~Unofficial Projects~
There have been a variety of unofficial RealGM projects over the years that are pretty fascinating! To help keep them from getting buried and lost, I thought it might be nice to keep a running list of these unofficial projects and studies run by various RealGM members. This list is by no means complete, so let me know if I missed any projects and I can update the list, or just reply with the other projects in the comments. Here they are, roughly categorized in chronological order:
