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.
