Here is a summary of many observations I have made over the decades through various experiments in trying to optimize the RPG experience. This is from a huge pile of hundreds of documents I have written, spanning over 15+ years of research (and nearly 40 years of RPG experience). It will likely take me a year or more to finish integrating all that information into this document.

NOTE: This article focuses on pure entertainment RPG Professionals, not RPG Professionals in educational or therapeutic settings.
