Gametopia Chronicles • Editorial Standards
Our recaps and listings are written for adult tabletop clubs: what happened, who hosted, what format was played, and what’s coming up. These standards keep updates scannable, comparable week to week, and easy to correct.
Every meetup recap follows the same structure so readers can scan standings, find the “what changed,” and understand any rules calls without editorializing. Use neutral language and keep claims tied to observed play.
For what qualifies as publishable meetup info, see Meetup listing rules.

If any detail changes after publication, follow the corrections policy and timestamp the update.
How we structure listings so adults 40–60 can quickly scan the essentials. Listings may be updated as details change.
Subject to change We place this note near the top of each listing when any key detail is pending or likely to move.
Common reasons: venue confirmation, final headcount/cap, or a host schedule change. If the date changes, we update the listing timestamp and note what changed.
A listing is eligible for publication when it includes the items below. If something is unknown, we publish only when it’s clearly labeled as pending.
| Field | What we need | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Date & time | Start time, expected end time, and time zone if outside local | If flexible, include a latest-possible start window. |
| Venue / location | Name + address (or “online” + platform) | We avoid private residential addresses; use a public meetup point instead. |
| Host | Host name/handle and how to contact (link or email) | We don’t publish personal phone numbers unless explicitly requested. |
| Format | Open play, league night, teaching table, tournament, etc. | Include player count expectations when known. |
| Cost | Free / cover / table fee + what it covers | If a purchase is required, we state it plainly. |
| Capacity & RSVP | Seats available + RSVP link or “walk-ins OK” | If capped, we place the cap near the top of the listing. |
| Accessibility | Stairs/elevator, seating type, noise level, and parking/transit notes | We write what’s known; we don’t infer. |
| Game / theme focus | Primary titles or genres, plus what’s provided | If bring-your-own is expected, we say so. |
Listings should be informative, not promotional. We avoid hype, guarantees (“best night ever”), or unverifiable claims. For recap tone and structure, see Recap template.

Neutral language: We focus on verifiable details and avoid speculation. If a correction request involves disputes or sensitive claims, we may limit updates to confirmed facts or add context instead of rewriting the recap.
