Professional Second Banana
The Basics
What: RPG Limit Break 2016: A charity speedrun marathon for RPGs of all kinds, benefitting the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)
When: May 9-14, 2016
Where: Salt Lake City, Utah
Why: RPGLB 2015 was an amazing success for our first marathon - a great time was had by all and $46,000 was raised for NAMI. Of course we're doing it again!
Who: RPGLB 2016 Staff:
Charity
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) - Provides support, education and research for people and their families living with mental illness through various public education and awareness activities. Donations will be split between the Utah and US National NAMI organizations, and focus on general programs benefiting teens and young adults.
Viewer response to the cause of mental health awareness/support was overwhelmingly positive during RPGLB 2015, so we've decided to partner with NAMI again for RPGLB 2016. Charity selection is something we will continue to re-evaluate on an annual basis, based on viewer/community feedback.
Venue
With how great the community support was for RPGLB 2015 and how much interest I've heard in the next one, it's been clear from day 1 that we need a larger venue than a house to comfortably fit more attendees & visitors. RPGLB Staff has done a venue search with NAMI's assistance, and we've settled on the University Guest House hotel, on the campus of the University of Utah in downtown Salt Lake City (http://www.universityguesthouse.com/University-Guest-House-Listing). The hotel has free parking, and can be reached by light rail train from the SLC airport.
We will have two 720 square foot conference rooms for the event, one of which will be the marathon streaming room and the other will be for practice/hanging out. Based on the amount of conference room space we’ll have, we’re going to cap attendance at 100 people. If we end up hitting the cap, we’ll see if there’s any options to add more space - otherwise we’ll definitely pursue a bigger venue for RPGLB 2017. The hotel has a free hot breakfast in the morning and free coffee & tea available 24/7, and we are aiming to have dinner provided daily during the 5/9-5/14 marathon dates. In addition, there is a 24/7 convenience store within walking distance, along with some on-campus cafeterias. Downtown SLC also has many other restaurant options that can be reached via hotel shuttle, light rail, or carpooling.

Hotel Reservation Info
University Guest House & Conference Center
110 South Fort Douglas Blvd.
Salt Lake City, UT 84113
1-888-416-4075 (toll-free) or 801-587-1000
Directions: http://www.universityguesthouse.com/Location-Transportation
Alernative Hotel:
Salt Lake City Marriott University Park
480 Wakara Way
Salt Lake City, UT 84108
(801) 581-1000
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/slcup-salt-lake-city-marriott-university-park/
For people flying in, we highly recommend taking the TRAX light rail as that's only $2.50 each way (take Green Line from airport to Court House stop, transfer to Red Line, take Red Line to Fort Douglas stop). Trains run every 15 minutes between roughly 6AM-11PM MST, and the full schedule can be found at http://www.rideuta.com/uploads/route703dec2015sch.pdf.
Hotel rooms at the University Guest House (before taxes) are $109/night for 1-2 people and $119/night for 3-4 people (so a 4-person room would be approximately $30-35 per person per night if split evenly). Rooms at the Marriott are approximately $175/night for 1-4 people. Roommate arrangements can be made via the RPGLB 2016 attendees thread, once opened.
Room reservations at the University Guest House can be made by phone (the hotel unfortunately does not offer online reservations), at 1-888-416-4075, and need to be made by April 8th, 2016 to quality for our event rate (which is valid from 3 days before until 3 days after the marathon, so 5/5-5/17). Only 1 person per room (who needs to be at least 18 years old) needs to call to make the reservation, though the hotel will need the names of all occupants prior to check-in, along with whether or not the bill should be split. A credit card is needed to place the reservation, but will not be authorized until check-in. When calling, please mention that you're attending RPG Limit Break, so you get the event rate.
Alcohol is not allowed in the conference rooms or other public spaces at the hotel (by both RPGLB staff and hotel policy, since we don't have a license for serving alcohol at the event), but is fine to have and drink in guest rooms as long as everyone there is of legal drinking age (21 in the US).
All attendees must be at least 18 years old - minors are welcome to attend free of charge, as long as they’re accompanied by a parent/guardian that is registered & paid.
