I've made my campaign! I'm starting my players out on a primitive planet. There will be a short political plot for them to have fun moving through as they get used to their new system. And then they'll ultimately decide if they want to join the galactic federation and venture into space or not. There they'll find a much larger plot that asks them to save the universe.

Super excited! I really like this system! Very glad you guys talked me into using it for my table. Super easy to homebrew in and the combat feels great! Will let you guys know how the table settles in and how our first session goes.

I went to urgent care recently for a general physical and EKG scan. I had to pay out of pocket for it because I don't have insurance. I paid $115 dollars. This was not an emergency visit, I even told the doctor I didn't need to do the physical I just needed the EKG for my psychiatrist to start stimulants.

I've now been texted twice that I have a bill for that visit for $120. I thought it was a scam at first because I tried to log in with the account number it gave in the text and the account didnt exist. But now I'm wondering if this is actually CareNow sending me a bill.

I haven't called yet because I'm nervous about a confrontation and I want to know what's going on before I call and get blindsided by something. I just want to prepare myself to be able to advocate for myself if theyre trying to screw me over or something.

What do you think is happening? Is this a scam or does CareNow Urgent Care do this kind of thing?

I was diagnosed a month ago with BED. It was surprising at first. My psychiatrist and therapist have determined that my BED is weed induced. If I'm not high I don't binge. But the problem is if I'm not high I don't get hungry.

​

As a kid I had some issues with portion control and eating out of boredom. Dopamine seeking behaviour. But I was usually underweight. I did have a traumatic experience where TW! >!I was force fed by a classmate and her slave!< But I never really imagined it would cause long lasting issues for me.

In my 20's I was a college athlete and I was passing out because I wasn't eating. I couldn't remember to eat and I would hyperfixate to the point that I could go two days not feeling hungry. The weed fixed it. I was finally reliably hungry when I got home from school and practice. So I decided I'd eat all my calories at once in one big meal.

&#x200B;

Fast forward 10 years later. I'm so screwed. I'm 30 now and I can't stop this shit. It's turned into a huge dopamine hit for me. And now that I know I have ADHD (diagnosed a month ago) it all kind of makes sense.

&#x200B;

Hopefully the Vyvanse and mood stabilizers will help to fix this. I'm hoping I can start those medicines soon. The psychiatrist seems to think the Vyvanse will help a lot. I hope so.

I'm so sick of this binging bs.

Hi! I'm shopping around for a system that will fit my Iron Lung inspired homebrewed campaign. I immediately gravitated toward Stars Without Number Revised Edition after learning about the classes, Foci, training(feats), and how it generally functions with the dice rolls.

&#x200B;

I'm wondering however, if this setting would be appropriate for my current table. I tend to gravitate towards an older style DnD that is combat/encounter heavy and my table tends to gravitate towards very character complex RP style games. We usually find a middle ground using DnD 5e.

&#x200B;

I've generally struggled with having fun DM'ing DnD 5e especially it's combat system and lack of sci-fi integration. I also just feel like it's hard to introduce homebrewed elements without completely screwing it up. (horrific flashback to the gunslinger I allowed in Spelljammer) But my table really appreciates the ability to fully customize a character and the level up aspect of feats and things like that.

&#x200B;

It seems to me that SWN is similar to a 3.5 DnD. It seems very homebrew-able and like I could add in certain elements without completely breaking the game.

&#x200B;

TLDR: I'm really just wondering if I could get some insight from people who have played alot of SWN to see if you think it could be a good system to accommodate a DM who likes more old style DND, with a table that really likes the newer style because of it's character customization and complex level up system.

I was recently diagnosed with adhd at 28. I spent my whole childhood suffering. Constantly overstimulated, emotionally dysregulated, out of it, struggling. My parents didnt really believe in mental health disorders. They thought that if I could suffer through my issues and make good grades that I really didnt have anything diagnosable. I developed a panic disorder at the age of 9 years old trying so hard to be good and suppress myself. I somehow made it to college and dropped out when I hit the craziest burnout I'd ever experienced. It felt like it was almost 4 years of pure exhaustion.

Now I've been diagnosed and it's overwhelming. BED MDD GAD ADHD CPTSD. I'm desperately trying to remember to schedule my bloodwork and ekg to make sure I can start Vyvanse.

Hearing the ADHD diagnosis was weird. I don't know if I fully accept or understand it all yet. I thought it would feel validating, but I just feel.... grief and rage.

Has anyone else forgiven their parents? Or does anyone know how?
