I may be getting the url wrong, since I can’t verify the tumblr page from work, but I’ve been saving a LOT of pictures from evilbuildingblog.tumblr.com (I think. Hope I got the url right.)
Probably this:

I’m in two D&D games (every Wednesday, alternating Sundays), and while a wiki/forum for those would be serious overkill, I keep the offline equivalent, bullet journals.

HA!
This entire thread is fabulous.

This inspires me, at any rate. Kaylee is tooling up for a masks game I’m running for her and three school friends, on Sunday.
She decided she wanted to be somebody who was sort of experienced with regards to superheroing and finally decided, between the Legacy and protege to go with the Protege. She has detective skills and 'impossible fighting skills. Her Mentor has detective skills and, as she puts it, “cheats with telepathy.”
I asked her why her fighting skills were impossible and she said it’s because she’s blind, then she started sending me stuff in our Hangouts chat.

I think that’s awesome. Sabine is a blind speedster from a fiction project I’m doing elsewhere on forums, and she’s gonna be good in a fight - probably not as good with someone who has that as a power though. 
Both the art and the cosplay look solid.
If this game needs a place to post stuff other than Discord, please feel free to spin up a Games sub-forum, and/or have people register. If it’s all on Discord, hopefully nobody minds if we peek in from time to time, if more stuff gets posted there.
At this point I don’t know where or if any of it will be captured, because we’ll be playing face-to-face at our friendly local gaming store / coffee shop.

Completely unrelated inspiration - I love how the new masks main book with the Play Books included includes moves that each Playbook might want to borrow from other Play Books. It’s a new addition, and a brilliant one.

Completely (well not quite) unrelated thing. At yesterday’s Game Day, @insomn14 brought over “Five Minute Dungeon,” which was a great game hoot, combining the best parts of D&D, Jungle Speed, and Pit. And co-op and fun.
And, in looking to put it up on my own wish list for the holiday season, I discovered there is an MCU-related version. So, comic books, not quite unrelated …

The shapes of stories, as computed by AI.
Yeah, I was thinking more about art or other creative spin-offs like this.

Thanks for the heads up about this. I was completely unaware of that addition and so downloaded the updated copy via DriveThruRPG (it’s $2.99 at the moment if for some reason someone didn’t have a digital copy). I was amazed at some of the suggestions… particularly because I didn’t realize some of the playbooks had some of those options. The Legacy has a move for pulling their punches? Who knew.

There’s a game in development called Girl Underground, which focuses on a central Girl (in the vein of Alice in Wonderland, Labyrinth, Mirrormask, Spirited Away, etc) having a adventure in a weird secret world, with her companions.
Only The Girl has stats. No one plays the girl. Everyone plays wondrous companions. You roll with The Girl’s stats.
There’s a write up of play playtest AP over here: http://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/blog/session-report-girl-underground
I can’t help but think there’s marvelous Doctor Who reskin potential for this.

“Curiouser and curiouser…” Alice thought herself the equal of anything, but as she pushed all the way through the looking-glass and found herself in a fantastical other world, all of her poise fell away.
She met the eyes of her host and gasped. “Why, it’s bigger on the inside!”
The Mad Hatter allowed himself to silently gloat for a few moments, then composed his features into a mask of mild surprise. “Oh? Is it, then?”
