    > 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:

    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.

    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.
