Phillip Drayer Duncan

Phillip Drayer Duncan has written ten novels. His work has been published with Yard Dog Press, Pro Se Productions, Seventh Star Press, and Happy Omega Publishing. Along with reading and writing like a madman, he enjoys kayakin', canoein', fishin', and pretty much anything nerd related. More than anything, he enjoys spending time with his ridiculously awesome friends and his wonderful family. During the warm months, his natural habitat includes the river or a campfire. In the colder seasons, he morphs into a hermit and may be spotted under a pile of books or video games. You might also catch him in the wild at a concert or a convention. His earliest books were acted out with action figures and scribbled into notebooks. Today he uses a computer like a real grown-up. His greatest dream in life is to become a Jedi, but since that hasn’t happened yet, he focuses on writing.

Vault-Tec Welcomes You to the Future

Videogame adaptations for TV aren't new, but none capture our apocalyptic dreams like Fallout. The series is more accessible than ever. We love to leave our safe lives in the Vault and seek adventure in the wasteland.

Pun and Games

The moderator will choose a topic (cheese, TV shows, all those weird Oreo flavors, whatever) and the puns will fly until the panelists run dry. The topic will be over if one minute passes without a new pun being offered, at which point the moderator chooses another topic, or asks the audience for one. The final ten minutes of the panel will be a pun free-for-all, any topic goes.
