Differentiation Between RPG Research and RPG.LLC

I am founder of several companies and many community groups/sites. Two of which are the non-profit RPG Research and the for-profit RPG.LLC. While both based on the same premise, the power of role-playing games to improve lives, they each have their separate bailiwicks. This page attempts to summarize those distinctions.

THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT WORK IN PROGRESS.
