In other news, the UATV devs tracked down the bug that was recently preventing new subscriptions on Unauthorized. Note that this did not affect renewals.

Unauthorized.TV patch – Sep. 2nd 2024
This weekend, we patched an issue which was preventing many of you from reactivating your UATV subscription or taking out new ones. If you recently encountered a “server error” page while trying to manage your subscription, that problem has now been resolved.

We will be launching the long-awaited crowdfund campaign for the HYPERGAMOUSE book and the SIGMA GAME book next week. It will be a 60-day campaign, and we expect both books to be ready to ship at the end of the campaign. Speaking of campaigns, the AH:Q books are now in the warehouse and we’ll start sending them out to the backers next week.

And finally, we appear to be on a track to get the bindery fully operational in October. This is the first book to be cased, stamped, and cased-in by the newly-repaired machines; it was just completed yesterday. As you can see from the picture, we’ve been experimenting with improving both the thickness of the boards and the overhang now that these details are under our control. The key thing here is that the leather is the Italian cowhide that our previous press did not have the tonnage to stamp cleanly. Obviously, that problem has been resolved by our new 73-year-old Swiss-made beast.
