LaTeX for publishing tabletop role-playing games
> 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:

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
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.

Pandoc
You can inline LaTeX chapter/section break commands even when processing Markdown, and in several ways (dropping \newpage directly in the content before chapters, using header templates, as YAML metadata in the Markdown file, even on the command line).
Google has many examples; one's here using a header file: https://medium.com/@sydasif78/book-creation-with-pandoc-and-...
More are here, including an example using the header-includes YAML metadata param: https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template/issues...

Tell HN: Modern Is Not Better
Really? Should work with any OpenType font. Are you generating in a language that doesn't use roman-ish alphabet? You're not wrong that working with TeX can involve a lot of yak shaving in general. Sometimes finding the right template can solve a lot of problems. I use Eisvogel. https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template

PM wants something that "looks better than a Word doc"
If you really want to go that route, take a look at pandoc and ping me if you have questions. Pandoc in combination with the Eisvogel LaTeX template can be a quick way to get a really good-looking doc.

Good templates for college assignments?

Exporting notes as academic thesis & papers!
I looked for pandoc templates, and found "eisvogel" (https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template) although I still did not like how it rendered as I wanted it to look like a dissertation.
