Don’t Panic Games and Mana Project Studio are teaming to create a roleplaying game based on the famed anime Cowboy Bebop. The project promises D6 focused mechanics to bring the science fiction world to life. The Kickstarter project is already over 1700% funded and you can reserve a copy of the hardcover corebook for a $49.00 pledge, or simply snag the PDF for a $19.00 pledge, through November 16th. Expected delivery is November of next year.
About the project
For the 25th anniversary of this legendary series, join the always-cool Spike Spiegel, the investigative genius Jet Black, the alluring Faye Valentine, the amazing (but weird) Ed, and the super-smart Welsh Corgi named Ein as they try to make a buck in the year 2071. How do they do it? They’re bounty hunters!
While focused on their constant struggle to capture bounties and pay the bills – perhaps the crew of the Bebop should be more concerned by what may catch up with them. Ghosts from the past, psychedelic mushrooms and justice-obsessed cowboys – Spike, Jet, Faye, Ed and even Ein have their work cut out trying to make ends meet!
Cowboy Bebop is a Japanese animated television series, movie, and other media. Set in 2071 and centered on the adventures of a gang of bounty hunters in space, the story delves into the unresolved issues of the protagonists’ past, exploring concepts such as existentialism, boredom, loneliness, and the influence of the past.
Our goal for this project is to produce a Hardcover book of ~240 full-color pages (8.5 x 11 inches – 216 x 279 mm), including:
- 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.
…and much more if we hit the dedicated stretch goals!
