November 7, 2024: Desert Bus For Hope 2024 Starts Friday!

The best annual livestream about the worst video game ever made is back for 2024! Desert Bus For Hope is an annual livestream that raises money for Child's Play, an organization dedicated to getting games to kids in hospitals and using play to help patients cope with the physical and psychological rigors of treatment. Steve Jackson Games participated last year by donating items for the DBFH giveaway, and it was so much fun that we decided to come back this year! Desert Bus For Hope is a livestream in which participants play Desert Bus 24/7. This game is notorious for being one of the most boring (yet also most challenging) video games ever made, but you won't just be watching someone virtually drive from Tuscon to Las Vegas at 40 mph in real time. DBFH participants are on hand around the clock to provide a wide range of entertainment, including coffee pong, calisthenics lessons, dance parties, Lego build-alongs, and lively discussions about Magic the Gathering; Warhammer 40,000; TV; movies; and more. The hilarity factor increases as time goes on, and the positive vibes from all involved make for some truly feel-good viewing. Desert Bus For Hope runs from Friday, November 8. at 6:00 pm Eastern until . . . whenever the donations stop rolling in. (More on that here under "How donation/hours work.") Our giveaway package this year is a signed games collection that features the following items: Munchkin Gift Pack Knightmare Chess Munchkin Starfinder: I Want It All! The Awful Green Things From Outer Space GURPS Girl Genius Sourcebook & Roleplaying Game Want to bid? Create an account at desertbus.org, then tune in to the stream on Twitch, YouTube, or their website on Wednesday, November 13, from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Eastern. Bid responsibly, and thanks in advance for supporting a great cause!
