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.

Code to Copy[edit source]

{{Location

| name   = 
| dialog = 
| notes  = 
}}

<templatedata> {

   "params": {
       "name": {
           "label": "Location Name",
