Some requests may be beyond the scope of our volunteers, and in such cases we refer you to others that may be a better fit for your needs.

Feel free to contact us first, and then we can decide if RPG Research is the resource you need, or if you should be referred to a number of other professionals in the field we can recommend based on their empirical evidence-supported practices.
