I once bought 2cm thick hemp rope for reenactment purposes (can't recommend, it's worse than nylon and costs more and maintaining it sucks).

I don't have any spare, but I chucked some on a scale, and it seems to be about 250 grams per meter, for about 8.5lbs per 50ft.

So D&D rope is even thicker, or its tarred (which you absolutely should do if you dislike drying rope).

Oh come on everyone loves maintaining their ropes, it's a classic hobby. Wake up, churn your butter, maintain your rope, then it's time to roast some chicory for your morning coffee.

Boo, that stuff's so boring. When are we going to tan some leather?

My cats agree with you. Having musty, wet hemp ropes laying around is apparently the best thing ever.
