This is a template I've used for my Border Patrol Battle Reports to sort of emulate the classic White Dwarf style.

%Most of what you want to edit are the following 3 files:
% beginning.tex
% battle1.tex
% conclusions.tex

%This main.tex file contains all the custom commands to make the article. Some of these were taken from Fran's post on stackexchange typography. This is fairly heavily edited though.

%Note that to use the differnt fonts this is compiled in XeLaTeX and not pdfLaTeX

%Don't edit this file much except for the bottom part to include the relevant sections
