Maybe I'm a sucker for manned space travel, but I don't see the Cowboy Bebop universe as all that dark. Yes, it's a shame about Earth, but mankind has proven to be highly adaptable, and managed to settle and terraform some originally highly inhospitable worlds in an amazingly short time (I think that the anime is supposed to take place in the year 2073 or so) - which is quite a testament to human endurance and ingenuity.Remember that the main characters move in some rather unsavory circles merely thanks to their profession. Yes, there are violent criminals and criminal syndicates, as well as crooked cops and corrupt politicians out there - but most people seem to just get on with their lives, same as today.If you need some background information on the worlds of the solar system, you might take a look at Transhuman Space (by Steve Jackson Games) and Jovian Chronicles (by Dream Pod Nine) - the latter even has d20 stats...</blockquote>
