Lesson # 154 - Skill Challenges and Dragons

On this lesson of Detentions and Dragons, Josh and Matt talk about a narrative driven way to play out a scene in D&D, the skills challenge. They discuss the basic mechanics of skills challenges, rules for the challenge and model one themselves. There is also bonus music and sound effects!

Some people we'd also want to credit in this lesson.
