[Question] [ The castle is under siege. The inhabitants are running out of food but have plenty of gold. The attackers have food supplies but need money to keep them coming.

[Question] [ In my industrial-punk-with-airships setting, I think it would be cool to have ship-mounted and personal-use ranged weapons that shoot swords, axes, glaives, or other heavy melee weapons.

[Question] [ I'm making a human society that has a lack of metal ore and no knowledge of metalworking at all.
