Help creating an East-Asian Tavern
I want to create an east-asian inspired tavern. Once I'm done I'll post on this subreddit a polished version (using The Homebrewery). By commenting you are giving me permission to copy your suggestions.

The Gazetteer Vol. 1
I made this one to mimic the Baldur's Mouth newspaper, as seen in BG3, using the Homebrewery - I created a template here.

What tools are you missing?
Quite a few people seem to think there should be (and are surprised to find there isn't) something that lets them dump in their Google Doc design and have it magically formatted into a pretty PDF for them. Something like Homebrewry, but not D&D-centric, and they probably expect it to be even easier than however you edit stuff on there.

The `hanging-punctuation property` in CSS
One example that I contribute to: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com
It is a code mirror app that outputs md styled like dnd books. It’s very much a “round peg in square hole” project, using html/css to create print materials, but for many it is good enough. It is just html and css, and allows customization, and precise styling requires precise css properties.
As you noted, it does only work well in one browser, Chrome on desktop (even though I think all the devs use FF as their daily driver). But as another commenter noted, the answer is that you design on one machine and share via pdf.

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:
https://github.com/matsavage/DND-5e-LaTeX-Character-Sheet-Te...
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).
