A very cool take on the Skill Challenge concept. The concept of a Total Success and Fail per check rather then adding successes and failures was simple, nice and makes it work over other concepts I have tried. The Complication section in each challenge added a lot of theme to each challange. We have used the concepts in this book for many of our stories to add non combat related challenges but still have fun rolling the dice. One thing that would have added another element for me would have been a section on results for a Total Failure on a check. ie some kind of cost to the PC or group to increase the tension (basics would be wounds or strain,but a section like Complications would be cool).
