1: Deleting Characters - go to - edge of town/utilities/inspect/delete
2: Create Characters - go to - edge of town/create new character
3: Save Game - game is saved automatically. Best to go to edge of town and use Leave Game option or be in the Maze and use Utilities option to Restart characters inside the maze. When you resume the game after leaving the characters in town, they will need to be re-added as a party in Gilgamesh's Tavern. If the game is not ended in a "stable" manner it may not save some of your progress.
4: Deadliness - This is exactly the same as the original game from what I can see. It is basically a Rogue Like. Expect to die a lot.

most of my characters are dead and I want to delete them from the roster, but there is no way to do that; any suggestions?

I am able to run the game in my browser, but see no way to create characters. How does one do that?

On a browser, where does the "save" file reside? I re-opened my browser today and have no save game. Thinking a cache file or something?

I don't remember the original game being this deadly. I lose characters faster than I can create them. Fuck this stupidshit verison.

OK,
I'm on a mac and trying to play online. I created a character but couldn't press the key when done assigning stat points because all it does is take me out of the full-screen view.
I saw that somebody else suggested hitting instead of . It didn't work. Then I saw that somebody else said that they had to quit the game and make sure that caps lock was off and then they could press when needed. I guess this was on a dos box version of the game.
On a whim instead of hitting , I turned my caps lock on and hit it again and it worked. So and not worked for me. Somebody else asked how to create a scenario disk. I didn't bother and just hit enter when prompted It worked.
Not sure yet about saving a game.
Cheers,
Namidar

You guys should make a wizardry cell phone app. The only thing for cell phones is something called wandroid and it is super lame. Tons of fans there would love to have wizardry at their fingertips especially if you can save your progress.

I just ran into the same issue with character creation using DOSBox on Windows 10. It turns out that if you have caps lock on, the ESC key won't work. Close out of DOSBox, turn caps lock off, and then relaunch the game. It worked for me after than.
Oops 2018-06-05
Character creation is impossible since pressing Esc does nothing but return a blip sound. Pressing 'C' as suggested by another comment results in the same thing. This occurs whether you're playing it in your browser or running it on your computer through DosBox. Unfortunate.

Rather than hit esc in character creation, hit "c" and you won't lose your character.

How do you create a scenario disk? I'm following the command to create one and say I have two disk drives (I have none) and it just says it failed to format the disk. This is all form within my browser (firefox).

Using FF in Win10, could not get escape key to allow me to finish character creation *sob*
