We’re beginning to sense a trend in the items assigned to Night Watch… seems like you all like Magic: The Gathering, so how about trying your luck on this Magic Double Masters VIP Box?
Twice the rares, twice the fun! Double Masters introduced a new twist on the Masters set: each booster pack contains two rares or mythic rares. But the VIP Edition is no mere booster pack. Each VIP edition contains 33 cards and 2 foil tokens. The cards include two rare or mythic cards with borderless art only found in the VIP Edition. It also contains two other foil rares or mythics, 8 foil uncommons, 9 foil commons, 10 full art basic lands, and 2 foil full art basic lands.
Donate $8.02 or multiples thereof before 7:00pm PT for a chance to win!
We’re forty-five minutes away from a live auction here on Night Watch! This 3D felted Totoro and Friends wall art is already waiting at the bus stop, which historically we are really very super good at stopping at and totally not missing our stops at all. Yep.
Make sure you come by the Desert Bus stream at 7pm PT for a chance to save these sweet munchkin creatures from the rain!

Sometimes it’s really exciting to hang out with guests or have live auctions! And sometimes it’s just nice to sit together and hang out for a bit. With a wide open schedule during today’s Alpha Flight, we just took the afternoon to hang out with all of you.
Here’s some of what you missed during today’s Alpha Flight…
We begin Alpha Flight with a streeeetch:
Jacob takes over engineering:
We get to know Cameron a little more in Lauder Than Words:
Time for another edition of Erika’s Trivia Challenge:
Just a nice moment of quiet together:

You might know Jacob from such works as being on your computer screen or TV right now! But did you also know that Jacob is also an accomplished voice actor, vocal director, tabletop and video games writer, and helps run your favorite indie game publisher, so long as that favorite indie game publisher is Ysbryd Games?
Jacob, this guy here, has graciously agreed to use his time and abilities for you however he can, within reason!
Got a project that you’d like voiceover on?
2 hours of VO and editing are yours.
Want to DO the voice over?
Well then, 2 hours of private coaching and info are what you get!
Don’t need those? Then Jacob will run a custom one-shot of Dungeons and Dragons or World of Darkness setting for you!
(Both previous years winner took a shot outside the box and Jacob agreed. One asked for help with poetry reading and feedback and the other asked to guest on their podcast, The Turtle Stack. So you know, ask I guess?)

We here at Desert Bus for Hope would like to take a moment to thank one of our Prize Sponsors for this year’s event: Card Kingdom!
Card Kingdom is owned and operated by brothers John and Damon Morris. They began their adventures in the collectables game as kids, learning the business by selling baseball cards at local swap meets. In 1999, they opened Card Kingdom in John’s basement, and before long they quit their day jobs to focus full-time on making Card Kingdom the best place on earth to buy Magic cards. Since then Card Kingdom has grown into one of the world’s biggest retailers of Magic: the Gathering, with two brick and mortar locations in the Seattle area.
Thank you Card Kingdom for your continued support of Desert Bus for Hope!

Hey Commander players… we’re kicking off a giveaway for this hand-crafted Witherbloom Commander Bento Box! Here’s a few words from the crafter…
When you’re enrolled in the multiverse’s premier institute of life (and death) sciences, you need to be prepared for all kinds of field work. This special issued Witherbloom bento box can hold all the spells and snacks you need.
Made from wenge and purpleheart and lined with hunter green velvet, the main compartment of this sturdy box can hold a double-sleeved 100 card deck with a little room to spare. The side compartments can hold your snacks (pest tokens?) and dessert (sparkly dice?), or maybe other potion components. The maple and walnut inlay on the lid reminds your opponents who they are dealing with, in case the swamp smells
This bento box also comes with a platter of 16 engraved walnut Pest tokens. Please do not snack on the tokens. Unless you’re a legendary creature who can turn them into tea and/or +1/+1 tokens. It does not come with cards / decks though.
Dimensions: about 6.5 by 4.75 by 3.5 inches, or 16.5 by 12 by 9 cm
This deckbox was finished with a plant-based finishing oil that may have nut contamination. While the finishing is food safe it’s not intended for actual food storage.
In any case, do not lick the box.
Log in to or sign up for a donor account, then donate $7.16 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize! We’ll run this giveaway until 3:45pm PST.
We’re starting a giveaway for this Huggable Hypnos Plush Doll! Here’s a few words from the prize’s crafter…
“Huh. Says here that you crashed the bus. Have you tried…not doing that?”
There is no escape from the Desert Bus, so why not make yourself comfortable by taking your very own Chthonic Companion along for the ride- everyone’s favorite Underworld door greeter, Hypnos! Inspired by the character from Supergiant Games’ Hades, this 20″ stuffed animal version of Sleep Incarnate is sure to provide you with sweet dreams wherever your journey takes you.
Hypnos was meticulously handmade over a span of 35+ hours using cottons, velvets, art yarns, felts and faux fur, with huggability in mind. Useful for cuddling as you drift off to sleep, watching that comfort movie with you on the couch, or adding a bit of drowsy cheer to your collector shelf!
His clothing is fully removable for washing or playing dress-up – the prize winner will be provided with care instructions!
As if having the God of Sleep in squishy format wasn’t enough, he comes with a few extra perks to reward your generous donations:
- a matching human-sized sleep mask;
- a replica of his ever growing List, embroidered with the Desert Bus logo;
- a replica Chthonic Coin Purse (to hold all your loose change for the Boatman)
Log in to or sign up for a donor account, then donate $8.33 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this giveaway until 2:30pm PST.
We here at Desert Bus for Hope would like to take a moment to thank one of our returning Technical Sponsors for this year’s event: Elgato!
Thanks to the generous support of Elgato, we’ve been able to deck out our “bus from home” broadcasters with the flexible and high quality gear they need to put on a great show from anywhere. From Green Screens to Key Lights to Stream Decks, their equipment helps make the hybrid bus possible, both in the Moonbase and at home. And without great gear, how else are you going to bus from the beach? Or a haunted house? Or from outside the realm of reality, where you have transcended all of the multiverse?
You may have heard some of our entertainers shout-out Elgato on stream for their generous sponsorships, so here’s a peek behind the curtain to see how their gear is integrated into the run both at the Moonbase, and with our remote entertainers & engineers.
