This template replicates the style of a 5th Edition D&D adventure module, with separate sections for dialogue and notes.

Usage

Include just once at the top of the page the following two lines:
{{Special:Whatlinkshere/{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}
[[Category:CAMPAIGN NAME]]

* Note that if you don't you'll see the what links here repeated for every {{Location}} instead of just once for the page as desired.

From this point forward simply use the {{Location}} template with the parameters identified below for each portion of text you want to read aloud.

{{Location
| name = Location Name
| dialog = Description to be read to players...
| notes = Notes for the Dungeon Master...
}}

<templatedata> {

   "params": {
       "name": {
           "label": "Location Name",
           "type": "string",
           "description": "The name of the location.",
           "required": false
       },
       "dialog": {
           "label": "Dialog",
           "type": "string",
           "description": "The description to be read to the players.",
           "required": true
       },
       "notes": {
           "label": "Notes",
           "type": "string",
           "description": "Notes for the Dungeon Master.",
           "required": false
       }
   },
   "description": "Template to replicate the style of a 5th Edition D&D adventure module, with separate sections for dialogue and notes, including an optional location name."

} </templatedata>
