For a more narrative side, I like how Carved from Brindlewood stuff tends to format the NPCs connected to various situations. One thing they do is a single "quote" that a) hits at what relevance the NPC has to the situation but also b) gives you a tenor of how they talk to grab and run with. I've been trying out that format for my mystery/investigation focused Daggerheart game, because you tend to have a large cast that may not stick around and so something succinct and grabby is niceEg:Scarlett, faery (??? Aged).Flowing red evening gown that hides her feet. Glamour wavers around slowly pulsing moth wings. Arresting eyes you want to tip into like a deep black pool. Quote: Oh aren’t you all just ADORABLE children.I also like how refined down BITD's NPCs are. Just a name and a couple of tags and a blurb. Further relevance comes from the faction or location they're tied to and its situation. That gives you the space to either flesh out if you want, or leave a gap to pull on player establishing questions.Eg:Flint. A spirit trafficker who trades out of a condemned manor house. (Weird, Calculating, Suspicious).</blockquote>
