Oni-chiwa

Overall I am pretty new to TTRPGs honestly, having only played a few different games of D&D. The longest one that I've had is with Stern though and I've thoroughly enjoyed it from the start. He strikes what seems to me like a healthy balance between both being open to interesting ideas and knowing how to keep things fair, and he is open to discussing how things might be improved. Our campaign has been on the less serious side overall I think, but has still been good at taking a more serious tone when it felt appropriate. More so than anything the campaign has never felt uncomfortable despite being new to the player group I was with when it began. It has been relatively low pressure and relaxed, and I appreciate that.
