When we die, which for me at least is quite often... would it be possible for the game to automatically go back to the main menu, so we can quickly fire up another character, instead of the program closing completely?
Totally agreed! Especially for people like me that tend to close all their folders when playing, so that I have to look up the folder containing JADOM to play again.
This would be nice, but I have a feeling it's only a problem now. The average character life expectancy is only so low because of a lack of viable tactics; once ranged and magic attacks are implemented, it will probably sort itself out.

In a recent conversation, Thomas said at some point this will probably happen. Currently, however, there are more pressing concerns and for the amount of work required he's chosen to wait on this feature.
