Last Friday, as I mentioned in my periscope earlier, we had a new science fiction novel come out by one Justin Knight, of which I had the privilege of reading an advance copy. Praxis is the story of a group of humans going to a mining colony for the first time, mostly focused on the […]

Interviewed On Geek Gab: Today At Noon Pacific!
I’ll be interviewed about the recent troubles SFWA’s leadership has given me over my journalism in science fiction publishing.
Chuck Dixon To Join Alt-Hero Team!
I’m frankly more excited about this than my own involvement. It’s a stretch goal that needs to be met, but Chuck Dixon has been brought in to write issues 7-9 of Alt-Hero. If you’re not familiar with comics, Chuck is one of the most prolific and most highly regarded writers in the comic industry. He […]
SJWs Ruin Board Games: FFG To Kill L5R Tradition
Legend of the Five Rings is a game I’ve played since it’s inception in 1994, in both card game and RPG fashion. It was a CCG, similar to Magic The Gathering, and for a long time it was hailed as an alternative to the game. I thought it was better. It required stronger tactics, more […]
Alt-Hero and Project Update
Getting a lot of traffic again this week from both the Marvel #ComicsGate article and the announcement made last night about Alt-Hero. First off, a cool interview on my writing background just went live here. For those new here, hi! I’m Jon Del Arroz, geek entertainment journalist and science fiction author with a healthy dose […]

As We Win More Bigly, Our Enemies Get More Desperate
What a couple of weeks its been! First, I want to thank my readership for their tremendous support and faith in Gravity Of The Game.

It’s already getting phenomenal reviews from advance readers and it’ll be a great quick read for you as well. Commissioner Hideki Ichiro is planning a field of dreams on the moon. The World Baseball League’s viewership […]
Why Did I Write A Baseball In Space Novella?
I did a little informal chat on periscope earlier about this, and chatted about my process and where my ideas come from as best as I can. And a reminder, I’ve now got it set up where I’m broadcasting replays of the periscope on YouTube. So if you don’t know how to use the Periscope […]
Thursday Youtube: RPGs and Writing With Jeffro Johnson!
Jeffro Johnson literally wrote the book on RPGs and writing, a critical analysis that changed my life and my perspective on fiction in SF. The book is Appendix N, named after the famed appendix in the original Dungeons & Dragons, showing the influences of its creators in Sci-FI and Fantasy. It’s beautiful, and the genre […]
