UnTeX - Parsing and formatting TeX documents with Rust - Looking for help
Nonetheless, it lacks a lot of nice tools such as "linters", "formatters", "grammar-checker", "syntax-checker", and so on. I know some tools exist (e.g., opendetex, ChkTeX, ...), but most are very old, or do not provide an API for easily interfacing with other programs.

[Advice needed] Any tips or tools to revise/proofread your own thesis more efficiently?
I used detex to transform LaTeX into plain text, and then uploaded that to Grammarly. I usually did smaller sections at a time (single chapters, for example). It worked ok.

LaTeX for publishing tabletop role-playing games

The article links to several, including a convincing reproduction of basic Wizards of the Coast house style for D&D 5E:

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 is the current status of Latex?
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.
