Tavern Watch Plays See You Space Cowboy, episode 1: Wanted for possession of cryptocurrency

It’s time for a brand new game on Tavern Watch, called See You Space Cowboy; this one takes place in a solar system that looks a lot like famous anime Cowboy Bebop’s but with the serial numbers… well, not even filed off, just kinda smudged a little bit. If you’re willing to get your hands dirty, talk to people who always know something for a cost, and hunt down some of the most notorious criminals this side of Ganymede, bounty hunting is definitely one way to make that big payday (and/or just pay the bills) However, in the universe of See You Space Cowboy, there’s only one crime that rewards hunters for bringing in their prey dead rather than alive: possession of cryptocurrency and NFTs. So of course this ne’er-do-well is our target (and it doesn’t hurt that he’s a litterbug, either).

The band leader for these shenanigans is the enthusiastic and creative Joe Perez, and our motley crew of hunters is played by:

• Trish Olson as Kit Brooksfield, who’s all brains, a little cool, and maybe some kind of hacker (but for all the right reasons!)
• Chris Chesno as Colt Sterling, a hard-smoking, hard-bitten hot dog and gunplay enthusiast
• Joan Albright as Veronia Graves, a former housewife whose bad run-in with the law now has her on a mission
• Liz Harper as Jin, who is definitely not the crew’s kleptomaniac
• Phil Ulrich as Luke Navarro, a brick wall of a man who’s ostensibly the ship’s captain but mostly the team dad

This is the first in a three-part actual play series of See You Space Cowboy; watch for new episodes to come out every Monday! You can also pick up a copy of See You Space Cowboy yourself on Tidal Wave Games’ itch.io page; it’s only five American dollars to bring all this fun to your own table!

The intro and outro songs for this episode are both by Phat Phrog Studios; the intro is “Mech Imperium,” while the outro is “The Pain Unwritten.”
