Hey guys. We sell every ebook we have ever made (and will ever make) currently for $50 in the Ebook Megapack. Generally, only hardcore completionists buy it, or people who want so many of our titles at once that it's cheaper/easier to just get the megapack.

However, since the Ebook Megapack is a "in perpetuity" thing (that is, you pay up once and you get access to all the files it'll ever have until itch.io goes down or until we change our minds), we're realizing that it's time to raise the price. The $50 price tag has remained the same for years, inflation has risen, and we've added a LOT of work to it over the years. It's currently over 50 titles and well over 1000 pages!

We haven't quite decided what the new price will be, $75 or $100, but whatever we end up choosing, we'll be making the switch on February 16, 2025 as a celebration of Infinity Smashed's twenty-fifth anniversary.

Letting folks know because if you want a (comparatively) cheap megapack of our work, now is the time to get it.

January means that Arisia is coming up at the Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge January 17-20, 2025, and we'll be doing our usual tabling (in the dealer's room) and panels! We also are planning to have the brand spanking new omnibus of Madgic, with a shiny color cover and everything, so come check it out!

Hours for the dealer's room:

Saturday 10am - 7pm (closed for lunch 1-2 pm)
Sunday 10am - 7pm (closed for lunch 1-2 pm)
Monday 10am - 2:30pm

And our panels:

Third Spaces: (Central Square Saturday, January 18, 2025, 12:30 PM) Third spaces aren't home, and they aren't work. They're neutral places where people can gather as a community. Houses of worship, barbershops/salons, public libraries, and parks are all examples of third spaces. As we recover from pandemic isolation, how do we find affordable third spaces and make them welcoming? Can virtual communities serve as third spaces?

Funding a Life of Fandom - Financial Planning for Nerds: (202 Sunday, January 19, 2025, 1:45 PM) No lectures about avocados or coffee here! Learn how to build wealth at any state or stage of life to fund a life of fandom. We'll explore qualitative and quantitative measures of wealth and ways to generate it. A discussion of how to create and use resources will cover investment vehicles, analyzing goals, and finding a route to fulfill your plans.

Neurodiversity in Sci-Fi and Fantasy: (Central Square Sunday, January 19, 2025, 4:15) This panel will explore the history of neurodiversity in SF/F. From its existence in the genre and fandom to neurodiverse-coded characters, we’ll discuss what they get right and what they get wrong, as well as what the representation means for the community.
