When you select "Human: Play now!" under adventure mode, is it supposed to start you out bare-ass naked in front of a demon-infested abandoned fort?  It'd be nice if you could maybe pick a weapon specialty and start with some basic gear, at least.

That's what Play Now! seems to be for.   Otherwise, you'd choose a civilization.

Play Now! is eventually going to be replaced with a scenario system. But at the moment, yeah, it's pretty useless.

If you plan ahead, you can have a TON of gear in Play Now mode.  Just start a small fortress and play until you have some silver, churn out some gold, and leave it outdoors for your adventurer to later collect without a fight.  Or, have everyone get good at weaponcrafting, and try to get lucky and produce an artifact weapon.  Who cares about initial weapon skills when your sword can cut the head off of a dragon in one swipe?

I just thought it might make sense as a cheap/quick fix to give the character some sort of basic equipment when starting; make it a default human swordsman or something, rather than random naked guy.  Easy to do and makes 'play now' a little more interesting and a little less (immediately) suicidal.

The People of Tal Uso take great offense at that, and will procede to fire breath you.

Hey, PNB, a question. Do you have mention anything other than the fact you Gamesharked dragons in place of dwarves anymore? I'm sorry to be rude, but that seems to make up most of your posts these days.
