Who needs official anyways? If he is running games that is good enough.
Oddly enough I am on his new mailing list just to stay in the loop. I went to one of Jamez games once a long time ago, before I realized how bad traffic and parking were. Shame he is gone, since I regarded his games to be some of the best. We will miss him at TotalCon I think. (maybe I should run a game at TotalCon next year...)
