In my DnD campaign, there's a fairly large city on the Moon. A magic forcefield surrounds the place to keep the oxygen in, but I just started to think about the presence of water. If someone more knowledgeable could help, I have some questions:

If I include a small lake/park in the city, what kind of fog effects would happen?

Do I even need a lake to accomplish this, or can rooftop gardens/enough plantlife provide enough infrastructure for a water cycle to happen?

How exactly would the water cycle look on what's effectively a terrarium exposed to 14 days of sun, then darkness? I imagine the weather would be extreme, but predictable.

I'll probably just magic away low-gravity within

Everyone who’s done the OWL program, what did your OWL-C’s do that made your experience enjoyable? What could they have done to make it better? I’m gonna be an OWL-C in a couple short months, and I don’t wanna fuck this up. Thanks!

As I understand it, The language spoken in France was originally Celtic (Gaul I think), then Germanic (Frankish Kingdom), and finally down to Romantic (France).

Was it a cultural migration/ expulsion? Just a linguistic shift? What caused it?

My best guess right now is that it has something to do with the Romans, the Holy Empire thereof, and maybe the spread of Christianity.

First of all, I'm not sure either of you are on this subreddit, but if you're in my 'Blackjack and Hookers' campaign, avert your eyes. You know who you are.

One of my players is a gestalt bladebound/ sword saint, who's taken order of the flame. I'd like to give some kind of power to his sword that further encourages an aggressive playstyle.

My first idea is lifesteal, but I noticed that the vampiric enchantment looks super lame and limited; I'd like to get rid of the HD caps on the weapon. I'm also considering making the heal strength dependent not on damage dealt but on how low the wielder's health is; so every hit landed restores, say, half of your missing health. The question is, how

Obviously, it's a joke/meme. But I'm writing a lighthearted-yet-informative essay on the fall of Constantinople, and I need some help. I'm leaving 'inside job' as subjectively defined as possible intentionally, because I'll take anything I can get.
Was it, to any extent, an "inside job"?
Could I, for rhetorical purposes, feasibly create a straw-man that thinks it was?
Any sources you can reccomend for further reading?
Something I asked unclear?
Thanks!

I'm playing as Spain, and grabbed an abundance of trade companies. I am the sole power in the cape of good hope node. Since there's only one place for the trade to go out and none of it is being retained since I'm not collecting, does this mean that I don't need a merchant there? I also don't need to have ships protect trade there, right?

I was just thinking about the various ways that Motorcycles could be put to a horse's work, just for the sake of imagination. Then I thought about Mongolians.
Now, I haven't fleshed out this idea much at all, which is kind of why I want y'all to be a part of the conception. What ideas pop into your head at this concept? What are the implications with this theoretical nation/army? Inspire me!

So far, I've come up with:
Long lives means slow reproduction, else population would be out of control.
Affinity for wine, what with the fermenting time.
Center of Philosophy?

Effectively, what I'm looking for should be able to translate to any long-lived species. Lets say that by long life I mean in the ballpark of 500-700 years.
