I like using a stone-weight system, in which 1k coins = 1 stone. 10k GP value in gems = 1 stone. Ignore remainders (so 1,300 GP weighs 1 stone). It's pretty easy to count up the thousands place of your money and see how much it weighs.

We've been weighing things up and coming up with a rough sizing chart that is easy to use for encumbrance. Gems are something I was recently working on.R.J.

And in GURPS Magic, for that matter, for powerstone sizes. But yeah, if you have a 100 gems weight might actually start to matter. ;)Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-5456021800336275302012-11-07T10:52:20.198-05:002012-11-07T10:52:20.198-05:00Ages ago, when I DM'd, I didn't worry abou...Ages ago, when I DM'd, I didn't worry about the weight of Gems. I guess it would matter if a player had accumulated so many that it was logically an encumbrance issue but damn, that is a lot of loot!
