Encumbrance, I-15; Annotated

Page 15

Here appears the encumbrance system for OD&D. While it has been deemed confusing and unusable by many, we never had a problem with this rule. Weight limits are based around troop movement rates, with weight limits listed in coins (10 coins = 1 pound). Assuming 80 coins or 8 pounds of miscellaneous equipment as stated in the rules is an easy way to ease use of the encumbrance system. This make it necessary only to track the added weight of any items, typically treasure and gold pieces, players pick up during their adventure session. A nice, compact system.
