Lots of good advice to help make it better, and some good tips for skill challenges in general. Camelot - thanks for the roaches. I'm not sure that I want them to be so hard to kill, but it is a good starting point. I was also considering reskinning Kruthiks.Keenberg - re: Rolling Initiative in Skill Challenges. That might be RAW, but it often seems very clumsy. In a situation like I described, in the middle of combat, it makes perfect sense; but in a social skill challenge, I don't think that I'd ever use it. Personally, I'm not sure that it's always necessary to have every character involved in every skill challenge. It's a nice goal, but sometimes it just isn't feasible.Amaroq - I like the concept of breaking success and failure into more categories - any idea on how the numbers for the 'major' categories work out? I'm also a big fan of the improv skill challenge you described. Letting the players create the reality of the world is definitely something that I'm planning on including heavily in this campaign.Gamefiend - I've actually already read your essays, and I thought that they were very informative. That whole list of articles at Critical Hits should be considered required reading for anyone planning a skill challenge.</blockquote>
