While not a perfect set up for every dungeon master, it does present a system which can be tweaked and applied to most any game. I've used this specific form of skill challenges multiple times, and leaving the creativity of my players to solve these very cool non-combat encounters, has been a highlight of the sessions its been used in.

I recommend including the use of class features, racial traits, and spells if you decide to use this, as it offers even MORE creative solutions and ideas to your players, and lets them really feel like their character.

While the concept of a skill challenge for 5e is available for free, Almost Heroic's variation has useful tips and guidelines for DMs just getting started with this mechanic. I used them to prepare and run my last game session, and the players loved it. The pace, sense of threat, and opportunity for player creativity made it memorable for all.

I've really liked the skill challenges portraid in Guy Sclander's Bacon RPG channel. This document helped me see how to use something like that into my games. Thanks guys!

A nicely written concise guide on skill challenges. Very useful if you as a DM are unfamiliar or inexperience with skill challenges!

Well-written and useful, this book is a helpful supplement that adds tools for the DM to use in their games.

So glad that this is out in a written format for DMs to use! I just started listening to the Almost Heroic podcast and was instantly drawn in by the idea of Skill Challenges. 5e is the only system I've ever used for D&D, so I had no previous experience with the idea. I love how the system also for dynamic, interesting scenes for the players without having to relying on the often slow combat system of 5e. The PDF explains the Skill Challenge adaption clearly and provides great examples. I was hoping to add something new to my sessions this weekend, so thanks for the timely release GDDM and Almost Heroic!
