Greetings everyone! I'm a new user here, but I've joined in hopes of having a greater reach for an event I'm hosting next month. Some of you I have reached out to already on twitter (I'm @dabrofficial for clarity's sake), but I thought this might be a much easier hub for discussion/awareness.
The gaming convention is called Gamer's Rhapsody, and it takes place in Minneapolis, MN. We're in our third year, and as part of our expansion we want to host an RTA marathon with a similar format to RPG Limit Break or a GDQ. We'll be raising money for the charity Carbon Fund which focuses on raising awareness about pollution and carbon emissions, as well as using renewable resources to cut down. Dollars donated equals lbs of carbon reduced, so our goal is to make the event totally carbon-free!
The speedrun marathon will be titled Gamers Rhapidly. We're shooting for a minimum of 12 hours for the 'thon, but would love to see if we could hit 24 (or maybe more!). I've begun reaching out to local runners and some midwest runners, but I certainly don't have the network that is contained here! So it would be great to get a roll call from all the Midwest runners out there.
Our event has a pretty decent budget for lodging/accommodations for those runners that would be travelling from far away--so if you're in California or something, don't automatically count yourself out! Let me know what you would need, and I'll see if we can work it out for you.
If this is something you're interested in participating in, send an email to austin@gamersrhapsody.com (that's me!), and I will include you in the next round of emails going out on Tuesday. You can hit me up on twitter, or just talk to me right here. I'll be popping in regularly.
For now, here's some more information about Gamer's Rhapsody:
