Cowboy Bebop RPG: Corebook “Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I’ve been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture.” Space Cowboys and Cowgirls, welcome aboard and fasten your seatbelts on the Bebop. With the official role-playing game of Cowboy Bebop, one of the most popular anime of all time, you will experience memorable adventures as a crew of bounty hunters, roaming through the solar system. You will play out your stories as bounty hunters in a universe that mixes jazz with westerns, film noir with buddy cops ones. With an original and narrative game system, scene after scene, you will see your characters change, face their troubled past, invent a future for themselves – or, on the contrary, get stuck into their memories. In Cowboy Bebop you can make many Woolong and make them quickly; but be careful and never let your guard down: life is tough around here and it is always ready to teach you a hard lesson! Inside the corebook you will find: The rules of this narrative role-playing game that will let you customize every aspect of your bounty hunter. Thanks to our original 6-dice system, you’ll use every element of your character to describe them in cinematic terms. This is Cowboy Bebop, a game in which music matters! Each approach to an action corresponds to a music genre, as well as each session is linked to music, influencing your actions and the tone of the game. Jazz, rock, tango, blues or dance: what will you choose? In the Official Cowboy Bebop Roleplaying game, the narrative it’s emergent and it will flow as an episode of this much-loved TV series. Session after session, your characters’ dark pasts will come closer and closer, triggering unexpected twists and shocking revelations that it will be up to you to describe. What would a bounty hunter be without a wanted criminal to hunt? Using bounty archetypes, the Big Shot (or the GM in Cowboy Bebop TTRPG) will be able to create terrifying, sinister and very strange opponents for your sessions, each with a unique ability that can alter the flow of the narrative and its basic mechanics. The solar system is vast, and Cowboy Bebop’s is really weird! Thanks to a chapter dedicated to the game’s themes and tones, and the many randomisation tools, you’ll always know where to place your Sessions. Ganymede? A distant asteroid? Who will the bounty hunters meet along the way? As a Big Shot, all you have to do is to roll the dice and adapt the result obtained to the context! Maybe you’ve never played a role-playing game before, or maybe you want to learn more about a particular rule… therefore, the last chapter of this book will help you for sure: it consists of a summary explaining every single episode of the anime series as if they were game sessions, providing specific examples. Not enough for you? Inside the book you will also find the character sheets of our Bebop favorites. Play as Spike, Faye and even Ein, or, if you prefer, create your unique character in the Cowboy Bebop universe.
