I bribe my players with little treats (XP, a little boost to any resource they can spend in game - Luck, Willpower, etc.) if they write fiction, draw pictures, make playlists, or otherwise engage with the game between sessions.
I can't recommend it enough. This is delicious tribute.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night
What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

Explore subterranean depths, face dragons, and discover what lurks beneath. It's classic dungeon crawling with modern design (i.e. it's good).
