DND-5e-LaTeX-Template

> Creating a theme for tabletop role-playing games would take some elbow grease The article links to several, including a convincing reproduction of basic Wizards of the Coast house style for D&D 5E: https://github.com/rpgtex/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template Here's another 5E one with additional sidebar styles: https://github.com/anoderay/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template/ Also 5E-inspired, with a template for card accessories: https://github.com/Krozark/RPG-LaTeX-Template A 5E-compatible character sheet: https://github.com/matsavage/DND-5e-LaTeX-Character-Sheet-Te... CTAN also has packages for Basic D&D-inspired typesetting (rpg-module, also linked from the article), GURPS (gurps), generic hex boards (hexboard), and wargame hex boards with counters (wargame). There are also indie TTRPGs that've shipped using custom LaTeX templates; this one has CC-BY licensed

Sadly very light on the subject matter of the title, mostly just a very brief LaTeX introduction page. The interesting content is the outlinks in the intro, existing templates that mimic D&D, either old school 2e style[1] or modern 5e aesthetics[2].

And here's an Emacs org-mode compatibility layer to make writing your own D&D-style campaigns or handbooks even easier (if you grok Emacs): https://github.com/xeals/emacs-org-dnd Written around the same DND-5e-LaTeX-Template as the OP article: https://github.com/rpgtex/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template

Perhaps this submission is a bit off-topic, but I figured I'd let the voters decide that. I've recently found that the older I get, the more satisfaction I get from making stuff that isn't just software. A few months ago, I decided to take a week off and focus on writing down an idea I had for a D&D adventure (which I'd been taking notes on for the weeks prior). I did everything myself, from designing the adventure, writing it down, drawing maps to gathering art and handling layout (which lead to discovering some interesting bugs[1] and a PR[2] as well) Of course, this is still written in LaTeX, and yes, it's version controlled with git, and yes, I've actually read and understood al IP licenses I used for the project, but working in a different medium still gave me a lot of new energy.
