Of all the role-playing game books I have read, the

only one I have truly enjoyed is 16-and-a-Half Magical

Codpieces . Seriously. Most books are written very badly,

have terrible balance issues, or are simply published by idiots

who claim to be “veterans” of the industry when in fact they

are simply referring to the fact that they have been kicked

out of every gaming group in a 100 mile radius. Never the

less, this is not about them – this is really about me. I’m

e’ Le (pronounced Tay Lee), and I am here to talk about

16-and-a-Half Magical Codpiece s, not idiot publishers

who are jealous of my talents (and good looks). No no, this

is about Dog Soul Publishing and their fantastic book, 16-

and-a-Half Magical Codpieces .

to write this intro, so I am inclined to sing the praises of

this book (my singing -- another talent other publishers

are jealous of ). en there’s my hair -- damn I’m hot . In any

case, enjoy 16-and-a-Half Magical Codpieces -- it is truly

a campaign shattering book (in a good way). It’s not as good

as my own book, <ShamelessPlug>Unorthodox Paladins</

ShamelessPlug>, but it’s still pretty damn good.

If you get the chance, please take the time to view

Dog Soul’s fantastic books on the web at http://www.dogsoul.

Actually, I haven’t read this book yet. I don’t think

I’ve read any role-playing game books for more than a few

minute (unless you count looking at the pretty pictures), so

I won’t be starting now. Dog Soul paid me a lot of money

When the magic merchant Balthazar ﬁ rst

experienced marital trouble, he turned to his arcane contacts

to resolve the issue between him and his wife. e fruit of

their labor, Balthazar’s bizarre bag is a cloth sack designed to

inspire bliss in its wearer, who can be of either gender. Calling

it the ﬁ rst unisex codpiece, Balthazar described its use to his

wife: A man wears the bag over his loins, while a woman

actually reverses the stretchy fabric and slips it over her head.

ough somewhat put oﬀ , his wife agreed that because the

garment aﬀ ects the mind, it should be worn in the area that

has the greatest control over its wearer’s actions. When a

man or woman wears a bizarre bag correctly, it bestows a

+1 morale bonus on skill checks, ability checks, and

saves.

Against targeted creatures, the bag has an equal chance of
