OVERVIEW & MISSION:
Beginning in 1985, and formalized in 2004, The RPG Research Project is
a global and interdisciplinary community effort to research the effects
of role-playing games (RPGs) in all formats: tabletop (TRPG),
live-action (LARP), computer-based (CRPG), & solo adventures (CYOA).
This open community website was created in 2004 as a central repository
for past, current, and future research. Additional focus includes
studies on the therapeutic and educational aspects of RPGs. The
community is welcomed and encouraged to contribute to this site through
the many resources provided, including document archives, forum
bulletin board, chat rooms, audio & video archives, polls, surveys, and
more.
