LaTEX template for an RPG book
I wrote a LaTeX class and layout once to recreate the look-and-feel of SR5 rulebooks, for homebrew stuff (and just as a TeX challenge to myself). It was a hell of a lot of work and I had to dirty hack several underlying TeX placement rules and aspects. Though to be fair, most of that was because of the distinct "challenge" of recreating an already existing style as closely as possible. So if you're more free in how you want it to look, it's probably a lot easier to achieve. Still, you're a lot less free in where you want to place things compared to a WYSIWYG layout program.

LaTEX template for an RPG book
I made some supplements for the TTRPG Monster of the Week; this is the template I created. Here are the finished products. The style is designed to mimic the original MotW books, so it's not directly useful for a Shadowrun-type game. But maybe it can give you some ideas.

Getting A Head - my bi-weekly
The previous (bi-)weekly mystery was Kindergarten Cult, and all my mysteries so far can be found on my google drive. The LaTeX template I use is also available on github.

Kindergarten Cult - my bi-weekly
Last (bi)week's mystery was Nyctophobia, and like this mystery it was made with my free template. You can find all the past mysteries I've put out on my Google drive.

Thank You for Shopping - A whimsical phenomenon-based horror mystery
Last Week's mystery was The Bone Collector. As usual, they've been made with my LaTeX template using only open-source tools, which you can use too.

The Bone Collector (my third weekly mystery)
As usual, it was made with my free LaTeX template that you can use to format your own mysteries using open-source tools.

Elvis Has Entered the Building - I'm up to a Fortnight of Monsters now.
Elvis Has Entered the Building is my second mystery for Monsters of the Week, and while that's a long way from a Year of Monsters, as the name of my free LaTeX template for formatting your own mysteries hints at, it's a solid start. And speaking of that template, it's what I used to make this mystery. It's also free and uses only free software.

A LaTeX template for formatting mysteries like the book, an example mystery, and hopefully more
You can get the template here, along with instructions on how to use it with your own mysteries and a basic example. It doesn't require anything that isn't free (except time.)
