    My constant proposal for a revival involves these two running an offworld antiquities shop. Some highly dysfunctional Indiana Jones shit from a bookworm with several levels in badass and a roguish chaos magnet for whom things just kinda work out. He’s free to do primary research whenever he’s not fending off children who think his glorified bookshop must be hiding fabulous riches. She’s free to kick around the galaxy in search of lost artifacts, plausible myths, and cheap drinks. The standard episode is her rocking up with a heist plan. Or at least flopping back home with an offhand travel story where he sees an opportunity. It’s character growth and worldbuilding through a series of macguffins.
