From exploding corpses to comic book heroes, Mitchell and Jamey explore their favorite superhero games, RPG classes, and what happens when your party’s healer can’t stop picking fights.

Episode 20 of Positively Board Gaming kicks off with celebration, banter, and a preview of the first-ever live recording for episode 21. Mitchell and Jamey share their excitement for engaging directly with fans during the live stream and reflect on how much the show has grown.

Jamey starts the conversation by reviewing the new Fantastic Four movie—which he ranks in his top five superhero films of all time—and uses it as a jumping-off point to spotlight six of his favorite superhero-themed board games: Marvel Dice Throne, Sentinels of the Multiverse, Comic Hunters, Marvel Remix, Marvel Villainous, and The Reckoners. Mitchell dives into the mechanics and design of Sentinels, sharing his appreciation for how storytelling is integrated into card-based games.

Then, Mitchell takes over with a deep dive into his five favorite RPG character classes: the Necromancer, Cleric/Paladin, Bard, Ranger, and Rogue. He recounts hilarious D&D stories—like the time their healer insisted on leading every charge—and explores why certain archetypes resonate across both tabletop and video games.
