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)? ;-)

Hmmm. I don't know. 49% and 50% matches do not fill me with confidence. (Nor are they prosecutable under law...) Now show me a 90% match, and maybe...

Personally, I think Tollenkar looks a lot like the Magician, Harry Blackstone, Jr.

And the Thorsz looks like Christopher Lambert.

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.

The problem there is the limited number of photographs for each personality. I see Sean Connery after James Bond, but before Extraordinary Gentlemen. I think Zardoz...

Just realised that while Tollenkar is clearly either Russel Crowe or Lemmy, the guy on the cover of TFT Adventures, you know the one that magicks the other guy's face off -- he DOES look like Sean Connery.
