La malgranda feneko volas dormetiRecently ran across the idea of the pocketmod again and after a brief, "Those were cool, weren't they!" moment i found myself put out by a full 50% of the paper being unused. On one hand I don't see how to avoid that without some kind of binding. On the other hand, why not either staple bind or sew a binding, it already calls for the use of scissors, a stapler or needle and thread isn't that much more. And as far as needle and grass goes pamphlet stitching is so very easy. #pocketmod #pamphlet
Seriously, by accepting a staple or a simple stitch you could easily go from eight pages to sixteen. Double the pages for barely more effort. Add one single sheet of paper more and your pocket notebook has thirty-two pages instead of the eight pages of the original. Pages the same size. Give in to the bookbinding bug, there's so many possibilities.
Anke@LilFluff Yeah, so much paper unused, and it's nigh impossible to get the pages to get together right, the folding is just always a little off. I kinda hate it's so popular that some mini RPGs on itch.io are offered only as printable PDFs with half the pages turned upside down...
@Anke I think some of these folks must be folding paper all the time and have no idea anymore that it's a skill (or that not everyone has a bone folder on hand). Treat it as a pamphlet and it's not the half page slit but slice the page into two long strips. Fold, staple or sew, and if things are annoyingly not quite perfect trim the edges flush.
