[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 4773598, member: 529"] Wow, not what I expected for your skill challenges, but it makes sense. I've been going in the opposite direction, trying to disguise skill challenge's, not letting them know how many successes and failures they need or have, or even that they are in a skill challenge. So far it's been lackluster. I've been afraid of making my D&D game too "gamey" for fear that role playing will suffer, but that hasn't happened yet, so maybe the mini-game approach will be more fun without sacrificing role playing goodness. My players and I love cut-scenes btw. The Star Wars RPG encourages them, so I started using them in all my RPG's a long time ago. I've found as a DM that they are a great way of revealing "DM knowledge only" events to players that are just too cool to keep secret. It helps that they are good at separating player knowledge from character knowledge. [/QUOTE]
