Joshy, Jonny, and Zakky have a *very* casual conversation about how we enjoyed 2025, ranging our topics from the status quo of Warhammer 40,000 to our enthusiasm for cinema, novels, and more.

We intend to have this 'journal' series run bi- or tri-monthly, so if you enjoyed this format, please consider joining our Discord community and let us know. We'd love to hear from you.

TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and tabletop gaming tragics from the local group Trust the Process Hobbies. Die-hard fans of the hobby, we use this podcast to share our ramblings—particularly about Warhammer, which we can’t seem to shut up about.

By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, an RPG aficionado raised on Final Fantasy and years of crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds. Jonny, a technician, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can keep track of.

Our occasional guest Zakky is a courier with a passion for buying things he then has to build.

Thanks for listening!

About your hosts

By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, he's an RPG aficionado who grew up on (not-so) Final Fantasies and crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds.

Josh loves sci-fantasy, and so is quite at home with Warhammer! He plays Necrons, Adepta Sororitas, and Aeldari. His playstyle is reserved and cagey, preferring to outmaneuver his opponents before delivering the killing blow. His painting approach is a blend of fast painting styles and technical effects. He's the resident lore expert and wishes he could apply his encyclopaedic brain to other areas of life.

Jonny, a technician, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can keep track of.

Jonny is a big fan of magic in his games and putting together vicious combos. He's the de facto Champion of Chaos when it comes to Warhammer, playing Chaos Knights, Thousand Sons, and Chaos Space Marines. He loves synergistic army lists and is always putting together new ideas. His painting approach is classic 'Eavy Metal.
