Been busy the past week or so, expecting to be just as busy for the next 1-2 weeks, but I managed to squeeze in a little writing time after work today. What I got done was the rules section of my NPCs chapter. Long story short, NPCs have simplified stats compared to PCs - instead of specific skills or approaches, they're just “Mindless Attack Drone +1” or “Benevolent Ruler +3” or whatever (kind of like cliches in Risus). Normal FAE rules about aspects and damage capacity, more or less.
I didn't get to it today, but the rest of the chapter is going to be sample NPCs - mostly bad guys, but no reason I can't throw in some good guys too. And of course they're going to be music references as much as possible (primarily metal, given the source material and desired tone, but it's not mandatory) - for example, the Sentinels are robotic birds of prey that scream for vengeance as they attack, and the Giant of the Black Sky is, well, a particularly threatening giant. I'm still working on it. If anyone is reading this, feel free to suggest more in the comments.
