Come on, don't make me feel useless...

Yup.
Do I start with any supplies of metal or have to gather them all from the beginning?

And what supplies do I begin with?

Let's say you start with a year's worth of minerals, plus or minus a year's worth of standard trade.

Yea like your heavily armored army that has no access to metal or smiths unless you can find something to trade for it .
So your entire armed force will be out classed by every person who has mines unless somebody should choose to give you better equipment .

Of course, if the knightly orders actually have royal support, they'll probably have enough gear.

mesor, where do your peasants farm? And are none of the knights married, or do they just leave their family behind in the villages they hailed from?

Yak hair (et al.) can only be spun into thread, not woven into cloth.  It can be used for sutures, but nothing else.

Shorn wool is different, and the topic at hand. I also doubt the general content of this statement.

I recently started to (successfully) use adventurer mode, and now I'm wondering what sort of stuff you can do to have the two modes interact?

You have to end one game to start another, so not a lot directly.

With my adventurer I found lots of "exotic" materials like human/elf/dwarf meat, bones, bone meals... hundreds of cut gems... thousands of coins from different civs... can I drop these in a fortress and use them to craft stuff?

Yes.

can I build a hide-out in fortress mode to use as a base for adventurers?

As much as you can use anything as a base. The biggest difference is the lack of living inhabitants. Adventurers can also loot old fortresses.

that sort of stuff...

Well, in some circumstances (specifically, a dwarven adventurer retires in a Mountainhome), you might get an old adventurer as a migrant. Deeds done in one mode might appear on images in the other...I'm not sure about any other interactions, though.

Unused?

Overall, makes sense for when Toady gets to interface improvements.

Literally troll the files.
Make trees at embark turn into trolls. (And any trees that grow turn into them.)
Make every 50th stone dropped turn into a troll.
Make trolls invincible.
And so on.

None of those are possible. You can, however, make dwarves randomly turn into [CRAZED] trolls.

Mod dwarven children into trolls. Don't know if you can specifically choose newborn babies, but having trolls come out of the dwarves would be a fun shock.

Unless normal dwarves were also trolls, not possible.

Lowering dwarven speed to 1000-1500 would be nice and subtle. They'd wonder why their FPS was so low...

One would think that noobs aren't prepared for HFS.
I think that's the cause, demons must be disabled there. (Though really I don't get why there are FBs in that case)

Because you can't remove FBs, even with advanced worldgen parameters. Unless you removed caverns.

I have a feeling you should fear them.

That rhyme's been said GWG, we wouldn't want to wear them down eh?

Not in the pyramid!
