Online indie Nar RPG!

Our first session of Contenders was awesome! Thanks to Filip and Kamil for asking me to play . Our next session of Pain is scheduled on Friday the 17th of August, from 8PM to 2AM. We’ll be using Skype again, and real card decks.

Heinrich Vogel, a young Stasi officer, hires Igor to beat the shit out of a dissident. The woman begs Igor not to hurt her, and he lets her go, and runs off, when Vogel is out for a cigarette break.

Dieter works as a bouncer in a sleazy bar. Some patrons get drunk and start some trouble, inadvertently bothering Vogel, who’s having a quiet drink. Dieter takes care of the rowdy clients, and earns Vogel’s thanks.

Hans works in a pig-farm near his home village. He messes up, and his co-workers make fun of him. He gets angry, throws some punches, and is fired. Hans decides to leave for nearby Berlin, in search of a job.

———————————

Igor goes to Otto for a fight. Otto schedules a short match against Holger, as entertainment for a Party member’s russian guests. Otto also promises to provide prostitutes. The Party member doesn’t even aknowledge the boxers’ presence.

Hans travels to East-Berlin on a farmer’s tractor. He then meets up with his uncle Fritz, who tells him he could be a boxer. Fritz puts him in touch with Otto, and they set up a bout.

Dieter takes Elsa to the zoo. This keeps from doing God knows what out on the streets.

———————————

Igor fights Holger in front of the Soviet guests. Igor gets knocked out in the first round, with his girlfriend watching.

After this warm-up fight, Hans fights Karl. Holger cheers Hans on (he doesn’t like Karl), and the young Contender goes on to win by the narrowest of margins. One of the russians approaches Hans after the fight, telling him he’d be interested in setting up a match with a russian boxer.

Dieter learns Elsa is pregnant, talking to one of her friends. He decides to pick up his old gloves again to get her the money for an abortion. He kisses the worried Nina, promising her he’ll be OK, and goes to see Otto.

———————————

After the fight, Igor finds his girlfriend talking to some Party members outside the building. They talk, and he accepts to fight some more in the future, if they try and help her escape the counrty.

Hans hauls his uncle Fritz’s big bags of coal to improve his Conditioning.

Dieter fights Wolf in a very dirty bout. Dieter Brings the Pain, but the match still ends in a tie. A flashback shows us someone bribing Gerald, the judge.

———————————

Igor gets paid by Otto to look after Elsa, who’s whoaring for him. Igor takes her to Gerald’s house, where she gets abused, while he waits downstairs.  Otto then pays them both, after taking his share. Elsa gets abused some more by Otto, in exchange for some drug money.

Hans schedules a long match with Otto. At one point, Elsa walks in, asking after Gerald. Hans starts to fall in love with her.

Dieter spends some time working on his technique.

———————————

Vogel threatens Hans: if he doesn’t go all the way in his next fight against the russian, they’ll have Igor break her limbs.

Dieter asks Otto for a rematch against Wolf.

Hans fights Vlad, the Russian, in a grueling bout. He’s very defensive, trying to go all the way. The Russian knows something’s up, so doesn’t hesitate to resort to street tactics. Hans finally wins on points, pocketing a huge bet on the way. He’s swimming in money now!

Playing Contenders today, with Filip and Kamil! From 4PM to… we’ll see . We’re using Skype, and either some program for the cards, or just that plain old real-life card deck sitting next to the computer
