[Tutor] Best way to save a D&D-like game's state?

[Leam Hall]

Yup, you learn and get useful stuff with every few keystrokes.

Something else to consider; start with CSV and move to JSON if you need complexity. If the structure fits in CSV then it will likely fit in SQLite, when you need a database. If the fluid structure of JSON works better, I'll point out that the internal datastore language for MongoDB looks a lot like JSON.  ;)
