About this item

Carry that weight into the stars and carve out your own legend in a solar system that never sleeps and always demands its due. The Cowboy Bebop Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook is a stunning 240-page hardcover that fully realizes the "Jazz" tabletop experience inspired by the iconic anime. Released in 2023 by Don’t Panic Games and Mana Project Studio, this volume expands the narrative-heavy system introduced in the Quickstart, providing players with the complete toolkit to live out their own tragic, high-stakes adventures. The core book emphasizes the balance between the adrenaline of the hunt and the quiet, melancholic moments between bounties. It introduces robust systems for character creation where your "Past" is just as mechanically significant as your current gear, and your "Groove" determines how you handle the shifting rhythms of a fight or a chase. Beyond the hunters themselves, the guide offers deep dive into the 2071 setting, from the terraformed landscapes of Venus to the gritty urban sprawl of Mars. With expanded rules for spaceship combat, social maneuvering, and long-term campaign arcs, it is the definitive guide for any group looking to see if they have what it takes to survive the blues of deep space.
