime for Child's Play Charity.
Ten! Million! Dollars! For the children!
Truly, hitting this milestone means a lot to us.
The evening was star-studded, with a visit from a long-missed friend of the bus. We got Alex up to speed on our current hijinks pretty quickly.
But hey, Desert Bus is not always about pulling new bits out of our butt-buckets. Sometimes we like to revisit the classics, especially when crafter Carrie Emmerich gives us inspiration by donating a detailed diorama to the bus. Summoned by their tiny counterparts, the crew of Qwerpline got together for an entire live episode.
That's probably enough for one Nightwatch, don't ya think? Zeta, take us home.... please. We're too juice-drunk to drive.
If you've enjoyed the Nightly Nightwatch News Nonsense, perhaps we can interest you in a morning radio show? Qwerpline features some of your favorite Desert Bus hosts as radio personalities sharing local news from the scenic town of Nsburg. If you like Qwerpline in its podcast form, imagine how much you'd like it in the form of a tiny diorama with an amazing level of detail, right down to working lights powered by USB cable.
Donate $10.81 (or multiples thereof) before 11:15pm PT for a chance to win Nsburg in Miniature: Qwerpline Diorama.

You know what you want. Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. But how do you keep it hot? Maybe by wrapping it up in a cute little Star Trek uniform that'll hug the curves of your mug like a fitted spandex onesie (except its made from wool). Watch out for the red cozies, though. They might make you spill your tea.
Donate $5.55 (or multiples thereof) before 9:40pm for a chance to win the Star Trek Uniform Mug Cozies!
It takes a lot of equipment to run Desert Bus for Hope. We wouldn't be able to run this stream without equipment from Elgato. From Stream Decks to key lights to green screens, we wouldn't be able to do what we do without Elgato.
Thanks Elgato.
Tonight, Desert Bus for Hope reached an unfathomable milestone: Ten. Million. Dollars. Raised for Child's Play Charity over the event's lifespan. Did you get that?! Do you comprehend? Because we sure don't. It is incomprehensible.
We literally wouldn't be here without our Volunteers, Sponsors, and YOU. Thank you for being with us on this journey into the broken day-night cycle that is Desert Bus. These moments of silliness are the vehicle for bringing comfort to children in hospitals and making an incredibly difficult life experiences a bit more bearable.
If you'd told us in 2007 that this would be the future of Desert Bus for Hope, we'd never have believed you.
We're still live and still going for at least another 155 hours. Your donations literally drive us to keep going, keep dancing, and keep giving. Onwards to the next $10 million!
