Rogues in the House

In this episode of Rogues in the House, Logan, Matt, and James talk about the importance of POV as it related to Sword & Sorcery and Dark Fantasy. If you can't iron down your point-of-view, then you've got a pile of garbage no matter how good the prose is. They talk about different styles of POV, multiple POV, psychic distance, and the purpose of a narrator.Bazaar Picks:Blue Fire (Jirel): https://www.backerkit....​Kingdoms Trembling: https://dmrbooks.com/k...​The Darkest Deep: https://amzn.to/4vlLyVt​HAWK THOSE WARESHonor Among Rogues: https://amzn.to/3PM0uwH​JANGAR!: https://amzn.to/4dwXsFD​Logan's Substack: https://ldwhitney.subs...​The Weight of a Torch: https://thearcanist.ne...​SOIL: https://magazine.thear...​Arcanist Magazines: https://www.backerkit....​James's Substack: https://jdmauthor.subs...​Cormac MacArt: https://www.penguinran...​To Walk on Worlds: https://a.co/d/0iM8Ufoq​Matt's Substack: https://matthewjohnaut...​
