I was a KS backer for Torchbearer 2e. I think it does a lot of cool stuff really well, but I'm not like a diehard fan. I played once as a player with a really good GM who I mostly credit for my enjoyment.

But what I fucking LOVED was the INVENTORY MANAGEMENT. I don't like tracking coins, I want more than 10 slots, and I want it to matter where on my body I've put stuff. Torchbearer inventory management always made my brain light up like I was playing Tetris.

So, says I, why not port it to B/X, the game I actually play?

And so I did. I am not a professional graphic designer, this sheet is a very "graphic design is my passion" sort of thing, but the inventory works. Obviously, Torchbearer inventory requires some additional rules. They are:

  • Most items occupy 1 slot.
  • Particularly large items occupy 2 slots (two-handed weapons, lanterns, tents, spellbooks, etc.)
  • Particularly small items can be stacked 3 to 1 slot (rations, torches, flasks of oil, small sacks, etc.)
  • 200 coins can be stacked in a single slot; your first 200 are free and could go in "Small Items".
  • The container is for liquids. It is probably water but could be wine, ale, whisky, poison, etc. It carries 2 uses of the liquid (tracked with the "Full?" box).
  • A backpack occupies 2 torso slots and grants access to all 6 pack slots. A satchel occupies 1 and grants access to only 3.
  • All armor occupies 1 torso slot, except plate armor which occupies 2 torso slots. Clothing occupies none.
  • Anything on your belt is instantly accessible if your hands aren't occupied. I love watching players pack their pouch slot with pocket sand.
  • A large sack takes up 1 slot in a pack when empty, and 2 carried slots when full. Dropping the sack and readying a weapon takes a round.
  • Mules can carry 2 sidebags equivalent to large sacks. Draft horses can carry 3.
  • You can create caches! Large or small sacks will work. Use your judgement for what can fit in the hidey holes; if they are bad at hiding them, have monsters/animals/bad guys get to them instead.
