Good news! Amidst Matt Wilson’s thread on Galactic, Joshua Newman has come up with with Weight Encumberance rules for Under the Bed, a fantasy storygame about the adventures of childhood toys.
Encumbrance in UtB is easy: if you’re Strong, you can carry everything! If you’re Weak, you can’t carry anything! If you don’t have either, you can carry 1.6 kilos of soft materials, or 2.2 kilos if it’s rigid. These are referred to as the Weight Index for that type of material. If you’re not sure which category something falls into, hire someone to be a GM for the duration of the argument. Throwing those materials is .67(Wi)9.8m^2/abs(45°-(angle thrown)). Your toy can deadlift 2.6Wi. If throwing a gun at Superman, he will inexplicably duck even though the bullets didn’t hurt him. If throwing a javelin (or javelin-like device, such as a gearshift), the distance is multiplied by 1.1. If you’ve converted UtB to GURPS, remember that 1 kilo is 2.2 pounds and 1 meter is 3 feet, 3.13 inches. Degrees remain the same. A hogshead is equal to 63 Imperial gallons Imperial, or 75.66 gallons US. When firing through more than 1.8 hogsheads of water (or similar liquids with a Viscosity Index of 1 — see card 37 for a table of Viscosity Indexes), the projectile will are you still reading this what’s wrong with you. Ricochet is negligible, multiplying its Damage Rating by .42 and multiplying its range by .995.
