You know, it might be good if they mixed those two ideas. It just seems to be punishing to players that have tried to plan ahead as best they can, which is already difficult given how random the dungeons are.

I think it would be a good idea to either let players carry over provisions between dungeons or at least let them sell them at the end of their quest (even if it was for a ridiculously reduced price).

That's a really great idea, although I'm not sure whether that might cause some balance issues. Maybe the Gravedigger brings a shovel, the Crusader brings a thing of Holy Water, the Highway Man a Skeleton Key, that sort of thing.

I'd kind of like it if each class brought an automatic provision along with them. There's a slight logic issue of why I have to throw away a shovel and torches (I get that food spoils), but it feels like that fits into the 'plan carefully' idea of an expedition. I'm not sure I mind that I don't keep provisions, but a line to that effect on the embark screen would be good.
