    The article links to several, including a convincing reproduction of basic Wizards of the Coast house style for D&D 5E:

    Here's another 5E one with additional sidebar styles:

    Also 5E-inspired, with a template for card accessories:

    A 5E-compatible character sheet:

    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 source: https://github.com/ludus-leonis/nipajin

    And the blog author's own, with a more restrictive CC-NC-SA license: https://github.com/Vladar4/itdr

    From personal experience, the biggest struggle is non-rectangular text wrapping around images.

  • DnD Character Sheet Template
    2 projects | /r/LaTeX | 16 Apr 2021
    I am currently searching for a working Dungeons and Dragons character sheet template that I can copy over to my overleaf account. The template should also be similar to the default dnd character sheet that everyone can download as a pdf. As of now, some dnd templates exist such as first example, which is for story writing and monster stat blocks. Second example actually should in theory exactly do what I need, but the code is not working.
