i was listening to the reckless dice podcast episode 19 and there was discussion about the rule for encumbrance.

a while ago i created cards tailored for each of my players characters.

the idea is that the card is in a sleeve and as their encumbrance rises and falls they strike through the white box. once encumbered they can see the effect of additional encumbrance.

the image below show a strength 3 characters card.

That is a great idea!

I really like this layout, nice and clean. I'm sure I'll be making a similar game aide for my players in the near future.

Oh I like this! Great idea. Now we just need a version that is usable by any other player.

Nicely done.

i initially thought about creating generic ones for each strength from 2 to 6, but dwarfs and horses up the combinations, so i decided to just create ones for my players. i probably should have left the title of the card something generic like strength 3 encumbrance. they are quite fiddly to make as i'm no graphic designer and the strange eons tool couldn't do what i wanted it to do.

Maybe you could integrate the core idea into your genius char sheet?

At least the 3 boxes with the black dice would be awesome.

i went back with the intention of making a generic one for STR 2 through 6, then 2 through 6 for dwarfs, but abandoned it when i remembered the rule that adds an additional 1 encumbrance for each fortune dice associated to strength. the permutations are too great.
