Great! It's going into the November issue. Thanks, Hawke. It is all so impressive.

Greetings everyone,

We've been incredibly busy and heads-down working on the Role-Playing Game Community Center facilities, and the new Third Edition of the Role-Playing Game Professional (RPGP) training programs, workshops, workbooks, study guides, instructor manuals, online Learning Management System (LMS), mobile and web apps, and much more.


One of the biggest changes with the RPGP program is a switch from the more college-academic style to a more "Trades Professionals" approach. With advancement now more along the lines of the Trainee, Apprentice, Journeyman, Mastery model.

The websites still have a lot of work to finish updates to the new Third Edition, so please pardon the contradictions as we scramble to overhaul the pages to fit the new paradigm.

We've always had significant research and theory in our programs, but we also prided ourselves on the most extensive hands-on, peer-reviewed, and supervised real-world experience not just classroom training, with the most intensive and in depth training offered anywhere for aspiring and established role-playing game professionals.

This is a MASSIVE amount of work to get all of the moving pieces fully into place, but the core is coming along and I wanted to come up from the intensive daily writing to give everyone a heads up about what we're up to.

As always, the training is free to volunteers who help out at the 100% volunteer-run 501(c)3 non-profit research and human services charitable organization, RPG Research, https://www.rpgresearch.com. We'll be resuming training, with the new Third Edition program, in November, we have a number of people on the waitlist so we're probably going to have to offer multiple training sessions per week to get everyone rolling with the new program.

For those that have a more extensive budget, RPG Therapeutics LLC at https://rpg.llc will be starting back up the training workshops based on the new Third Edition program around the same time for individuals and organizations that can afford the rates. This is extensive, intensive, and premium training. We have had a number of people attend some of our early pilot programs, who have also been through other organization's training, and stated things like, "I learned more in just a couple of sessions participating in your basic programs than in months, and thousands of dollars, at the other 'advanced' programs". We strive to be the highest standard in role-playing game professional training available anywhere globally, shooting for being second-to-none in depth, breadth, quality, experience, applicability, safety, efficacy, and more.

Volumes I (Part I training sessions 1-4 and Part II training sessions 5-12), II (sessions 13-24), III (sessions 25-36), IV (sessions 37-48), V (sessions 49-72) should be published in the next few weeks, with the subsequent Volumes VI - XI coming out periodically thereafter for the coming months, and Volumes XII - XXI throughout 2024+.

A high-level overview of this extensive Third Edition of the RPG Professional training and advancement program can be glimpsed on the RPG Therapeutics LLC website here:


To be frank, it has been an overwhelmingly huge task, and we have decided to let deadlines slip, in favor of really getting this Third Edition dialed in based on the tens of thousands of hours of feedback from prior participants. See the extensive list of supporting resources for the Third Edition RPGP that are in the works. Some of these are near completion, others will take some months to finish implementing (for example the mobile and web app additions in development). It is entirely possible these deadlines will slip again, but I am working around the clock to get the content cleaned up, based on the continuing stream of peer-review feedback I am getting with every draft through our Git Repository, Wiki, RPGSN.net Chatroom, and other contributing draft reviewers.

The RPGP programs are heavily research and evidence-in-practice (for over 45 years now), highly peer-reviewed, and iteratively improving constantly.

We look forward to your thoughts, insights, suggestions, and other contributions as we near the launch of this massive program based on the direct experience of more than 100,000 direct participants in our programs over the decades, and the many more indirect contributions.

We are still in the final weeks of the final drafts of Request For Comments iteration (after years of iterations), still open for any last minute fixes or changes before publication.

So this is your last chance to help directly contribute to the Third Edition RPGP programs before it is 100% locked in.

Warmest Regards,

Atualização da nossa política de inatividade da Conta do Google

Todos os dias, o Google trabalha muito para proteger você e suas informações particulares impedindo o acesso não autorizado à sua Conta do Google com nossas proteções de segurança integradas. Para isso, temos práticas de privacidade fortes em nossos produtos, que minimizam o tempo pelo qual armazenamos seus arquivos pessoais e quaisquer dados associados a eles. Queremos proteger suas informações particulares e impedir qualquer acesso não autorizado à sua conta, mesmo que você não use mais nossos serviços.

Por isso, estamos atualizando o período de inatividade das Contas do Google para dois anos em todos os nossos produtos e serviços. Essa mudança começa a ser lançada hoje e será aplicada a qualquer Conta do Google que estiver inativa, ou seja, que não foi conectada nem usada em um período de dois anos. Uma conta inativa e o conteúdo dela estarão qualificados para exclusão a partir de 1 de dezembro de 2023.

Como isso afeta você:

  • Essas mudanças só vão afetar você se a sua Conta do Google estiver inativa há dois anos ou se ela não tiver sido usada para fazer login em nenhum serviço do Google há mais de dois anos.
  • Embora as mudanças entrem em vigor hoje, a primeira exclusão de conta só vai acontecer em dezembro de 2023.
  • Se a sua conta for considerada inativa, vamos enviar vários lembretes para ela e para os e-mails de recuperação (se houver) antes de tomarmos qualquer medida ou excluirmos o conteúdo da conta. Esses e-mails de lembrete serão enviados pelo menos oito meses antes de qualquer ação ser realizada na sua conta.
  • Depois que uma Conta do Google é excluída, o endereço do Gmail dela não pode ser usado novamente ao criar outra Conta do Google.

Como manter sua conta ativa?

A maneira mais simples de manter uma Conta do Google ativa é fazendo login pelo menos uma vez a cada dois anos. Se você tiver feito login na sua Conta do Google dentro desse período, ela será considerada ativa e não será excluída.

Outras maneiras de manter a conta ativa:

  • Ler ou enviar um e-mail
  • Usar o Google Drive
  • Assistir um vídeo do YouTube
  • Compartilhar uma foto
  • Fazer o download de um app
  • Usar a Pesquisa Google
  • Usar o recurso "Fazer login com o Google" em um app ou serviço de terceiros

Esta política tem algumas exceções. Os exemplos incluem: uma Conta do Google com vídeos, canais ou comentários do YouTube, uma conta que tenha um vale-presente com saldo monetário ou uma conta que tenha um aplicativo publicado (como um app que hospeda outro na Google Play Store). Consulte outras exceções à política neste link.

Também oferecemos ferramentas para gerenciar sua Conta do Google e opções para fazer backup dos dados, incluindo a possibilidade de fazer o download deles usando o Takeout. Além disso, você pode usar o Gerenciador de contas inativas para planejar o que vai acontecer com seus dados se a conta ficar inativa por um período específico.

Nossa prioridade é que, se você escolher deixar a conta ativa, não tenha dificuldades com isso. Vamos garantir que você receba um aviso adequado antes que uma conta seja afetada por essa mudança. Assim, vamos enviar notificações prévias para a Conta do Google e para o e-mail de recuperação dela, caso tenha sido fornecido, informando sobre a exclusão. Verifique se o seu e-mail de recuperação está atualizado.

Saiba mais

Atenciosamente,
Equipe de Contas do Google

Este e-mail foi enviado para atualizar você sobre mudanças importantes na sua Conta do Google e nos serviços relacionados.
