4-Part Mission Statement
1) To clearly establish, through rigorous scientific testing, the effects on participants of: music and all role-playing game (RPG) formats: tabletop (TRPG), live-action (LRPG), electronic (ERPG), and all hybrid variants (HRPG). In addition to determining the potential relevance of correlated factors, wherever possible, significant emphasis is placed on contributing to the body of causal research information.
2) Based on any available established research, from a variety of disciplines, using relevant evidence-based and theory-based approaches, RPG Research will assess, design, develop, implement & evaluate intervention programs using music and/or various role-playing game formats as intervention modalities for participants to achieve their recreational, educational, professional, therapeutic or other quality-of-life-enhancing goals.
3) Based on funding, staffing, and resource availability, RPG Research will provide these services to individuals, population groups, and communities where research indicates they may benefit the most from our programs, and advocate for accessibility and inclusiveness for the widest range of populations possible, especially those in under-served and un-served areas.
4) Whenever legally and ethically possible, all such research information will be freely and openly shared with the public to help further advance the global body of knowledge and overall improve the experience of the human condition.

We are a 100% volunteer-run non-profit 501(c) charitable research and human services organization with staff across 6 continents.
We have been involved with RPGs since the 1970s, researching the effects of role-playing games since 1983, and since 2004 we have been providing the world's largest free and open research repository on role-playing games, including the RPG historical museum archives.
We aggregate research and actively generate new research the effects of cooperative music and all role-playing game formats: tabletop, live-action, electronic, and hybrids.
We provide social cooperative community programs world-wide, and provide extensive accessibility advocacy and training.
Building on the research, using it to train our growing network of volunteers, our community, interactive experiential RPG Museum, and online programs directly help improve the lives of people around the world. The data from these programs cycles back to further the research body of knowledge and contribute to the archives.
