Weighing in
The next time I see another unamaginative D&D clone slap lb values on items because it mistakenly believes you need to have encumbrance rules in your ttrpg, I’m immediately closing that book. Pounds are by far one of the worst way you can possibly do weight, even if you needed it in the first place, and that’s already a very dubious proposition.
(There’s a huge caveat to the above statement, but the caveat is the entire rest of this article so I can’t sum it up here.)
