According to the TSR guys it's meant to be the same guy as he levels up.

That I couldn't tell you. It could be equal parts both. But if wizards didn't want this made in the way that it was made then they would drop the hammer. If that was their initial idea or they just went with it you'd have to ask them

Wizards paid for it. This was back before the rise of plastic minis. And they had us yank a few because apparently they were too close to the art. And they thought the owl bear was goofy. Which in their defense it was. But the boss would come in have us pull some miniatures off the line and go...

Speaking from personal experience as somebody who's worked at a miniatures company the company that has commissioned the piece has an awful lot of power on how it looks. I worked at reaper and we would get calls all the time to change aspects of the different models we were making from the...

I don't think they're going to go past the first five levels of lost city simply because after that the monsters ramp up in difficulty quite a bit. It's supposed to be according to their own descriptions taking you from level 1 to 3, but you've got vampire spawn and devil swine in the next five...

Quite a bit. Different powers, tactics and motivations. Devil swine and were-boars hate each other. The swine are defined by their greed and gluttony, are far more magical with the ability to charm. They are slavers and cannibals on top of it. There is much more information on them in the...

Which also causes another question of why have lost city and pharaoh in the same compilation? Two dungeon crawls set in a desert pyramid seem a bit redundant unless it's a region themed anthology.
