Template:Location
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.
