Volume 8 in the Loot for Less series deals with low-level magic belts, girdles, buckles, and similar associated items. The buckles, incidentally, don't 'stack' with belts; you can no more use both a magic buckle and a magic belt than you can wear two magic rings on the same hand. That's obviously sensible, while the fact that magic buckles exist at all gives a great variety to what might otherwise be just a list of girdles.

There's 18 different items here, which is quite a few, and they're all well described and thought out. Many are defensive in nature, or more limited versions of girdles of strength, but as always in this series, there's a wide range of different powers that would be useful to many different low-level characters.

For the relatively low price, this is a good offering in the series.

If you're looking for a way to hold up your pants, Otherworld Creations have put forth 18 ideas. All of the are magical, and as the name proclaims, all of them are fairly inexpensive in game, topping out at a maximum of 2,500 GP per item.

I can certainly see how these belts would add a lot of spice and variety to your lower level campaigns. There's nothing amazingly breathtaking about the belts themselves but your characters should get a kick out of finding useful magical items at lower levels.

OC have included a "Behind the Counter" feature where they explain their rational behind certain items, which I find interesting.

All in all this is a good expansion. Weighing in at 8 pages and 18 items for under $3 (at the time of this writing) it's not too bad a deal.
