Weight Per Cubic Foot And Specific Gravity

This is a bit of “Real World” information that could be useful to a game master. It’s a list of various materials, and their weight and specific gravity per cubic foot. One of the most obvious uses would be for the calculation of the weight of cargo, or inversely the cargo space need to transport a given weight of cargo.

Another use would be to calculate just how much that pillar of _____ falling on that Gnome weighs anyhow. Squish. Oh, guess it really didn’t matter...!
