RPG Limit Break is celebrating it's 5th year of Speedrunning RPGs for charity, specifically the National Alliance on Mental Illness or NAMI. It is a much more low-key event than Child's Play or the GDQs but i love it, i have watched since 2016 and the last two years i have taken my pre-SummerChaosAtWork holiday to coincide with the event and this year is no different. It started out in Essentia's House and has gradually outgrown there and has moved to a bigger venue as you can see from the early event playlists.
Date:
The event runs from 5th to 11th May 2019 in Salt Lake City.
The runs will vary in length from 33 minutes for Planescape Torment: Enhanced Edition Any% to nearly 11 hours for Final Fantasy X Any% with 9 runners taking part and hotswapping for that run. As you can see they are not afraid to run 4+ hour segments unlike GDQ etc. The longer runs are great for doing housework or grinding in your own RPGs which is part of my attraction to the event.. or even lounging on the sofa drinking Gin... i mean doing Housework. There are the usual prizes, donation incentives for naming characters or routes to take etc.
Some of the people involved:

EverH8 - You will see many of the runs have characters renamed to Everh8 or the like. Everh8 was a speedrunner, community member and friend to many of the runners and it's a tradition to get a few characters named for him as donation incentives.
... and a few of the usual suspects you recognise from GDQ also pop-up on the couch if they are not doing a run themselves.
The Demon Chocobo!
Imagine speedrunning an RPG. Think of all the menu work is involved and the speed and precision required. Now picture doing it with this as the backdrop. Welcome to Hell! Hope that the donors are merciful!
For an example screenshot see this Essentia tweet.
All Hail the Demon Chocobo!
Awww, FFVI isn't being ran this year so no Demon Chocobo as i don't think there's an analogue in other games. Sorry folks. I know it's a GDQ thing but many of the runners support both so there's some cross-over here.
