DND-5e-LaTeX-Template VS masterplan

> 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:

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.

Started using LateX for academic papers, back in 2002, nowadays I use Latex for almost everything, for my work as a professor - which includes papers I submit and teaching materials I write - but also for formal letters, contracts and even games - see for example D&D 5e Latex. Latex is used for tons and applications in different fields, and its vast library is a small sample of that.

Use Overleaf, once you know Latex you can create easily a decent write up, especially when you use DND-5e-LaTeX-Template as a basis.

if you have a techy background, TeX is always an option whih produces gorgious output and there are various templates available, e.g. this dnd template.

Dark Latex D&D5e Template

You can find the template here: github, or here for Overleaf. Good luck!

While I personally use it for typesetting my RPG books, and it is very commonly used among the RPG sphere's I'm in.

There is a specific template originally used or intended for Dungeons and Dragons called the DND-5e-LaTeX-Template or directly from Overleaf as a downloadable Template

For those who interested: https://github.com/rpgtex/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template

It's still up on github. Download the .msi, ignore the warnings that pop up during installation, and you're good to go.

I recommend downloading masterplan and adding all the 4e bestiary libraries. Master plan has a great encounter builder. You can drag and drop creatures and hazards directly into a combat encounter with a bar that fills up representing the difficulty of the encounter.

Sure thing. You can start here on the 4e discord. You can ask around for help, or look through the various pins to find links to the foundry modules and applications. To make power cards I believe the module you want is Wigmeister2000's 4e Compendium. It will have every power and feat preloaded in a compendium that you can drag and drop onto your character sheets within foundry. For monsters, you will need an app called Masterplan which is used for building encounters, skill challenges, and various other DM related work. You will then need Dracs 4e tools to import your masterplan encounter, with complete monster sheets, directly to foundry. I believe Dracs 4e tools also come with macros for adjusting monster stats to fit MM3 calculations.

It looks like it's been revived in Visual Studio on github.
