In Cyberpunk-Adjacent News: To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the highly-influential Japanese anime series, Cowboy Bebop, Mana Project Studio has launched a Kickstarter to bring the series to tabletop roleplaying.
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 focussed 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.
