Hi! Correct, you start with no Items. The starting Coins are enough to purchase a thing or two to get you going, though.
Keep in mind that the game abstracts i.e. doesn't track basic weapons Adventurers carry as these are the basic tools lf the trade. Only Magic Weapons are tracked.vvSo, by game rules, you do not list these as Items in your Inventory, but for narrative purposes, are always considered to carry a basic weapon.
