It’s the Spring MoDPDM Special! On Saturday 27th March, the Ministry of Dice hosted an Online Dice Masters tournament and we are talking all about the event in today’s episode. We start with a quick run down of the event – find out about the format, the MoD event philosophy, how played, where they came from and other such tournament report headlines. Then we take a brief journey back in time to the day of the event and tune in to some audio Chris & Andy recorded on the day. How is Andy getting on and what type of teams has he come up against? We finish up focussing on the teams and card we saw on the day. We break down the top 4 teams, take a look at the most popular, most used cards, and edhighlight a few of our “notable mentions”. All this – and we discover a word that Andy can’t say… If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review. It really helps us get the word out to new listeners and is encouraging to Andy.

The Ministry Of Dice - A UK Dice Masters Podcast

BR6 Ep 95 The Bystandards

It’s another mega-packed episode of Dice Masters podcast goodness with the Ministry of Dice! You like podcasts? You like Dice Masters? You like listening to idiots chatting? Then we’ve got just the thing for you... We kick things of with a standard intro catching up with the lads and getting some updates on what they’ve been up to since the last episode. It’s been light on Dice Masters news & info of late so other than a bit of 10/10 chat its mostly random updates on Andy’s skip and what Chris has been playing on the Nintendo Switch. Then its onto a bit of chat about the experience of collecting Dice Masters. We talk about picking up trades, buying cards on the secondary market, and the desire to collect & complete sets. To finish up we jump into Andy’s Q Branch for some classic MoD quiz action. Andy’s prepared a challenge for Chris and we encourage you, our beautiful audience, to play along. All of this – and a short explanation of the modern media’s mis-use of the term “millennial”… If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review. It really helps us get the word out to new listeners and is encouraging to Andy.

BR6 Ep 94 "Andy’s A Boomer"

It’s another mega-packed episode of Dice Masters podcast goodness with the Ministry of Dice! You like podcasts? You like Dice Masters? You like listening to idiots chatting? Then we’ve got just the thing for you... It’s yet another episode packed to the brim. We start by chatting through our recent games of Dice Masters in preparation for the upcoming MoDPDM (details below) and sharing what other gaming we’ve been up to. Then it’s on to a bit of chat about the end of Covid restrictions and what this may mean for small, local gaming groups who play Dice Masters. Chris shares some thoughts about his local scene and what he needs to get his head around for the after times, and wonders what impact the 12-month hiatus might mean for some players. Finally – it’s the return of the classic “Vs Battle” segment. We’re pitting two sets up against each other in this episode to determine which is the stronger set. It’s Golden vs Modern in this showdown of Marvel Dice Masters sets: Civil War and Infinity Gauntlet. Which has more useable globals? Which has more impressive Basic Actions? Which has the standout super-rares? Listen to hear our conclusion. All of this – and an update on how Andy gets along on Southampton Common during these lockdown times… If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review.

BR 6 Ep 93 Unravelling A Roadmap?

The Ministry of Dice are back with a jam-packed episode of Dice Masters podcasting greatness once again… We open with the standard warm up intro, discussing what we’ve been playing lately (both Dice Masters AND non-Dice Masters) and generally how we’ve been getting on. We’ve got 10/10 format prep going on, panic in the streets about the existence of the Dark Phoenix Saga set, and some thoughts on a potential MoD podcast spin off about reality TV shows. Then we have a classic MoD “Pick of Week” segment, focusing on the little burst of new DC Dice Masters Kryptonite Crisis spoilers that have hit the internet in recent weeks. Chris & Andy highlight their top picks – a card each from the Kryptonite Crisis spoilers that has caught their eye, got their brewing juices flowing, and intrigued them. We wrap up the episode with some expanded chat around the 10/10 format preparations and our predictions/thoughts on the meta we might at the ModPDM on the 27th March. All of this – and Andy’s feelings about Discord and cards with 6 lines of text. Hit play now… If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review.

BR 6 Ep 92 More Than Six Lines Of Text

It’s time for the 89th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – bringing you Dice Masters chat from the shores of UK! If you thought last episode was a ramble-y mess then you ain’t heard nothing yet – Andy is on a distinct mission to de-rail all conversation this week, taking things to weirder places than usual. Despite this we still manage to get some Dice Masters talk in there. After the standard intro & catch up with the lad’s Gaming life over the last two weeks we move onto our first major segment of the episode with some chat about the Dark Phoenix Saga delays. Chris has found himself pondering why the Dice Masters community are so restless and have been so perturbed by the upcoming Dice Masters set delay and considers whether there’s still life in the Infinity Gauntlet cards to keep us going yet. Then we jump over to some Andy Q Branch where he brings one of his classic Andy E Challenges to the table. With no more campaign boxes can we rustle up some home-made storage with the detritus from around our houses. Listen to the set up of yet another MoD craft job and return next episode for the exciting conclusion. All that, and so much more. Get your aural pleasure NOW by pressing play… If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review.

BR 6 Ep 89 Grotty Jogging Bottoms

The 88th episode of the Ministry of Dice is here for all your fortnightly Dice Masters chat needs. It’s a good old ramble-y mess this week, certainly to start, as the lads attempt to awaken themselves enough from the time-less malaise of the Christmas holiday times to record a podcast. It’s a whole lot of meandering chat that illustrates what happens in the between days of the Festive season: not a “name day”, but still the holidays. The first section packs a whole 2/3 minutes of solid Dice Masters content in it… we think. Then its onwards to a Community Focus segment. We update y’all on the upcoming BWX-Fest – the latest Dice Masters online tournament to go in the diary - and have a little natter about the chosen format and make some predictions. Finally; we wrap up with a follow up to our last episode, sharing some listener correspondence about episode 87 and re-visiting the “Naughty & Nice” theme from our own view after hearing the list from our survey last episode. What are Chris & Andy’s favourite cards from the Dice Masters releases in 2020, and which, to quote Chris, are the Dice Masters cards that “should receive a lump of coal this year”? And then we’ll be done, ready to start 2021 and remembering what day of the week it is. If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review. It really helps us get the word out to new listeners and is encouraging to Andy.

BR6 Ep 88 Who’s Travolta, Who’s Cage?

Step into Christmas with Chris & Andy with the 87th episode of the Ministry of Dice! This is the “Christmas Cracker” episode, full of festive joy for Dice Masters fans to enjoy. We couldn’t think of anything more Christmassy than dodgy celebrity impersonations, 80s quiz shows, and Christmas songs so here we are with all 3 thrown in the mix. The centrepiece of the episode is the “Christmas Cracker Big Dice Masters Quiz of 2020”, in which the lads use carefully crafted 80s quiz show formats to look back over the Dice Masters releases in 2020. What were the big cards of the year? Who were the surprise hits? What were the disappointments? Honestly – this section runs on a bit, but we hope that you enjoy playing along and stick with it LOL. Then it’s onto the “New Years” portion of the ‘cast, where we take a look forward into 2021 and discuss what we believe the big questions are for Dice Masters in the coming year. It’s a festive treat to start the Christmas week – don’t hang around and hit play now! If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review.

BR 6 Ep 84 Wild Assumptions And Crazy Speculation

Welcome to the latest episode of The Ministry of Dice, the go-to, bi-weekly podcast for all your UK Dice Masters podcasting needs. It’s yet another fully packed to the brim episode, with all the usual high standard of tangential chatter from Chris & Andy. We start this episode with our standard catch up, having a bit of a natter about what we’ve been up to in the last two weeks. What games have we played? What’s new in Dice Masters? How did Chris get on in the Virtual Worlds? Which famous TV show cast does Chris have the autographs of? All this and more as we talk over our previous fortnight. Then its on to talking Dice Masters Online. With social distancing continuing for the foreseeable future Chris & Andy share some thought about getting your local group together virtually to get some Dice Master play time in despite not being able to meet face-to-face. Mostly a few encouraging words and some ideas – don’t hesitate to give us a shout for any elaboration you might need/want on any of the points. We then see the episode out talking brewing. With the Dice Masters Vs Cancer event just four weeks away we’ve been thinking about the Single Affiliation format and discuss our differing approaches t team building. How do our methods of making a team in a restricted format like this differ? What do we look for? It’s our hope we may help inspire a few brewers out there to get some Single affiliation builds done and enter the event we are hosting to raise money for Cancer Research UK. All this and soooooooo much more to pleasure your holes. What are you waiting for – hit play… If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review. It really helps us get the word out to new listeners and is encouraging to Andy.

BR6 Ep 83 Goldfish Shoals Nibbling At My Toes

Welcome to episode 82 of the Ministry of Dice – your one stop, podcast shop for Dice Masters news, updates and chat from Chris & Andy. We’ve called this episode the “Community Focus Episode”, because there’s so many news items and community updates for Dice Masters plans we had to spend an awful lot of time on it all. After our usual start getting warmed up and talking over what we’ve been up to we move into some chat about the news. There’s Dice Masters new releases announced for 2021, there’s info about the new Spider-Man Team Up Campaign box, there’s been a glimpse at some new Organised Play kits, AND there’s been more Dark Phoenix Saga spoilers. Like we said – been a busy 2 weeks since our last episode. Then we bring you folks into the loop on some info about our latest endeavour at the MoD – our new podcast and video content called MoDXtra. It’s not Dice Masters, but we hope that you’ll be interested in checking it out. Finally: it’s Dice Masters Vs Cancer talk. We provide some further details about the format & team building restrictions for the Dice Masters charity fundraiser we’re holding in November before moving on to having a little chat about the format and why we like it so much. Phew! A LOT of ground to cover, so you’d better not hang about and get yourselves listening NOW… If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review.

BR6 Ep 81 Looks Like A Pineapple Chunk

It’s the 80th Episode of The Ministry of Dice. Tune in for your fortnightly Dice Masters chat with Chris & Andy from the UK. There’s lots of great conversation for you to enjoy in this week’s episode. We kick off with the usual opening “warm up” natter with the lads, where you can hear all about their recent experiences playing Dice Masters (and other games). Of particular note you’ll hear about how they’ve found experimenting with the latest Dice Masters set: Infinity Gauntlet, and Andy’s 80s love getting catered to by Cobra Kai on Netflix. Then it’s on to some chat about our new “Set Versus Battle…” series over on our YouTube channel. We love exploring fun, casual ways to enjoy the game and our latest venture in this space is to try pitting particular Dice Masters sets against each other and in this instalment its Justice Vs War of Light. In the segment you’ll hear our thoughts on why this is an important way to play Dice Masters, a little about how Chris came to make his team, and Andy’s reflections on the meta impact of War of Light. We finish up with some classic MoD ridiculous segment fun with another one of Andy’s Q Branch” instalments. This really could qualify as one of our most anarchic & pointless appropriations of a 80s British game show yet. We hope it gives you a laugh at least. LOL All this, and SO MUCH more.
