Default Is it just me?

Or does Tollenkar look suspiciously like Sean Connery?

Once I noticed that, I can't *not* see it anymore.

I'm afraid it is just you, because obviously it is Russell Crowe holding a wand and wearing robes.

No, I'm afraid you're mistaken. It's definitely Sean Connery.

Sean Bean. He is, after all, slated to die.

What do we say to the God of Death?
"Look over there--it's Sean Bean!"

Or as my often ineffectual gaming group has been saying lately:
"What do we say to the God of Teamwork?"
"Not today!"

What we seem to have here is a generational gap -- one of us, presumably among the older, more awesome group, sees Sean Connery; the other, presumably...er...NOT among the older, more awesome group (and you, sir, need to get off my lawn), sees some young whippersnapper who can't hold a candle to Sean.

I imagined that Tollenkar and his artwork represented Steve Jackson's alter ego.

Is it true that Steve lives on the sixth and lowest level of 3735 Promontory Point Drive, with his game design laboratory, his library, and a small hoard of treasure?

And how often has he been tempted to use the private gate to escape (and to where does it lead)? ;-)

No, Steve’s alter ego was represented on the original Wizard box and ITL Roger Stone covers

Also gotta go with James Bond and Walter Frey. Especially Tollenkar’s eyes - perfect match for Connery.
