Use it all you want.As for load, it usually is something I just ignore until story relevant (ex: players must move statuary, to do so means slowed or they have to drop gear) but I know my players equipment and stats because all their character sheets are in Google docs for me to look at.  Two of my player I know will keep track of that, as well, and another  one is Str based and equipment light, so I would only have to track two of them if I suspect they are loading up on heavy loot.I did have one player, though, who hauled around a metal bust (statue of a head and chest) weighing 250 lbs for four levels because he was certain it had value if he could find the right buyer. I kept track of his encumbrance because he, out of character, was choosing to be foolish. :banghead:I will throw out a warning, DM to DM. If you are doing most all the work, burnout is probable. The players should be able to handle everything involved with their character. They only have to figure how to be one person each. You have to be the rest of the universe.If they don't like writing on their character sheets, you could laminate the sheets or put them in sheet protectors and mark on that with grease pencils or wet erase marker. You could even hold their sheets for them with your stuff, which makes it easier to play that person's character in the case where they can't make it.Basically, don't take everything on yourself. You will be doing neither them, nor yourself a service.  If you use the sheet, in fact, assign one of them to track it for you and reward whoever does it with something like a bonus action point.Any way you do it, report back to us and let us know how it goes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2</blockquote>
