It's going to be hard to come even remotely close to the LoTR trilogy, but I wouldn't outright dismiss it juuuust yet.

Maybe it could end up occupying a space between LoTR and The Hobbit, even?

I see. I'd bet that JSON serialization + e.g. zstd compression should do the trick nicely. (Circular references in data structures can be tricky tho, but I'm guessing there's some way to handle that.)

pval

This may be a stupid question, but what does the 'p' in pval actually stand for? Does it stand for anything?

(I have my own guess, but it's just a guess and I'd like to avoid biasing replies.)
