  • I don’t know much about DC100, but, to me, open world means there are multiple choices and multiple things going on. Hooking them from B2 to DC100, that feels like a single funnel? From point A, go to Point B, although that path might have 3 diff variants, they all end up in the same place?

    I try to give players in a new campaign 3 different things to do. 3 hooks/paths. 3 factions. 3 locations to explore (whether a dungeon, outdoor setpiece, another town) and a homebase.

    You can make each of those 3 things another module. So DC100 for 1 hex/location after B2, and two other modules for two other locations.

    Then put them in their home base (a village or perhaps even the Keep from B2) and dangle those hooks to each of the locations - rumors, someone actively recruiting, a physical object pointing in a direction, etc…

    That’s just how I would do it and have done it.





  • I tried a Creality Ender 3 a couple of years ago. Struggled a lot, for me, it required a lot of aftermarket replacements to make it work well. I sold it about 6 mo later.

    In Mar, I bought an Anycubic Kobra. Out of the box, worked like a champ and has continued to. None of the struggles I had with the Ender. Only add on was a sensor to let me know when I’m out of filament.

    You’ll probably hear from folks who bought an Ender and had great success, and folks who struggled w/a Kobra, though. It’s like an automobile… you’re going to hear good and bad stories for each model.

    Honestly, I read a lot of articles and just found what fit my use case, expectations and budget. Your first one will definitely be a learning experience.

    Good luck!
