The Effects of Gravity on Mausritter

Today on bluesky I saw a post regarding adjusting Classic Traveler inventory to local gravity, and it got me wondering…

How annoying I can make the Mausritter inventory system?


Let’s begin with the assumption that the exact number of Mausritter inventory slots reflect how much weight a healthy mouse can carry on Earth: 10 item slots, divided into 🫲 held items, 🎩/👔 worn items, and 🎒packed items.

🧑‍🚀 MERCURY: has 37.8% of Earth’s gravity, or 26 inventory slots. (1,000/37.8=26.455)

🧑‍🚀 VENUS: has 90.7% of Earth’s gravity, or 11 inventory slots. (1,000/90.7=11.0254)

🧑‍🚀 EARTH: has 100% of Earth’s gravity, or 10 inventory slots. (1,000/100=10)

🧑‍🚀 PLUTO: has 7.1% of Earth’s gravity, or 141 inventory slots. (1,000/7.1=140.845)

🚀 G-FORCE: Atmospheric reentry can put a lot of gravitational force on a body. For the sake of game design, I’m going to say between 3g-8g. Be mindful of what conditions your mouse has before attempting.

D6 +2
8g 1 inventory slot
7g 1 inventory slot
6g 2 inventory slots
5g 2 inventory slots
4g 3 inventory slots
3g 3 inventory slots

1,000/800=1.25
1,000/700=1.429
1,000/600=1.667
1,000/500=2
1,000/400=2.5
1,000/300=3.333



💪 STR: Mausritter uses a roll under system, so I don’t believe your strength stat would actually change. If there is less gravity, just expand your idea of what is possible—or if there is more gravity, expand your idea of what is impossible—then let the dice decide.
