There are times you reaaally can pick up that the Recruiter is going through the social motions without actually paying attention... Recruiter: "How was your weekend?" Me: "Oh well, juggling a few things, dad's latest batch of chemo and dealing with that, all that sort of joys." Recruiter: (enthusiastically and up-beat) "Lovely, glad it sounds good."

Hm, just saw they they've made a second season of Blood & Treasure and it should be showing before the end of the year. Interesting. The first season was a fairly self-contained pulp adventure story of treasure hunters, terrorists, conspiracies, nazis, and curses as a former FBI agent turned archeological recoverer teamed up with his ex, an art thief to chase down the main bad guy. I'm curious to see how they'll try to carry it on.

"Nazis. They sure loved their castles." "They were all about nostalgia for a storybook world that never actually existed." "Ah. So they were angry RenFair nerds?" "Genocidally angry RenFair nerds."

Avon was a classic character and an inspiration for several PC's I've played over the years...
