Penguin offered a one-shot for three folks, only two of which showed up. He still ran the session which I greatly appreciated. He had to juggle both ends of the spectrum regarding player experience with the rules system. I was an utter noob. My fellow gamer knew her rules quite well. I had a great time. The encounters felt challenging yet balanced. The rules were explained well. The scene was described well. NPCs were well fleshed out. I'll be looking into the various campaign offerings from this DM.
