The Ministry Of Dice: A Dice Masters Podcast
BR 6 Ep 150 Tabletop Stimulator
Welcome to the 150th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat.
Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game.
We open up with our usual catch-up chatter. The World Championship event is open for booking on the Gen Con website now, and Andy’s been playing Uno on holiday. We seem to talk about much more than that, but those are the two key points LOL.
Then its on to our first featured segment, which is the promised tournament report from Chris about his time at the UK Games Expo Dice Masters event. You’ll get the run down of which teams & cards caught his eye, how the draft went, and a sense of the overall atmosphere on the day.
Our second featured segment continues our exploration of Secret Wars with a classic “Ministry of Dice Live Brew”. This time around the focus cards have been selected by listeners; Chris & Andy will discuss some of their ideas for teams built around the chosen cards and share their rationale for the ideas.
All this, and find out about Andy’s Freudian slip…
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.

01:20:32|,Welcome to the 154th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat. Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game.This episode we continue the epic mission of ranking every single Dice Masters set since its first arrival on the tabletop scene. This is the second instalment now, mostly because Chris can’t stop himself from wandering down memory lane and getting all doughy eyed and nostalgic about his most beloved sets. That’s right – soon we will have fully S-Tier placed every set according to our experience and a very loose and ill-defined criteria. Classic MoD. Then we head on over to the inbox to check out some recent correspondence we’ve received from quite a prestigious listener. A throwaway comment in a recent episode pricked up this listener’s ears and they wanted to get in touch to talk about it. Who cold it be? Oh, and this is the episode that Andy’s computer finally died (or he lost the crank handle, something like that) so he sounds like he’s speaking to us with a gag over his mouth… and its not even the weekend…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.
