Template:NewEpisode/doc

This template is used to create a wiki page for a new episode of the podcast. A few places in the template have hard coded information that can be changed for future campaigns.

This page documents conventions used when filling in this template. More information coming.

Featured Characters
All names listed in this section should be linked, even if there isn't yet a page for them.

Main Player characters
This section contains only the current main player characters in the game.
 * If this is the first time this character has appeared, include the notation (first appearance) behind their name, and describe them in a few words.

Guest Player characters (Optional)
Can be added if a guest player character appears for certain episodes. Guest player characters should always appear under this heading, no matter how many times they have appeared.
 * If this is the first time this character has appeared, include the notation (first appearance) behind their name, and describe them in a few words.

Returning
This section is for non-player characters appearing in the episode who do not belong in the New section.
 * Do not include a description of the character in this section, unless there is no associated character page.
 * If this is the first time a character appears (i.e. they first appeared in the "New" section when they were mentioned only) include the notation (first appearance) behind their name.

New
This section is for non-player characters who have neither appeared nor been mentioned in any previous episode. This applies even if they are only mentioned in this episode.
 * Characters in this section may be described in a few words following the name (e.g. Finley, a hedge mage).
 * If this section is completed before the transcript is released, include the notation (sp) behind the name to indicate that the spelling needs to be confirmed (e.g. Yorin (sp) -> Eoighorain).
 * Significant new characters that are described but not named can be included with a descriptive moniker, along with a notation (?) behind the name to indicate that their name is not yet known (e.g. Spirit Lord of the Sea (?) -> Naram the Wave Lord).
 * If the new character was only mentioned, include the notation (mentioned only) behind the name (e.g. Will Gallows (mentioned only)).

Mentioned
This section is for non-player characters mentioned in the episode (but not appearing) who do not belong in the New section.
 * In this section, it is not necessary to include the notation (mentioned only).
 * Do not include a description of the character in this section, unless there is no associated character page.
