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.

Into the Dungeon: Revived [v2.2 release]
Of course, see charsheets.zip at itch.io, or release page.
-
LaTEX template for an RPG book
Into The Dungeon: Revived is written in latex, and is CC-BY-SA. Additionally, the Cairn Bestiary is written using a tex template.
-
Open Source Like
That's certainly an option. Games like Liminal Horror and Into the Dungeon Revived host versions on GitHub. You can then render it to a GitHub.io page using something like Just the Docs.

Cairn PC advancement?
There are Scars in Cairn (just like in Electric Bastionland) but for advancement specifically it would be simple to use Into The Odd or Into The Dungeon: Revived advancement rules!

WireViz: Easily document cables and wiring harnesses
Your wish showing up in the face of a submission just 14 days ago and then another 29 days ago must be indicative of why there are so many dupes all the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=kroki.io
You can feel free to submit the GH repo, as that one doesn't seem to have been submitted before https://github.com/yuzutech/kroki

D2 Playground
Pikchr https://pikchr.org/home/pikchrshow is the other general purpose one and older than d2. It is "Source-Code License: 0-clause BSD" as it says on the page.
Someone made it into wasm and put playground for pikchr here https://www.jakethaw.com/pikchr_webassembly_demo/
Can also try pikchr online here on https://kroki.io/#try which is hosting many other text to diagram tools as well.

Mermaid Chart, a Markdown-like tool for creating diagrams, raises $7.5M
I use mermaid.js heavily, but plug for Kroki:
https://kroki.io/
“Kroki provides a unified API with support for BlockDiag (BlockDiag, SeqDiag, ActDiag, NwDiag, PacketDiag, RackDiag), BPMN, Bytefield, C4 (with PlantUML), D2, DBML, Ditaa, Erd, Excalidraw, GraphViz, Mermaid, Nomnoml, Pikchr, PlantUML, Structurizr, SvgBob, Symbolator, TikZ, UMLet, Vega, Vega-Lite, WaveDrom, WireViz... and more to come!”

Nomnoml
If you don't mind my asking, what aspects of "acceptable layout" is usually the first to get busted?
I'm extremely excited about using WireViz[1] to automate wiring harness diagram creation, and if I can, I'd like to know the speedbumps before I hit them. I'm thinkin generous linking between diagrams will be one path.

The SVG output is embedded into the PDF file.

Kroki has other text-based formats for flow charts, Gantt charts, UML diagrams, packet diagrams, network diagrams, word clouds, etc.

Documentation as Code for Cloud Using PlantUML
My cross-platform desktop text editor, KeenWrite, allows users to define variables in an external YAML file. The editor calls out to Kroki[1] to convert text-based diagrams to SVG. The diagrams can reference variables and are rendered using EchoSVG[2].
KeenWrite[3] can produce PDF documentation from Markdown documents that has PlantUML diagrams with elements stored in an external, machine-readable file. Here are screenshots showing variables on the left, diagram text in the middle, and a real-time render on the right:

* https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DaveJarvis/KeenWrite/main/...
KeenWrite supports all diagrams offered by Kroki, which includes "diagram-plantuml".
