“A Sea of Dreams”

The fourth episode of Bonus Action was an unexpected one, but it was truly one of the best.

The episode saw the group passing through the Sea of Dreams and they all had individual dreams, all of which had to deal with their back stories.

This was an amazing way to give us more information on these characters and their lives without simply telling us.

DM David was the star of this episode as he provided some of the best D & D descriptions I have heard. He weaved every dream from meetings he had with the players off screen and he provided some different variations of the dream concept. There were some dreams that were really scary, some of the dreams dropped hints or possible story beats, making the PCs unsure about what they were doing.

My thought as I watched this was… when I played D & D years ago, I would have loved this but my groups were never into character development or deep backgrounds. I always tried to add what I could, but the D & D format was never my strength.

Loved how these six players seem to believe that the character parts are every bit as important as the fighting.
