Firstly, you can't nest a template inside a template. Before your first macro runs, the #MajorPowers macro links are expanded to the actual contents, So what you've actually written is this: /w gm &{template:simple} {{rname=Powers Lotto}} {{?{Choose One|Major Power, &{template:default} {{name=Major Powers Roll}} {{ ?{Powers |Major Def, [[1t[MajDef]]]|Major Off, [[1t[MajOff]]]|} }}|Minor Power,&{template:default} {{name=Minor Powers Roll}} {{ ?{Powers |Minor Def, [[1t[MinDef]]]|Minor Off, [[1t[MinOff]]]|} }}} }} Which (no offence) is an unholy tangle of conflicting templates and Query characters. If you need this to be modular (i.e. you will be adding more options later, on top of Major and Minor) then I would strongly suggest a Chat Menu i nstead. If this is all the content that you're going to have, I would get rid of the nesting and just make a single macro with 4 drop-down options. /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Powers Lotto}} {{[[1t[?{Choose one| Major Def,MajDef| Major Off,MajOff| Minor Def,MinDef| Minor Off,MinOff}]]]}}
