It certainly was really sad news. He has added a lot to the boardgames world in general and the game design community in particular, and will be missed.

Farewell to a mentor

Long before folks like Jamey Stegmaier came along, James Mathe was the one anyone who knew about the budding board game industry turned for assistance. Among them, I could myself very fortunate to have communicated via e-mail with him on a number of occasions discussing art/illustration, game design ideas, and the industry writ large. He will be missed by hundreds of folks whose lives he touched...by simply sharing his passion and dispensing knowledge to those who asked.

I wonder...

What will happen with http://www.jamesmathe.com ?! It is such an excellent source of information about the Game Industry and Kickstarter, etc. Would be a real shame to lose all that valuable information...

Plus without James to maintain it, I'm guessing the information will become stale too... (over time) But I guess most of the information will be accurate for a while longer (maybe a few years)...

What will they do? Will his estate maintain that website also?? Feeling real bad that @James is no longer with us, but what about all that curated information???

Peace @James... Let's hope someone can continue your legacy!
