Post Types On Game Academy

In the future posts on Game Academy HRO will be loosely divided into categories, defined by not only the labels used for the posts but also by the titles themselves. Currently the intended post types are as follows:

Gaming lessons

No, these are not going to be pretentious "this is what it means to be a gamer" posts or how-to-plays or guides on how to think. Gaming lessons are going to be site content engineered toward understanding and appreciating the history and significance of gaming in its myriad forms. These lessons will follow a class-styled naming convention, consisting of the lesson value (Gaming 101, Gaming 302, etc,) followed by the subject matter of that lesson. Start looking forward to "Gaming 101: What Is A Game?" some time in the near future.

Tabletop Concepts

Tabletop Concepts are going to be articles and even opinion pieces focusing on tabletop strategy and role playing games. In these the site will focus on discussions about game mechanics, systems, and the roles tabletop gaming has played in culture from a less historically-oriented perspective.

Reviews

While the long-term plan is to have reviews play as small a role in the site's content as possible given their abundance from other sources, reviews will nevertheless appear on occasion. Reviews will always be the opinion of the writer and not of the site as a whole, and will be labeled by the system the review is for, such as in the case of our Arkham Origins review.

Opinion Pieces

Opinion pieces and editorials, at this time, will not have any special naming conventions applied, so if an article or piece appears that does not have a colon in the name, it's automatically an opinion piece. While the long term plan is to phase these into only sporadic content, much like the reviews, the short-term is likely to see many of these pieces to help build content strength for the site.

More content types will possibly be added to our repertoire in the future, but for now, these are the types of content you should expect to start seeing in the near future.
