Tabletop Role-Playing Games Industry comes together to support NHS Charities Together in #RoleForCharity

The Role Play Haven has teamed up with a whole host of UK publishers to raise money for NHS Charities Together through a bespoke charity t-shirt fundraiser which launches on Wednesday 2nd February at 2:00pm.

The pressure on our National Health Service continues to be relentless, but NHS Charities Together help provide the extra support and services needed to care for staff, patients, and improve health in our communities. Working with a network of over 230 NHS Charities, they listen to teams on the ground and invest in projects that help the NHS go further than what would otherwise be possible through standard Government funding alone.

The Role Play Haven t-shirt campaign will help them to fund things like counselling and the creation of outdoor spaces to improve staff and patient wellbeing, new technology and specialist equipment to enhance patient care, the training and equipping of thousands of emergency response volunteers to help save lives in local communities and research into long-term health conditions – such as long-Covid and many other conditions.

The #RoleForCharity t-shirt features bespoke, never before seen, artwork which has been created exclusively for this campaign by the veteran TTRPG artist Jason Juta.

As part of the purchase, supporters will also receive a one-off gift from each of The Role Play Haven’s sponsors in the form of PDFs, discount coupons and physical books. They estimate this bundle value to be over £100 and sponsors include; Brittania Game, EN Publishing, Handiwork Games, Magnum Opus Press, Modiphius Entertainment, Nightfall Games, Red Scars and Son of Oak.

T-shirts can be purchased here from 02.02.2022 at 2pm for £18, with a minimum of £8 per t-shirt being donated to NHS Charities Together.

The campaign will be a two-week pre-order to maximise fundraising and fulfilment will be completed by GMS Hobby Game Logistics.

T-shirts are not sent outside the U.K., but you will get the PDFs of the other stuff according to their site.

For those who'd be willing to pay the shipping, its seems pretty disappointing that its not available OUTSIDE of the UK. The PDFs don't matter as much to some...

Wait! A charity event to fund a government organization of one of the richest countries that ever existed?
There's something really wrong here.

There is something really really wrong here; it’s called “ a Tory Government”

Take the politics elsewhere please, folks. If you don't want to support the charity, that's up to you, but this isn't the place for political discussion.

That is a seriously awesome shirt. Even without giving to a great cause this shirt would be enough reason to buy in.

This would be worth it, as it has big boy T-Shirts, but alas, I'm not in the UK. It's also worth pointing out that of the 8 offers that come with it, only 3 offer an actual product for nothing. Everything else is a discount for a particular product, or a generic discount in the webstore.
If you don't play 5E, then it's not really worth it, to be honest. I'd do it just for the shirt, but that's out of the question for me.

But big +1's to the companies that offered actual products, including Morrus.
A roll with a disadvantage for the others. (Though for offering a general discount, Modiphius gets a standard save, no ads or disads)

People do actually donate to hospitals and such... its been known to happen whether is in a "rich" country or not. Government allotments of funds per hospital is usually low balled because there are so many hospitals that need funding.

Every NHS- supporting pressure group is strongly opposed to treating the NHS as a charity for the simple reason that it obfuscates government under-funding.
This is particularly the case at the moment when we have a government where corruption is so rife that £37 billion has been dodging spent on Test/Trace and around £9 billion has been wasted in contracts to government donors and cronies. Feel free to google the scandalous corruption of Owen Paterson, Matt Hancock and Randox as one of many examples.

This charity is absolutely done with the best of intentions and supported by good people, but the wider issues cannot be hidden. They are, often literally, of life importance.
When Nye Bevan (one of the architects of the NHS) stated, “I would rather be in contempt of the law, than in contempt of the poor,” he was talking far wider than a thread-ban on EN World, but the principle holds true.
I accept that I deserve a thread-ban and take it with no malice, and nothing but respect for Morrus and all the moderators, but can’t sit back politically from a thread that, by its nature, is accidentally political.
