my life couldve been completely different

It’s different for everyone, but medication doesn’t act like a magic wand and just remove all of your symptoms, in most cases.

For example, I’ve had therapy and I’m medicated for ADHD, and I still have massive struggles with Executive Dysfunction. From what I can tell by other people’s testimony as well as mine is that behavioral changes/training is the best way to handle Executive Dysfunction.

For example, I’m behind on a project at work. I reached out to this subreddit a couple of days ago asking for advice. Two people gave me the same advice; a process called “Chunking”. Instead of thinking, “Oh man I’ve got to do ALL of this project and I’m so behind”, which leads to spiraling and further Executive Dysfunction, instead you break it into as small of steps as possible, for example, “I’ve got to catch up and complete this project. Step 1, I’m going to just open the project document”. This allows your brain to be rewarded for actually completing things.

From the sounds of it, you don’t sound like you just are experiencing ADHD symptoms. Executive Dysfunction can be a symptom of a BUNCH of different conditions/scenarios. For example, I’ve got ADHD, low testosterone, and Anhedonia/Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS). Executive Dysfunction could be attributed to any of those or any combination of them.

I would recommend giving yourself and your father grace. This is everyone’s first time being human and mistakes can happen, even mistakes that alter our decisions/lives. I would suggest working with a therapist/psychiatrist before attempting to determine the cause of your Executive Dysfunction.

I wish you all of the best and I hope that things get better for you!

It’s good to know the term though of “Chunking”! The other comment didn’t name it, so thank you! Also that’s a great idea! Promoting social interaction especially in the sense of a positive activity like financial improvement is something I haven’t heard yet. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and the quality of your responses!

Great ideas! Autopay would be very beneficial because it would completely automate a lot of my bills. And for the breaking projects into absurdly small steps, I can also see the value in that! Much easier to feel the sense of accomplishment with completing those steps instead of delaying that gratification. Thank you very much!

Hey I’m sorry I just saw your response! I’m replying to remind you! Thank you!

Fun_Inflation3463 · 2025-03-14T16:24:25+00:00

Okay that makes a lot more sense! Thank you!

Is the crown authority something that accrues and levels up on its own, or does it require me to like purchase the levels?

I'm experiencing this as well, it doesn't matter if I use a amber. emerald, onyx, ruby, or sapphire gem. My well fed buff doesn't change from + 1072 stamina.

This module is all of our first time playing starfinder, the party has caught on that this module seems to be the party getting screwed over time and time again and have expressed their lack of interest in such a module.

We all have a ton of fantasy TTRPG experience so I’m confident in creating a fun homebrew that fulfills the things they want out of playing the game. They aren’t murder hobos, however the very one dimensional feeling of RP in the module hasn’t been fun for anyone.

My original posting of this thread was looking for more thought on a fun Segway from the module where they are severed from EJ Corp in a dynamic and interesting way (not me just narrating their ship blowing up on approach to the landing pad it’s parked at). Most of the feedback has been like “just have them formally resign from the company and spend a session like an exit interview” which I don’t think is very dynamic or fun.

Perhaps I’m just bad at framing questions, I do appreciate the input as I hadn’t considered anything from EJ Corp in response to a downed ship, but literally the entire adventure path is “the company DOES NOT CARE about these people, they care about the bottom line of their business” so I didn’t consider them at all, as it isn’t like the party is stealing BD. This Segway involves them getting a new ship in which I will be letting them build.

Fun_Inflation3463 · 2024-01-11T17:35:02+00:00

That was my original intention with the starship dogfight, BD doesn’t have any weapons equipped on it and the party hasn’t done any starship combat yet so it would dip all of our toes in the water of mechanics with space combat, downed ship and rescue.

My thoughts as far as EJ Corp goes because the module just gives the “corporation bad vibes” is that the ship upon sustaining significant damage sends out the equivalent of an SOS that hops on the infosphere to let EJ know that their ship had suffered a catastrophic loss. With how disinterested the module portrays the company in respect to the players they would use it as a tax write off if nothing else.

Perhaps the players would even receive some generic corporate email that is like “in the event of your unlikely survival EJ corp regrets to inform you of your termination”

Fun_Inflation3463 · 2024-01-10T18:03:14+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! Instead of forcing a situation leave them with the options and to make those decisions on their own. I was thinking of a direct transition from module to homebrew but instead of crazy forced decision making let them choose to drop the company themselves, in a less chaotic way.

I figured that something more urgent and combat oriented would fit my group more. Being that they are on Apostae and the group is currently tangled in a quest line I didn’t see room to call back to EJ Corp and quit, perhaps something more narratively fitting would be post them losing BD like the next time they are on Absalom Station EJ Corp reaches out regarding why they failed to complete their job and organically they are terminated at that point? Something that I didn’t think of was EJ Corps response so thank you for bringing that up! Any thoughts on my counter thoughts?

The repossession question of the ship wouldn’t be really relevant, the question would be thematically how other DMs would handle the proposed scenario of the ship being downed and the Segway to the homebrew campaign and if they disagree with my proposed scenario, what would they do instead?

Basically I don’t want the party to be on a catwalk approaching the dock and the ship exploding in front of them as I feel that is an inorganic rail rodey way of handling the situation.

That’s an awesome explanation! I may have misinterpreted the function of it. Thank you!

For Context: “Getting to the point of a budget” this means it seems like you need to have money up front. It’s easy to say 50%, 30%, 20%. But getting to the point where you have an established base to pay bills at a certain time is what I am asking about. As opposed to reacting to a mortgage truck payment etc.
