  Join us for an informal meet & greet/hangout with a bunch of MisCon's writers and editors. This isn't a formal panel with panelists up on the stage discussing a topic. Instead, everyone will grab chairs in the pavilion, and the moderator will get things going. Then we'll open things up so small group hangouts can happen until the end of the hour. This is your chance to informally meet a bunch of the people you'll see on panels all weekend.

• Break Fri 1:50 - Fri 4:00
• Fri 4:00 - 4:50 PM, Magic System Design, Great Hall 3
  Panelists: Manny Frishberg, Rhiannon Held, Ann Marie Scott (AM), Matthew Yetter

  Magic is a cornerstone of fantasy, but what is a magic system? Join our panelists as we delve into the workings of magic, discuss examples, and provide insights into balancing magic with world and plot elements.
