Bounty Head Bebop RPG Going Live

[BerkaZerka]

Hi all –

As some of the Groovy Gamers already know (and played), I put together and posted here a roleplaying game based on the Cowboy Bebop Anime. 

In its evolution towards getting published, it has had to gain its own identity and ability to stand on its own as an RPG, with or without the anime that inspired it.

What we have now is the Bounty Head Bebop RPG, available soon, courtesy of Heroic Journey Publishing 

Announcing Heroic Journey Publishing, a small press RPG publishing company created to bring you high quality games.  Focused specifically on Digital publishing, Heroic Journey Publishing plans to provide Print On Demand for its titles.  Look forward for News and Updates coming out soon.
 
HJP is proud to announce the first game scheduled to be released; Bounty Head Bebop.  “Based in a time rife with criminals and unscrupulous people, the Police have resorted to using more Bounty Hunters and outside contracted help.  This is where you come in.” Placed in a near future gritty universe, this game calls for fast paced action and sizzling drama. Based on high octane anime, Bounty Head Bebop is a wild ride through the new Solar Frontier.

Of course, publishing always takes more time than we’d like, but it is in process

Welcome to the Bounty Head Bebop RPG, the game that lets you play the fast paced solar system-spanning anime-style adventures of the daring and brash bounty hunters of the ‘far modern’ future.

The Bounty Head Bebop RPG is powered by the Inverted 20 system, which uses a single d20 for all rolls and offers a quick and easy resolution for all in-game actions and outcomes, providing a fun and cinematic feel to play.

What is The Inverted 20 System?

The Inverted 20 system uses a single twenty-sided die with Target Numbers (TN) to roll under and is essentially a percentile-based game in increments of 5%. 

Target Numbers are determined by adding a skill value to any situation modifiers that might apply and then rolling the die to see if the result falls within the TN.  In some instances a Minimum Target Number (MTN) may be required, where the result of the die not only has to fall within the TN, but also has to meet or exceed the value set by the MTN.

As an additional element to each die roll, an X-Roll or X-Damage maybe called for, which is determined by reading the one’s digit of the die when it is rolled.  This allows a secondary number (1-10) to be generated simultaneously with TN resolution; meaning damage and other factors of success can be figured without a second roll.  This handy little mechanic speeds play and helps move combat along at a refreshingly brisk pace.

The Inverted 20 system also uses a Luck and Surge Point dynamic that gives the characters an advantage when needed, and ensures the action never gets stale.  Using Luck and Surge Points, a character can push himself past the normal effects of injury, succeed at a critically important roll, or even escape certain death.

In short, Inverted 20 is its own unique system, but with a familiar feel and a cinematic flair, which captures the grittier Anime genre after which it was modeled.

Freelance artist Jake Richmond has been contracted to work on the inside artwork for Bounty Head Bebop.

 I am excited to be workign with Mr. Richmond as his art will compliment the style and feel I hope Bounty Head has. I am a big fan of his personal work with Panty Explosion and Classroom Deathmatch which you can find at http://www.atarashigames.com/Resources.html

Zack Ashmore is contracted to do the Cover art.
