 get. Any test they attempt, they succeed in. The trick comes with degrees of success. The auto success is only a 1, but players can spend pips to raise their degree of success up to the appropriate descriptor's rating. Players can gain pips in a couple of different ways, but mostly by volunteering to fail a test. The greater the failure, the more pips gained. The rules have a couple of more steps to keep the pip economy flowing well, you should check it out if you're interested in a very narrative-heavy game where the players more than likely have a good chance of ass-kicking.
The other exciting part of the day, other than discovering Pace, was running a game that had no prep at all. Pace doesn't necessarily recommend this, but I was reading the rules for it late Thursday morning and didn't have much time. I didn't even settle on a genre until in the car and the guys chose modern day horror. I was thinking a Middle-Earth murder mystery would be a lot of fun (as I think Pace should work very well for Middle-Earth role playing), and I may still run that game someday, but I had a ton of fun making up not just characters on the fly but a basic plot as well. I daresay I was able to come up with a coherent and satisfying mystery as well, although that may be a story for a different day. It was a great experience, and I may have to investigate more free systems in the future (or simply run every game now in Pace - it's possible!).
you should definitely post a recap of the actual plot that developed. Improv gaming is the best!
Wow! So pleased to hear that my weird little experiment from a while ago worked out so well for you. Man, I need to go back and read that thing again. I've forgotten most of what I came up with.
It was quite excellent and definitely something that worked in the car on the way. I loved it as I basically used one note card to keep both player stats on one side and my NPC stats on the other. You can't really ask for anything more when trying to keep a car game organized!
I do intend to do a recap at some point of the story, hopefully sometime this weekend. I have to say that my players came up with some excellent characters themselves, which always helps of course!MRI Cordova brings together industry experts from all major business sectors.

This decision was not taken lightly but, after consultation with scholars and medical professionals, it was seen as absolutely necessary. The community had to face the reality that there would be no Jumuʿah prayer for some time. Now, nearly six weeks after the decision, Jumuʿah prayer continues to be suspended at the masjid, in addition to daily prayers, weekend schools, and Friday night programs. Additionally, there is no hanging out, drinking tea together, or youth activities. Essentially, the masjids are closed as we enter into Ramadan. Given that almost half of the Muslims in the US attend the masjid at least once a week (43%),1 these closures have left many feeling sad and some in a state of despair. Many are wondering how communities will survive this difficult time, and it seems people have more questions than answers.
If one feels distraught over the closure of the masjid, stop and thank Allah. On the surface, this may seem strange. Why would a Muslim thank Allah when the masjid is closed? The answer lies in analyzing the thinking behind the sadness. Missing the masjid is a great sign of īmān. It would be far more problematic if a believer was indifferent to the suspension of activities in the masjid. Not everyone experiences the feeling of missing the masjid. The fact that you miss it shows concern and that is a gift from Allah. In the famous hadith that mentions seven categories of people who will be in the shade of Allah on the Day of Judgment, one of the categories is people whose hearts are attached to the masjid.2 The wording used in the hadith literally means “whose heart is hanging in the masjid.” Commenting on this hadith, Imam Nawawī mentions that a person in this category is not one who remains constantly in the masjid, but rather one who has a strong love for the masjid.3 Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar also mentions the meaning of this category is to have a love for the masjid even though one may not be physically present in it.4 Given the current situation, it is a blessing that so many Muslims fall into this category. They are unable to attend the masjid at this time, but they have a longing to return to it. Their hearts are metaphorically “hanging” in the masjid even when they are physically detached from it. Let the believer rejoice in this sign of iman and look forward to the shade of Allah on the day there will be no other shade.
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim is reported to have said, “Allah does not close a door on a servant with His Wisdom except that He opens two doors for him with His Mercy.”5 It is adaptive to think about the benefits one can attain when the masjid doors are closed. One of the ways to explore other avenues is to utilize a concept called reframing. Reframing is a counseling technique that facilitates a different way of viewing a situation by changing its meaning.6 Instead of focusing on what one cannot change, one focuses on what one can change. We identify benefits given the circumstances, instead of focusing on the negative. We view the situation through a positive lens by exploring what is stressing us. The following is a chart utilizing the concept of reframing regarding masjid closures.
Now create a similar chart by yourself or with family members. Reframe some of the negative thoughts you may have been harboring. Reframing allows us to channel our energies to engage in productive tasks. Allah says, “And whoever has taqwá (consciousness) of Allah, He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah, then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a decreed extent.”7 These verses remind us to stay positive, as ultimately Allah will remove us from our difficult situation. However, this is conditional on having taqwá. Thus, it is the one who is truly aware of Allah who will find the way out and provisions that Allah has created.
The Muslim community has certainly demonstrated the potential for spiritual growth during these difficult times. In a recent survey of American Muslims who were generally religious and did not believe the masjid should be open during the current pandemic, over 58% of people said their relationship with Allah had improved since social isolation policies went into effect.8 Thus, it appears that many in the Muslim community have channeled their energy into productive outlets.
Although many Muslims have been able to reframe their attitudes towards the closure of the masjid for Jumuʿah and daily prayers, nothing looms over the hearts of the believers more than thinking about the masjid being closed in Ramadan. When asking Muslims what they would miss the most due to social isolation a month before Ramadan, the masjid being closed for tarāwīḥ and ifṭār was what the majority of people had at the top of their lists.9 Attendance in the masjid greatly increases during Ramadan. Many masjids host ifṭārs daily or weekly, attracting hundreds of worshippers to break fast together. In Ramadan, the masjid is on full display as a house
