How do you think an Overwatch team consisting of a Sombra, a Widowmaker, a Torbjorn, and two Genji’s would do? Probably not great, but what is great is this collection of signed Overwatch 
figures! Featuring Funko Pop figures of Sombra (signed by voice actor Carolina Ravassa), Widowmaker (signed by voice actor Chloe Hollings), Torbjorn (signed by voice actor Keith Silverstein), and Genji (signed by voice actor Gaku Space), as well as a Nendroid Figma of Genji, signed by Gaku Space!

Zeta is sleepy, and we need a nap. And we want you to tell us what we’re dreaming about!
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to draw one or more members of Zeta shift asleep on set, and what they are dreaming about. Is it their own bed? Is it taking over the world? Is it finally being awake during Alpha Flight? You tell us!
Send your art (Please include your user name somewhere in the file name) to contest@desertbus.org. The subject line MUST include the words Zeta and Dream, and MUST be in .jpg or .png format. This contest will run until 4:30am PST, and the winner will receive one of our Desert Bus For Hope 2019 t-shirt, and a 2019 DBloon!

However, there can only be one, so CONGRATULATIONS to our winner, Technic AL:
As always, thank you SO MUCH to everyone who participated, your entries were all amazing!
The modern tabletop gaming enthusiast has a lot of dice to carry around, so it might as well be done in style. Instead of a simple box or some nondescript bag, why not store your polyhedrons of choice in a wooden case resembling a 30-year-old piece of electronics?
This beautifully handcrafted dice tray is made out of poplar, stained to the classic gray of the original Game Boy with accents of purple heartwood and ebony, in honor of its 30 year anniversary. Inside the lid is a cross-stitched tableau of beloved Game Boy characters, done in the classic pea soup green colors. A magnetic latch holds the lid tight, ensuring your dice make it to their destination safely.
Donate $9.89, or multiples thereof ($19.78, $29.67 etc.) until 11:45PM PST to be in with a chance of winning!
