Feeling a bit depressed by some recent events, so I wanted something pleasant to talk about. :\
Like the subject line says, what's the tone of your campaign or rather, what kind of tone do you enjoy most? Some examples might be whimsical/humorous, bleak, realistic, high action, etc. - but don't be limited by these terms and don't be confined to one term. If you're feeling up to it, give examples of what you mean. What movie or book most resembles your campaign?
One of the games I really enjoy is run by Kid Charlemagne and I would describe it as "magical realism" or maybe "realistic fairy tale." It's still D&D, but the NPCs and monsters behave in realistic ways and have understandable motives. Though there are dark elements to the game, it is still light in tone - we're not out saving the world, just the next village over maybe. The world has lots of fey and fey folklore and an element of humor to it. Lots of magic, but not an overabundance of it. Our characters are heroes, but they are also young and still students at a magical college - there's a lot we don't know as characters and for the first time in a little while, there are things as a player I don't know. Most resembles Harry Potter.
