Having to decide between security of supplies and amount of treasure to carry on one hand and travel speed (thus amount of random encounters) on the other hand is a key component of the exploration gameplay loop that does a good deal of the work to create tension.The easiest system I've found is this:Light load (20'): Items equal to StrMedium load (30'): Items equal to Str x2Heavy load (40'): Items equal to Stry x3Single items smaller than daggers don't count for encumbrance. Items that need two hands to carry count as 2 items or more. 100 coins are one item.(Mage spellcasting and most thief skills can only be done with light load but are unrestricted by armor.)</blockquote>
