Clash of the Type-Ins

It's STILL Halloween time, so it's time for Jenni to play Ryan's EctoComp 2026 entry about, YUP, LEPHREA THE VAMPIRE. AGAIN. And Carl is there too!

It's HALLOWEEN TIME so Ryan and Jenni play Carl Muckenhoupt's EctoComp 2026 entry about a monster. There's an awful lot of being stuck on puzzles in this one so I will let you use that podcast app function that automatically skips dead air. THIS TIME. HALLOWEEN TIME.

Ryan and Jenni jump right back in that dang old podcast saddle, because they both want to play another Lephrea the Vampire game that does not any involve cryptic crossword clues.

The goal of the podcast is not usually to torture Jenni, but this time around we are playing a game about cryptic crossword clues. It's also about a sexy vampire named Lephrea. And a zoo!

Ryan hatches a shameless plot to turn the show into an ad for his Patreon campaign by inflicting upon Jenni a game which as of this writing is available only to paying Patreoneers! But it will be released publicly at some point, so calm down. The title of the game, you ask? Why, it is "Ryan Veeder's Agatha Christie's the Murder on the Orient Express," and the contents of the game are exactly what the title implies.

Harrison Gerard joins us for a marathon episode where we play like 38% of the first Taleframe game based on "Crocodracula," the classic 90s kid's horror soap opera that you definitely remember, and if you don't remember it, PLEASE google it before you listen to this episode. The game is called Crocodracula: The Beginning, and the reason Harrison is here is because he supplied all the feelies. BY SCANNING THEM WITH HIS NICE SCANNER.

Ryan hatches a shameless plot to turn the show into an ad for his Little Match Girl games, but grossly underestimates the time it will take to play the second entry in the series, and that is why this podcast is more than two hours long. Jenni concludes that, with podcasts like these, there is no need for her to go back to therapy. And Nils is there too, trying to get a word in edgewise.

Nils Fagerburg is compelled to push aside a dolomite sarcophagus-topper and expose Ryan and Jenni once more to the light of day--and to a lovely little Verdeterrelike featuring Trevor the Snake.

Chandler Groover sticks around to show us a game with HOLD the phone, HOW many endings?! Good grief. There's also some racy stuff in there but I think I bleeped it all out pretty good.

Clash of the Type-Ins returns to your ears and Chandler Groover returns to Clash of the Type-Ins to share with us his very short Ectocomp winner and delineate the terms of his bitter rivalry with one of your hosts.
