You Have A Second Chance To Get The Cowboy Bebop RPG

Last fall Mana Project Studio and Don’t Panic Games introduced a crowdfunding campaign for their in-the-works roleplaying game based on the Cowboy Bebop anime. That campaign ended in November, but thanks to Backerkit, those who missed it now have a second chance. Most of the prizes offered in various tiers of the campaign are also available here, such as the GM screen, themed dice sets and playmats.

Gameplay is as you might expect. Players assume the roles of space bounty hunters and travel between planets seeking their targets, all the while learning the backstories of those involved. If your bounty target has a tragic story (and don’t they all), collecting your reward may turn into a moral conflict. The sessions are weaved by the GM, who in this case is referred to as “Big Shot.”

Everything you need to play is included in the 240-page rulebook, which contains:

An original game system based on d6 dice to overcome the difficulties the characters will face.
Rules to create your own custom Bounty Hunter. His past, present, and future.
The tools for the narrator (Big Shot) to set the events in the world of Cowboy Bebop, creating customized Bounties.
Everything you need to interact with the famous characters straight out of the series.
The characteristics of spaceships and their mechanics of use.
An in-depth look at the Cowboy Bebop universe, its planets, and space travel.

You can preorder the Cowboy Bebop Roleplaying Game by heading to this link. It is unknown how long the Backerkit version will remain up.

One of the things that drew me to the Cowboy Bebop series in the first place was the idea of traveling between planets and experiencing different environments and cultures.The fact that the Backerkit version includes the majority of the original campaign's prizes is an added bonus.I'm curious if there will be any Easter eggs or references to anime hidden in the game.

So cool!
The idea of a GM being referred to as "Big Shot" fits perfectly with the Cowboy Bebop theme.

Howdy y'all, I reckon it's time to saddle up and hit the cosmos in this Cowboy Bebop RPG! This game has got everything a space cowboy needs: action, adventure, and moral dilemmas that make you question your choices. And now, thanks to Backerkit, even those who missed out on the crowdfunding campaign can get in on the fun. So let's rustle up some bounties and see what the universe has in store! Sorry for trying to be in character, I know none of the characters have Southern accent...
