It's story time! Joshy guides Zakky through the weird and wacky sci-fi setting of Warframe, a cult classic Action-MMO by Digital Extremes, released in 2013. Beloved by the TTP.FM, Warframe offers an amazingly unique and robust gameplay, focusing on super-powered humanoids as they bullet-jump, blast, and hack their way through many in-game factions. The lore of this setting is where most stumble. Developed piecemeal over a decade, with quests spanning from simple tutorials to full-blown cinematics linking together deep philosophical concepts and near-mythical characters.

Join us as we go over the setting, the questline story, and how this comes to life in-game.

TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and tabletop gaming fans from the local group Trust the Process Hobbies. Die-hard fans of tabletop gaming, we use this podcast as a platform to share our ramblings about the hobby (though we cannot shut up about Warhammer).

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 has a passion for buying things he then has to build.

Thanks for listening!

About your hosts

Joshua Bryant

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.
