This template replicates the style of an AD&D 1e 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 dont 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...
}}
Example
A dark room
You find yourselves in a dimly lit chamber, the air thick with the scent of damp stone.
Notes:
A secret passage is hidden behind a loose stone in the western wall.
