Take the Risk does have just a little bit more nuance than your average Defy Danger move. I wanted there to be a way to push your luck on a total success, taking the consequence but rewarding with XP. But I didn't want to allow for a total success to not get what you want, avoid the consequence, and gain XP, because that's a little too boring and safe.
I'm glad you're liking the game so far! Let me know how it goes if you end up running or playing it.
