Also, take a look at the template Tag feature.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/#howto-custom-template-tags(scroll
down about half way).
It allows you to define a template (such as a dialog object) and call it
from another template, thereby inserting it where you want it. I think this
is the way to go for a django text adventure.
I'm also working on Django browser games and I'm glad to see others working
in this realm. Let me know when you need a beta tester and I'll be happy to
help.
