A slightly more serious take on the "fighting the Final Boss" than Spinal_Taper's ★Minimalist RTD★ (couldn't find the Masterwork symbol). It's fair to say that seriousness ended by the time the boss turned everyone into Magikarp. Join by posting a race, class, and inventory. I had too much stuff here for inventory, so you can get one artifact (a unique and very powerful magic item), two magic items of normal power, three normal items, and a backpack. Don't expect to wear two magical hats at once or something, but you might be able to loot some stuff off of somewhere...
That's all the rules I can think of. Have fun and good luck!
Oh, remember: You can try scrounging for items.
