If you want to try out the improvements to adventure mode, I'd recommend generating a new world with at least 100 years of history.  I tried out adventuring in a world from 0.31.03, and it technically worked, but there wasn't much to do.  The reason I recommend some history is just to let the beasts get settled a bit, though it's not strictly required.  We haven't gotten threats moving around and arising during actual play yet, so your worlds will inevitably run out of adventure opportunities as you exhaust them, and games tend to be fast-paced and brief overall once you get the hang of it.  This will change during the next few major releases.  There's an update to the "Your First Adventurer" manual section that might be worth glancing at even if you have played an adventurer before.  Don't be surprised if you die learning a few facts about the world.

The header says that the new release is 31.16 somehow although the date is the right.

edit: Nevermind. All Hail to the dynamic duo!

WARNING EVERYBODY Night creatures are hard. I was literally ripped apart by one without getting a strike in edgewise.

So it is working that much at least, he he he.  I'm going to be gone for some hours, since I haven't slept for a long time or much at all the last four days.  I hope it works well enough that you can enjoy it for a while.

Toady, I'm still downloading the .tar.bz2 but I think I can say already with complete confidence that you have truly exceeded all expectations with this update.  It's bigger from a gameplay perspective than the 40d -> DF2010 transition.

LOVING adventure mode. Got a quest to kill a goblin bowman immediately, found him using the cool new map tools. Is there a "go to location" button I'm missing? I had to walk there normally, using the map as a guide, still cool and functional. Also, when I get my weapon lodged in a dude, I select "I" then my weapon then gain possession, cool. Is there a way to twist it in the wound or some other maneuver for a lodged weapon? If so I would love to know how!

All glory to the ToadyOne!
