Encumbrance
In Gateway Knights, the game is written with the view that encumbrance isn’t really very fun or
interesting. The moments when it is, this is because of the fiction and the narrative, it becomes an
interesting momentary obstacle to overcome or puzzle to solve. If you are the type of group or
player that enjoys calculating and tracking this sort of thing, that’s absolutely great, its just really
not the focus of this game.

It’s normally pretty obvious when something is silly or feels wrong, like the character that wants to
constantly carry around 4 two-handed heavy weapons and 50 grenades. We all know them and most
of us have been that character at least once. For this reason the game just trusts it’s players and GM
to be reasonable and do what suits them and their needs in their game. Frankly, if your group is
happy with it’s characters carrying around most of their homes (including the bath and the kitchen
sink) with them all the time, go for it.
