Hello! I created a LARP and used the Pocketfold technique for the ruleset!
You’re supposed to literally put it in your pocket whenever you go for a stroll ^^

Hi! I just wanted to check to make sure, but is it ok to use the pocketfold format in a commercial project? I didn’t see it explicitly stated, and I wanted to make sure that I’m not doing you dirty after you shared such an incredibly cool thing with the community!
What an awesome design! I think my jaw actually, literally dropped when I read the feature list & got to the part about a usable full-page interior. I can’t wait to utilize your templates for some of my zines, I’ll be sure to come back and link them here when I have.
You can see how it’s folded from the videos. Fold it in half lengthwise, then fold the result in half widthwise. Then open that last fold back up and fold in the two “arms” so that they fold inwards.
That’s awfully wordy, so if you can’t figure it out from the above or the videos, let me know and I’ll record a demo of how to fold it.
While experimenting with the format, I made some little notebooks (both Pocketfold and Pocketmod versions), which are actually more useful than I thought they would be..
Sure! Either upload them to a cloud service and then share the link here, or go to my site (here) which has details at the top of the page with how to contact me on social media.

Yeah, absolutely fine! Drop a comment here with the project when it’s live and I’ll add it to the Collection, too.

Glad you like it, and I’ll be waiting to add your designs to the collection! 😉
Cn you make a tutorial on how to fold one?

Hello!
I created a Pocketfold version of my rules-lite post-apocalyptic game Rough Destiny. You can find it here: https://squidhead-games.itch.io/rough-destiny
Added to the collection, and I also added Heroic Tales, since I see you’ve done a solo Pocketfold for it.
Thanks!!
Hi Matt!
I have created a Pocketfold version of the Pocketmod I did for Nimble 5e, you can find it in https://vehrka.itch.io/nimblerpg-pocketmod-cs
Thanks a lot for the original idea!!!
Nice! Added it to the collection.
this is such a great template and design! I made a character journal for the Lost Bay ttrpg using it! https://wren-the-forrester.itch.io/pocket-weirdos
Oh wow, that’s a great implementation - and ofc I’ve added it to the collection!
thanks a lot !
Did one for Skullfungus' Isle of Ixx : https://uristmacitchio.itch.io/pocketfold-of-ixx
Added to the collection!
I think in printing lingo this fold can be called a broadside closed gate (aka double gate) fold.
While experimenting with the format, I made some little notebooks (both Pocketfold and Pocketmod versions), which are actually more useful than I thought they would be..

Cool stuff, I’ve added your notebooks to the collection.
I made a Pocketfold format for my Solo RPG Oracle, I'd love for you to include it in your collection! Thanks for sharing this wonderful tip!

Awesome, and done!
I love the format. I just replicated the templates for Swift Publisher 5. Do you want them to share here?
Sure! Either upload them to a cloud service and then share the link here, or go to my site (here) which has details at the top of the page with how to contact me on social media.
I made this using the Pocketfold format! Love it! https://chaoclypse.itch.io/pocket-scvm
Looks great! I’ve added it to the collection.
Pocket mod in the wild for DURF JAM https://manarampmatt.itch.io/durf-pocket-mod-character-journal
Awesome - looks great! Now added to the collection.
Great job on this!
Thanks! Just seen The Long Moonlight and it looks great!
Thanks, and you’re very welcome! Love how you’ve implemented it with the Forbidden Lands of the Ancient Temple!
You just reignited my love for pocketbook game design. My 40+ page zine in progress is getting butchered down AND I LOVE IT
Awesome! Posted your WIP pics from Twitter here so people can see it in action. Happy it’s a good fit!
This would be very useful for physical playbooks and is quite unique in that way. 10/10 would fold again.
Thanks!
The RPG layout is quite useful with the foldover allows the rules and that part of the character sheet to be visible at the same time. This is great.
Thank you!
You’re very welcome! Happy to see people are getting as excited about it as I am! Looking forward to seeing what people come up with.
This is very cool, thank you for sharing the find!
You’re very welcome! Please come back and link to anything you happen to make with it - I’d love to see it put into practice!
