Unless you're autistic, which you are, that shit never matters.

what if I have 9 players and I can't track how much shit everyone is carrying, so bullshit like rogues with 4 greatswords and a platemail in their backpack crawling trough very tight spaces happens in my games, when I want it to be a considered factor?

>>50731595
Way too many slots.
No one is going to carry that many different items in a realistic setting unless you count every single marble individually. In an unrealistic setting, who cares?

You can do it quite simply:
Have the players describe how they are carrying it. If they can't tell you where it fits on their body or in their backpack, they can't carry it.
If they are trying to use their hand to open a door but you know they are already holding their shield in that hand, you can softly remind them.

fair point, but the problem of 9 players still comes up. Trust me, a GM is far less involved on the individual level when there are so many players, and bullshittery will come up eventually about the shit they carry. I wouldn't be making this if it was a matter of two or three players.

In nay case, I will try this out on the next session, and see how it works. If it's shit I'll dump it.

Then kick out the problem players dipshit. Avoiding platemail and infinite inventories is as easy as saying "let me see your character sheet" at the start of each session. If they hide their sheet that means they're cheating.

It's more about keeping track of their shit during the game that's the problem, from the loot they get.

>>50732121
So how would you solve it?
>Oh you picked up one pound over your max inventory? I'll just remove items until you're back at standard, starting with the most valuable first. These items disappear.

>>50732121
Changing the inventory layout won't change shit. Cheaters will cheat regardless if there is a specific inventory slot for magic toenails or not. Who is gonna stop them from throwing a bastard sword in their pocket slot and hiding their sheet from view?

it's not a matter of cheaters, but more about inexperienced players and the new generation of players thinking of inventory in abstracts from too many videogames.

I'd have them take fatigue damage fairly quickly as they did things, being over the max limmit, until they fell from exhaustion.
