Being a huge fan of Cowboy Bebop, I was super excited to dive into the TTRPG based on the show. The Kickstarter campaign hype got me hooked, and I thought it would be a blast to become a bounty hunter in the same universe. But man, the rules were like trying to read a map in the dark. Traits and approaches? Clocks for everything? I felt like I was trying to crack a code. And seriously, those approach names were more confusing than my math homework. I wanted this game to be my ticket to space adventures, but it felt like a bumpy ride with the navigation all messed up. Bummer, cause I really wanted to love it.

So, Cowboy Bebop TTRPG, huh? I thought it would be a great fit, being a dedicated fan and all. The Kickstarter buzz got me curious, imagining myself chasing bounties and exploring the cosmos. However, digging into the rules left me scratching my head. Traits, approaches, and clocks? It was like deciphering an alien language. And those approach names? They were more cryptic than a secret code. I really hoped this game would transport me to the Bebop world, but it's more like stumbling through a starry labyrinth.

I entered this TTRPG with high expectations, wanting to experience the Bebop universe as a true member of the crew. But oh, was I in for a shock. The rule book is like an unfinished puzzle. Instead of grades, how about traits? Clocks everywhere? It's as though someone wanted to be elegant yet overlooked the necessities. And what about those approach names? They sound more like a jazz soundtrack than a hunting handbook. I imagined a great intergalactic journey, but it's more like navigating a cosmic maze.

So, I obtained the Cowboy Bebop TTRPG rule book, and it's a mixed bag. The show's artwork is all over the place, making it look slick, but it's like having a cool spaceship with no fuel. It's like learning a completely new game language because they employ qualities and approaches instead of typical gaming stuff. Those approach titles – rock, dance, tango – are as perplexing as a space mystery. And don't even get me started on the clocks, which are ticking in every direction!

Cowboy Bebop TTRPG, you got me all excited, but then you left me lost in space. Traits, approaches – it's like reading a star map without a compass. And those clocks? They're like alarms that never stop ringing. The book's got show images, but it's as confusing as a black hole. I wanted space adventures, not a rulebook puzzle.

I'm a big fan of the Cowboy Bebop TV show, and I was really excited for the TTRPG. I was hoping for a game that would let me create my own bounty hunter and explore the universe of the show. But the game just didn't deliver. The rules are too complicated and the setting is too restrictive.

I played it with my friends as we mourn the cancelation of the live action series. Most fan hated it but I did appreciated it.
