In my mind, resource management and careful tracking of encumbrance are important features of Oldschool D&D. However, Basic's coin weight system is a poor way to track encumbrance for all but the most mathematical of players. To keep encumbrance in the game, but simplify it enough for people who have been drinking, I adapted (ported almost exactly) James Raggi's LOTFP encumbrance point system. It reminds me of "Diablo" style encumbrance, where inventory is a matter of slots. What I think works the best about this system is that players can simply add found items to their list as you go along, simultaneously tracking encumbrance. Well done, James. I have included the document version I made for players. Enjoy!
