The MoD are back boys and girls to bring you some Dice Masters chat from the centre of the world Great Britain.
Once again it’s a hell of an episode, with all the #bants and p**s taking out of Andy you could possibly desire. Not only that, but this episode marks the long awaited return of fan favourite & friend of the podcast, thelegend himself, Rip Thunderstone.
The big news in Dice Masters this week is the impending US Nationals events, so we take a walk through the scheduled events at the Origins Game Fair and have a little look at the prizing on offer (Or tried to, possibly unsuccessfully). Then we dive into some team predictions for the event, tapping into Rip’s extensive knowledge of powerful Modern Win Cons, and discuss what we believe will be the top performing team archetypes of the event.
Not only that, but Chris flies solo with a short segment recorded live at the UK Games Expo. Will the Expo segment live up to the hopes the lads express in the pre-recorded intro, or fall flat of our expectations? Give it a listen and you decide. A word of warning to the wise – turn the volume down when that one starts, we couldn’t get it levelled right!
Hit play for your fortnighly dose of MoD amazing-ness!

Why would Andy’s throat hurt? What was he doing while you and Rip were talking?

So much jingoist Britain. All the flags, even drawn on back of hand in video. The God Save the Queen and Rule Britannia musics. Brexit has made you people very silly.

Well now… this is just a sad reflection of the perception Brexit has created around the world, and, while the MoD chooses not to bring politics to the game of Dice Masters we think it’s important to point out we can be proud to be a British podcast that has our nationality form part of our identity without subscribing to the more extreme views from our nation.
For us the Union Jack is about the album cover of “The Kids are Alright” by the Who and the Parka patches worn by Mods in Quadrophenia. It’s Noel Gallagher’s Epiphone and Paul McCartney’s Hofner . It’s James Bond’s parachute, it’s Bowie’s Union Jack leather jacket, it’s Ben Sherman, it’s Clark’s shoes, it’s Mini Coopers and the Italian Job, it’s The Jam’s famous photo shoot in Union Jack blazers. It’s about twee British sitcoms and seaside postcard humour.
We love and parody these things equally.
We are silly at the MoD, but not for the reasons you ascribe. We thank you for your comment but ask that we keep Dice Masters politics free and, if you can, see the use of the Union Jack as more of a daft caricature than any jingoistic agenda.
Thanks for listening. 😎🇬🇧
