Little folding things about cats
I've been distracted and low on energy this week1 but I've been thinking a lot about 3 Skulls Pocketfold template. I'm interested in the idea of using the cut down the middle they suggest to expand content rather than replacing it. I'm toying with a couple of tiny things to try to make use of it.
The format is a folded sheet, but rather than the eight A6 pages and reverse sheet of the Pocketmod the pocketfold doesn't have the cut and the pages are more configurable. With a single cut you end up with A6 front and back covers, an A6 spread for introduction and then two sections made up of an A6 spread and an A5 page for more details. That gives two clear sections of rules and I've been thinking about what I can do with that space.
The first game that I'm mulling over is an exploration game with two parts, exploration and encounters. The A6 spread for each section would be the procedure and the A5 page would be spark tables. My initial concept is a solo journaling game about a cat exploring the area around their house. I'm excited about it because it gives me an excuse to consider the use of overloaded dice2 to add Cat Returns style whimsy to the thing. I've got other ideas but this one is the cutest and it grabbed my attention.
