With one of those, I guess no one could say you didn't have the "balls" to roll your dice....

The description kills me:

Kangaroo scrotum pouches are made from the scrotum of male kangaroo, and it's said to be very lucky; all those in possession of one is assured of a long life, happiness and healthy children.

Kangaroo scrotum pouches are unusual sentimental little gifts. Due to its uniqueness they are remembered for a long time.

It's a practical little thing to store jewelry, a cute bag for coins or small items. In Gold Rush time it was a popular bag to store the gold sand.

Scrotum pouch is a great sign to attract an opposite gender. Just place it on your car mirror

These attract the opposite gender?

I just can't see guys or gals seeing these things and saying, "Oh wow! A kangaroo scrotum pouch! What a sexy guy/gal! I want to meet them NOW!"

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

I'm more intrigued by this line:

Kangaroo scrotum pouches are made from the scrotum of male kangaroo, and it's said to be very lucky; all those in possession of one is assured of a long life, happiness and healthy children.

Can't be very lucky, or the kangaroo would still have it. :lol:

"Hands off my scrotum" at the game table takes on an entirely new meaning....

Ok, so maybe that issue only RARELY pops up at my table, still.....

I wonder what the foreman would say at the factory that makes them:

"Have you met your quota of scrota?"

I knew LARPers were weird:

It looks like more of a party game rather than a true RPG . . . I hope.

Good grief - I had to google this one. Not a lot of info out there, but a review from rpg.net...

Unbelieveable. Prawns. So many things that are 'wrong' with this. I wonder if there is a deluxe version that supplies human-size prawn suits?

Says that the large kangaroo scrotums are rare. I would have thought, given the size of a kangaroo, that there would be plenty to fit into this catagory. Perhaps they shrink up a bit after the beast has died or in the curing process?

15 or more players

Assuming the relative size of your typical gamer, that better be one freaking large ass pool!

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!
