How to make Traveller more popular with TTRPG players

Another rule of thumb is to reality check against what people actually do. Nobody really knows what the weight of a backpack is without a scale, unless they are freakishly good at that one thing, or happen to know the weight of all the items in it. "Putting that apple in my pack will put me over a weight limit" is only heard at airport checkins, from people that have already maxed out and weighed their pack.

Since that's a deep concern of mine, it's half a kilogramme, for a decently strengthened lightish backpack.

Degree of cloth rigidity tends to add weight.

For Traveller, weight concerns for carryon will be mostly in terms of safety concerns, not fuel use, if they're placed in overhead bins.
