I'm imagining now wild stews who have colonised hot springs, sometimes pulling animals into the mess of somewhat acidic and naturally hot water to drown and boil them.
I have three hags in my home brew and this makes for a wonderful addition to their lore. The hags are chaotic good and helpful to the PCs most of the time, when it suits them and their designs. Having a living stew never crossed my mind. Thank you😂😂😂
There is a PC in the group that has a hexborn alchemist artificer and might bring this up as a familiar.
For some reason this reminds me of a hedge witch character we had one time that cast a pickling spell on an ogre.
I’ve been waiting for this!
This sounds like something from the Feywild. There are stories of talking bread asked to be taken out of the oven, apple trees who want their apples picked, etc. There could be a fun Feywild story where the Archfey is an awakened stew asking for rare ingredients. And now I want to run that adventure.
I like the idea of the stew having an emergency humaniod soup dumpling mode or mash potato cradle if its spilt on the ground. There are supposed to large soups that are never refreshed in some asian restaurants. That would bea great idea for like a village elder stew in a local of community eating hole.
Polymorphed stew convinces hobbit community it's caretaker family is still alive out of fear what another ambitious hobbit family would do. PCs horrified to find their "Ph Nuetral," quest giver suddenly puddled in the middle of the dinning room table.
Great work !
I grew up in rural Alabama, born into a home with a coal stove in the kitchen and a wood stove in the living room, and an outhouse out back. Grandma always kept a pot of stew on the stove and all of the leftovers went in plus whatever we foraged, trapped or fished from the local creeks. We farmed our land, sold the extras at the market. We worked odd jobs for neighbours that brought in a little money. We scratched out a living, but we never felt poor.
Happy Halloween AJ. 10/10 on the video and homebrew.
I am imagining a tavern run by a family of soup pots. Mama stew in the kitchen cauldron. Papa stew is a brewer, soup bard to entertain, maybe a laundry bucket full of fragrant flowers caustic soda and saparin rich berries, and the doorman/ boiler is a fiery brew in a steam work golem or stationary construct responsible for lighting hot water and mechanical functions. Plot hooks possible stolen family recipe by their cousin the food cart.
damn that made me
H U N G R Y!!! 🤤
4 & a half mins in had to
pause & go sort some
grub! 😋
(musta failed my save,… 😞 )
right, carry on! 😁
There is something in my dark twisted mind that likes imagining a cauldron suddenly attempting to eat the halfling cooking something in it.
Happy Halloween AJ.
I don't see why it needs to be a stew, specifically. What about a dwarven still that has been kept going and hasn't been completely emptied in hundreds of years?
It's a sapient ooze, a booze, if you will, who just enjoys brewing alcohol for the hardworking dwarves to relax with. Probably a bit brusque, but attentive to the needs of others. Especially if you're tired and sore, and you just need a good beer.
As far as puns go on a given video title or topic, I have to stew on this for a while.
A fantastic homestew! The only problem is now I want to play one!
Thank you! This is an awesome idea for a creature and I'm already looking for places to add them. I'm thinking a potion shop in the frozen north, where the stew is the actual potion maker while a slightly ruthless, though not malicious, shopkeeper keeps it warm and fed in exchange of service. I mean, where else is it going to go? It's well below freezing, on the warmest days, outside. 😉
Omg lol 0:21 dire halfling haha lol, haha somone made a table of offencive ways to refer to diffrent dnd races my favorits is calling a drow spider kisser
WOW…A "modified' shield golem as a mobile cooking pot for a perpetual stew to use as a body.. AwEsOME!!🥳🤯🤯😳🤤🤤😎… I'd imagine the "stew golem" would need some sort of heat/fire runes inscribed and enchanted to keep the "pilot" stew comfortable… so many possibilities… lil halfling nanies, battle medics, new interesting RP experiences if it's used as player character.
AJ thanks so much for these amazing vids this one is now in top 5 favorites of your vids for me. keep up the amazing work and have an awesome holloween.
This is one of the most unique creature concepts I have heard in a while. Which is difficult considering you pull the most strange and obscure monsters of D&D history into the spotlight every week.
I would love to see a Volo's Guide style chapter on the Perpetual Stew and the variations of it.
love it
A perpetual stew of oil, coolant, grease, and maybe a few screws/bolts found in a Gnomish workshop. A few levels as an armor artificer here, a couple of heating coils there. Toss in some tool proficiencies and bam!
Magical Mobile Garage.
Reminds me of an old story called ,"Stone Soup".
Oh the possibilities, Like everything in DnD to every rule there has to be an exception, Is how about a gaspato, A cold perpetual stew that can only survive only survive in frigid but not freezing environments It wouldn't want to get freezer burn
I have always included perpetual stew in my campaigns, and never thought to use it like this! Your videos are such a fantastic fountain of inspiration, I thank you so much for helping in coloring and infusing my worlds with such great ideas like this one.
For the algorithm
Now I'm thinking about a certain perpetual pudding. Better whistle thrice
So they are pretty much the Ghibli and Disney version of Nopons and Kupos.
Great content as always, AJ, & great stash (mustache), too! 🎃
A Halfling caravan could make quite a living as a traveling restaurant with one of these at it's hearth. The flavor of their dishes change based off what local ingredients they can chuck in the living stew. I once added an NPC traveling cook who was a cleric of Fharlanghn to a campaign. He had a strange back harness grown from living wood by a druid which looked like elegant curved branches sprouting from his back to dangle different spices, cookware and produce off of. He also had an animated hanging cooking pot that acted like his pet and ambled around on tripod metal legs.
Why'd you change the thumbnail? Or am I losing my mind?

Holy lord that's an unsettling image. That scarecrow is disturbingly creepy and the smiling children flanking it on either side juxtaposed with its creepiness will haunt my dreams for weeks to come.
I first saw Jon Pertwe at the doctor but grew up with Tom Baker as my doctor.
I smell what the Mighty Gluestick is cooking
This reminds me of the growths you see in cultured buttermilk.
Those growths are basically immortal colonies of many different useful bacteria that constantly grow as long as there are good conditions. I can easily see someone tossing such things into a low heat simmering perpetual stew and having interesting results. That actually sounds nice, I think I'll try making a living perpetual stew analog one of these days.
One could use a vessel in which portions can be and are readily kept merely warm while other sections are kept nice and hot.
One could in an edible growth medium held within such a vessel grow all sorts of interesting and wonderful things.
great video, thanks!
Great Homebrew!
Do you mind if I make my version of Perpetual Stew public on DnD Beyond?
Halloween creation with a Firefly reference? Shiny!
Having watched every single momster video you have, I think this might be the best one you've made yet!
I am DEFINITELY making the halflings of a particularly cold region in my setting organize their extended families around particular cauldrons of Forever Stew.
The name Perpetual Stew made me think a cannibal from warhammer 40k ate the primarch Vulkan lol
