I find watching your videos of you fleshing out your creations onscreen almost hypnotic. Makes me quite envious. If you (or any other DM out there reading this) enjoy making physical props - which I do - then a nice and simple way to make soft, aged parchment is as follows: take a sheet of A4, and crush it into a ball. Unfold and repeat. Keep doing this simple process and when you've done this maybe twenty times you will have reduced the sheet to a floppy, creased piece of almost material-like paper. To age it I've used an ink wash and left over night to dry. Be careful, though, it is very easy to tear when damp, so transport to your drying area before hand. Be careful when writing or drawing, as ink bleed can occur, and the sheet itself can be rather delicate. But with patience and careful handling the finished effect is perfect for a game prop that looks ancient, and delicate as effected by time stuck in a dark dungeon, or chest, etc. I know this might sound basic, but save the cardboard kitchen rolls to use as protective carriers for such items. I just wish I could post images of my little efforts as an example, but alas, not possible here. But have fun with it, and be prepared for initial failures, it can be tricky. But one nice aspect about this technique is that corners will fold, and edges will tear, but it looks even better as a result.
OMG! I'm so glad to have found you among all the other TH-camrs. You do everything I love: Illustrating, D&D, and skateboarding. Never hit subscribe so fast in my life.
Perhaps the behemoth could hold out its arm and produce gelatinous cubes as minions from the dripping slime. Or maybe some type of goblin reskin like the Goatlins? (Slimelins, Sludgelins, Gooplins, etc..)
thats awesome! maybe the players could destroy part of the armor, but the tree slime could grab a bunch of wood from the floorboards it punched through, while the players are on the second level and arm itself up again somehow, idk :D really cool encounter and awesome drawing! (also the flumph is cute af :D)
An ability for it could be an immunity to arrows as it is made of slime and slime is maluable or that the slime is like acid so it would burn or melt the arrows or wooden weapons
Awesome video! I'm definitely getting the zine, this is a super cool monster idea. As far as abilities, maybe something like this: If the Sludge Behemoth takes enough fire damage (players see wood monster, they're gonna try fire) the armor burns off. With the armor gone, the sludge behemoth is less protected but its charge becomes more dangerous, not only dealing damage but engulfing players that are hit by it, similar to a gelatinous cube and other ooze monsters, just...way faster (and terrifying). Or if that's too much, it could just get some extra melee reach as its arms can now stretch and maneuver freely.
If you haven't checked out the monsters in the Dungeon Crawl Classics game yet, you gotta take a look, they ahve some awsome similar ideas to your ideas.
Ohhh nice! Good tip. There are so many of them and I'm not familiar enough with the old stuff to know if I want the updated version. Any recommendations?

Nice tips, JP! I love an encounter that is not just a fight and gives players many solutions

Globins!
I'm running this adventure tomorrow. This is a great idea, he drops 1d4 small slimes that the characters already dealt with in Dragon Town each round.

Could you please draw some clash of clans characters as dnd minis?

Love the stretchy arm idea!!!
@@JPCoovert Nice! I almost didn't post this comment cause the rest of the suggestion felt way too complicated hahaha
awesome vid! literally got inspired by the sludge behemoth to sketch something out while watching! Thanks JP!

I watched some of your videos, and i am impressed by your draws. I'd like to ask that when you draw on a PC, you use your mouse?
I use a Wacom Cintiq :)
hello how do you get ideas at what to draw?
*Cough* Port Vela. *Cough*
Yes!
👏👏👏👏👏
