I have done quite a few one-shots with Lee and they have all been great. They typically combine a good mix of combat and other things (e.g. roleplay/exploration/mystery). Combats can be quite challenging but fair and often include interesting monsters or mechanics I've not seen before. Highly recommended for a full contained one-shot.

I've played in a couple of Josh's Colosseum one-shots including one of the special Blood Moon ones and it was great both times. He keeps a challenging fight moving while keeping things pretty light, being patient with rules questions, and still weaving in a little bit of growing lore for his setting. His victory ladder system is also a fun incentive to come back for future events.

I've joined multiple of Leo's high level one shots which are standalone but she includes a mechanic for rewarding returning with the same character to multiple sessions. She does a great job keeping things fun and moving and does a great job balancing light-heartedness with real high-level challenge. Definitely recommend.

Had a fun high level holiday-themed one-shot with Paige that was a nice challenge while being just a little bit silly. Definitely recommend.

I had a great time with Kat's Brooklyn 99 themed one-shot which has fun ongoing lore and persistent characters and magic items - will definitely be trying to join again a future session. She set a great balance of comedy and action letting people play off each other but keeping the narrative moving.
