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:

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.

What do people use to make their own campaigns?
You can also just use whatever though. Make a Google Doc, they share pretty well. Use Word (with some decent formatting) and convert to PDF for distribution. Use LaTeX - I think there are a few 5e or general RPG templates / packages (searching turned up https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/d-and-d-5e-latex-template/vmfdkjfhfynv and https://github.com/Krozark/RPG-LaTeX-Template for example).
