Dean Dryer - Overlord & Director of Unicorn Division
Long feared and equally revered as a head of Gaming at Necro, Dean can often be
found debunking psychics or saving orphans. In between such heroic efforts, he spends
his time plotting world domination as a planetary potentate.
Dean’s bucket list include: 1. Drive a jet-ski out of a plane mid-flight, punch a shark in
the face during the free fall, and then participate in the first round of skydiving beer
pong 2. Text “I hid the body” to a random number and 3. Finally understand women.
Dean’s phobias include: 1. Anatidaephobia -fear that somewhere in the world, there is
a duck watching you 2. Syngenesophobia - fear of relatives 3. Pogonophobia – fear of
beards.
In his spare time, Dean likes to swim with polar bears.
Heather Dryer - Chief Visionary Officer & Director of Awesome
As a head of Gaming at Necro, Heather can be counted on to enforce the rules without
too much bloodshed (well, except for that one time). Outside of the con, Heather is
often called upon to mediate wars and dispense justice when she isn’t stopping Dean’s
efforts at world domination.
Heather’s bucket list include: 1. Hire two private investigators and get them to follow
each other. 2. Solve a Rubik’s Cube in the dark. 3. Compete in the Iditarod sled race in
Alaska with a team of Pekingese.
Heather’s phobias include: 1. Phobophobia - fear of fear itself or of having a phobia.
2. Politicophobia- Fear or abnormal dislike of politicians. 3. Pentheraphobia- Fear of
mother-in-law.

About Necronomicon and Stone Hill
Necronomicon was started by a group of fans looking for a way to put
on a great convention. Thus was formed the Stone Hill Science Fiction
Association. Stone Hill is a Not for Profit group. These conventions are run
for the enjoyment the staff and volunteers feel upon successfully pulling off
yet another 3 day weekend.
The Stone Hill Science Fiction Association is a Tampa area club. Founded
in 1979, it’s a gathering of people that share interests in science fiction,
fantasy & horror. These interests range from movies, TV, comics, gaming,
computers and everything in between.
