The Kindness War between Alpha Flight and Zeta has been going back and forth all week. Let us remember the eternally grateful and the beneficiaries of the Kindness War.
We’re challenging the community to develop a monument to the Kindness War, all the stickers and baked goods and lovely words that have been exchanged back and forth over these past few days.
Submit your creation attached as a JPG or PNG to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line Kindness War Monument. Be sure to include the name you’d like to go by should your submission be shown on-air.
We’ll run this Creative Challenge until 4:30pm PST. The winner of this challenge will receive a Desert Bus for Hope 2021 T-Shirt and Gold DBloon!
Dawn Guard is about to go, but we’re leaving behind a few wonderful silent auctions!!!! Just gotta…find them….hold on….
THERE WE GO!
First we have a For The Love Of Q*Bert Purse
This Q*Bert themed purse is just what you need to carry all those things you must take with you. On the front, we have Q*Bert (on his pyramid of course!), Coily and Magic Ball – along with those famous “bad words” that come out of his mouth! On the back, you’ll find Slick admiring the adorable heart reminding you of the great cause your purchase supported.
Next up we have some Needle Felt Nat & Flick figures from ACNH!
They are both made from wool roving felted around a wire armature for shape and posability, with hand-sewn clothing. The accessories and details are made from all sorts of materials, including wood and felt nets, polymer clay horns, a resin bug-box, a felt-covered straw hat, and some thrift-store earrings. Nat stands at 17 inches (42 cm) tall, and Flick stands at 16 inches (40 inches) tall.
Now Dawn Guard is off, but we will see you again tomorrow!!! And until next time…
Donate $6.78 or multiples thereof before 11:45am PST for a chance to win these MtG Secret Lair drops!!
Sometimes you don’t need your Secret Lair to be filled with rare or niche cards. Sometimes you just need the bread-and-butter staples. Mountain, Go features four different alt-art printings of Lighting Bolt (In foil, BYO basic Mountain). A Box of Rocks helps you keep your mana fixed and ramp you to your big cards. This set includes alt-art versions of Arcane Signet, Commander’s Sphere, Chromatic Lantern, Gilded Lotus, and Darksteel Ingot (in non-foil).
Thank you so much to another one of our wonderful sponsors, Gehenna Gaming!
Gehenna Gaming provides unique horror gaming experiences to fans of TTRPGs with a focus on safety, consent, and inclusivity. We produce a variety of actual plays on our Twitch channel, such as Gehenna Academy (Monsterhearts 2) and our Saturday Night One-Shots (SNOS) educational series where we teach viewers new game systems. We also create an ongoing Horror podcast where we interview game developers and writers, horror movies actors and directors, ghost hunters, paranormal investigators, and other horror aficionados! Our bread and butter, however, is live gaming events where we organize and run hundreds of tabletop RPGs for horror fans at game stores and conventions around North America.
Tired of your home life? Is your dad just unbearable? Is your extended family sending you really mixed messages? If you answered yes to any of these questions then this Hades painting is for you. This 20-inch diameter, round canvas, Greek inspired painting was painstakingly crafted while you were off dying. Again! Hang it on your wall or give it to your favorite nephew who is really going through it. Don’t forget: there is no escape!
