Kobra S1 Broken Filament stuck

I have a bit of filament stuck in the PTFE tube going from the back of the printer to the printhead itself, and I'm out of ideas on how to dislodge it.

Somehow I can't remove the ptfe tube going into the bit at the end (which then connects to the ACE) -- not sure if that is because the filament is in there or because of some other reason.

I also can't put it through with another bit of filament (I'm assuming that the distributor piece has some kind of lock in it)

Any ideas?

Looking for specific Dread Scenario

Hey guys! I once saw a one shot from dread (I think it was from some convention, and I think matt mercer was playing) where they investigated a cult in a deep mine. I've tried to run it from memory but was wondering if anyone knows whether this scenario is around somehwere.

Kobra S1 retraction abnormal

I got a Kobra s1 a few weeks ago and it printed really well for a good time of that. However recently I've started to get retraction abnormal errors on like every second print and had to open up the print head to get out stuck filament every time, scrapping the print. Right now I have to disassemble the whole extruder each time to get the filament out there, that can#t really be it :/
I feel like it happens more often on hoter prints, like with PETG but I'm not sure.

This is starting to get very annoying and I don't really know how to fix it. Any ideas?

VITA - Ein Brettspiel für Rollenspieler?

Hallo! Vorneweg - VITA ist kein Pen'n'Paper, allerdings lieben es Rollenspieler (und Larper, vielleicht gibt es da einen Überschnitt XD)
In dem Spiel baut man sich eine Biografie über ein Leben in einer historischen Era auf. Man versucht ein möglichst glückiches Leben zu führen und erzählt dabei gleichzeitig die Teschichte des Charakters. Anfangs haben wir die Settings RISE OF THE VIKINGS (Anfang der Wikingerzeit!) und DAWN OF HOLLYWOOD (Die Anfänge von Hollywood). Das Spiel wird auf englisch und deutsch rauskommen.

Wir sind ein kleines Team aus Berlin und hoffen das ganze auf Kickstarter bringen zu können -- die Kampagnenseite findet ihr HIER, über einen Follow würden wir uns freuen.

Was meint ihr? Ist ein Spiel der art spannend für Pen'n'Paper spieler (ich meine ja, aber meine Meinung ist ja etwas eingefärbt)

Art Deco in a Board Game?

https://preview.redd.it/e5pzrvkin6gh1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aee91d49023ad251b5e24604c3e93f64c839b285

In our boardgame VITA - Dawn of Hollywood, you live a live at the onset of Hollywood. So we decided to go with a sleek Art Deco Style for all layouting of the cards (even though the game spans a timeframe of 1902 up to the sixties).
I'm curious -- do you as art deco lovers enjoy this? Or do you feel like this isn't hitting the style?

What would you expect to be in a historical viking life board game?

Hi there! I'm currently working on VITA - Rise of the Vikings, a boardgame where you try to live the happiest life in a real historical era - in this case, its between 836 and 900. If you want to know more about the game, you can check out our upcoming kickstarter here.

We are also working with historians and archeologists but I am curious -- what would you expect to be in a game about viking life in that time? What kind of events would you expect to see? What are small historical tidbits that are unnoticed by most?

https://preview.redd.it/dsex73ebkrfh1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=73cb77273f93f7465862440143d9d2a53716baaf

The game deals mainly with the western expansion of vikings, but a big focus is that its about real lifes and not just glorious big hero fantasies. So some characters will sail over to England to raid and conquer, but others will stay home to settle, trade and raise families.

Vantage -- Is it worth it or does it get stale?

I'm considering for some time now to get Vantage -- I do love the ideas of the open world kind of gameplay, but I'm wondering if it doesn't get stale very quickly. Also -- I have verly shifting baord game groups, does it make sense to play it then or is it a one group kind of game?
Anyone has experiences?

Trudvang Legends - How to improve it?

Hey there! I've gotten all boxes of Trudvang Legends and we have started the main campaign some time ago. I absolutely love the individual systems they came up with for the campaign but the core gameplay absolutely falls flat imho. I've already tried a variety of house ruling for progression (like paying to keep some runes) and core gameplay (like quick combat rules and re-draw possibilities). But I feel it would need a larger revamp.

In addition, at least for the main campaign, the content design itself tends to be on the boring side -- its very linear and they barely use all the tools they have.

Does someone have a better revamped version? Or is any of the add-ons worth to play?

Fortune & Glory - Any good house rules

Hey there!

I love how thematic Fortune&Glory is - however each time I play it tends to fall a bit flat. Mostly due to pacing issues, too much power imbalance through random cards and difficulty spikes.

I still have the original and not the revised edition so I'm not sure how much is fixed there.

Does anyone have some good house rules to improve the game?

We are having issues with the image preview of our Kickstarter pre-campaign page -- it shows some weird image that we have never seen or used on the page (so it can't really be a caching issue). It also shows the same image for other users with the same google query.
Did anyone see something similar or have ideas on what the issue there could be?
