  1. I did a little bit of research (please note that I am far, far from an expert in any of this stuff), and it seems like it would depend heavily on things like the elasticity of the metal and how thin it can be without breaking. Looking at the material Tedlar which is used for blimps (it was hard to find a point of reference for zeppelins in particular), it is typically used in thicknesses of 1-3 millimeters for aircraft and layered with a couple of other fabrics, so it would need to be able to have a very strong tensile strength to avoid being brittle, especially when in very cold temperatures. If you keep the same tensile strength of steel for the new metal, it would be a little iffy even if it weighed a lot less so I’d consider possibly changing it to be stronger. The weight of the metal would also be 10 times more than that of fabric even at 1/100 of steel, so it might be an issue, though could likely be made up for by the lessened weight of the metal frame holding it together. The fabric used for zeppelins is also typically stretched tight over a metal frame, so the ingravisteel would have to be cut very precisely in order to allow for it to have a consistent thickness and tight fit. Having stuff like rotary guns should be perfectly fine, zeppelins oftentimes had extra attachments like gondolas. Overall I’d say it’s probably feasible with a few tweaks if your world is advanced enough to have been using that sort of material. Also ingravisteel is a really cool name Edit: I saw your post on the other thread (you can hide duplicate topics by going to options at the bottom of the post, by the way ), and it seems that the number of propellers heavily depended on their efficiency, so you could feasibly have eight if you were willing to make them advanced enough. A cool thing to consider would be allowing them to turn 180° degrees in order to increase maneuverability, or possibly just adding more, if the ship is going to be used for military purposes.
  2. Nice catch I wasn’t about to be improper!
  3. ‘Tis a joyous day, for I have discovered that my dog answers to “Sploots McGoots”.

      We call my dog Steve.

      Her name is Myla.

      She doesn't respond to anything, though, except food.

      Also that is scudding amazing.

  4. I did some research and it doesn’t seem severe enough to warrant a doctor’s visit, luckily- apparently upper lip wounds heal ridiculously fast and never need sutures.
  5. You guys.

    If the afternoon is called the afternoon, then why isn’t the morning called the beforenoon?!

      English language does care about pronunciation. If the pronunciation starts with a vowel sound, you say 'an.' If it doesn't, then it starts with 'a.' For example:

      "Unicorn" starts with the "y" sound--a consonant sound. And no, don't get all elementary-school on me about how y is technically a vowel sometimes. It isn't in this case and I'm not putting up with that scud.

      "One" starts with a "w" sound--also a consonate. It'd be "a one-sided argument," not "an one-sided argument."

  16. Hi everyone! I wanna apologize for leaving without warning for a while. My mental health took a very sharp and unexpected downturn and there were some family emergencies, but fortunately everything turned out ok and I’m doing better now. I should be able to back and active now :D

  18. GOSH DARN IT I WAS DOING SO WELL GAHHHHH
  19. Ben apprehensively followed Lapis outside, inhaling a good bit of stormlight in case something went wrong. Was she planning to land in the pool or something?
  20. Ben raised an eyebrow. Sand magic? That was certainly a new one. Somehow even weirder than swallowing metals. “Yeah, definitely!” he said, eager to learn about more investiture. Lapis continued on. “Wait, roof-“ @Random Bystander @AonEne
  21. “Um... I’m not sure,” he replied, shooting a questioning glance at Cassie. “I mean, I can make you glow if you really want to. I can do illusiony stuff.” He awkwardly scratched his head, not entirely sure what to say next. “If you ever need any more healing, just let me know, ok? Oh, and nice to meet you, by the way!”
  22. “No problem,” Ben said, carefully touching her on her arm, just above her wrist. He closed his eyes, sucked in some stormlight, and focused for a moment. His glow diminished, and the kink in her wrist straightened itself out. “Oh, I’m Ben, by the way.”
  23. Ben bolted awake from his inactivity nap on the couch. “Huh? Regrowth? What?” His eyes drifted over to Cassie, then to the girl sitting next to her. Another new person? Doc was gonna have to build a new wing at that rate. The newcomer looked young, way younger than the average Radiant. This worried him- what had the poor girl gone through to already be broken enough for a bond at such a young age? Walking closer to her, his eyes focused on her wrist. The way that she carefully held it told him that it was what was hurt. “Is it all right if I heal you?” he asked, motioning towards her injury. Luckily it wasn’t anything relatively dangerous, so he didn’t need to rush. It was best to be polite with a stranger, anyways.
  24. Happy 1000 posts Knight!!!
