Been doing this for ages, to make my portable, sectioned to-do lists.
I got it from here over 10 years ago.

Does it explain the part about getting your slacker friend to run off copies at the Kinko’s at 3 am?

The PocketMod format has been around for a long time. I’ve written about 26 role playing games and supplements using it. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/3227/Rarr-I039m-A-Monster-Publishing/subcategory/5531_20143/Rarr-Im-A-Pocket-Game

These are great, thanks for the heads-up! (I just bought 'em all - for only $0.35 apiece, how could I not?)

I used to work in publishing, and books were printed with 8, 16, 32 or more pages on a single sheet, which were then folded, gathered together, guillotined and bound together.
In order to get the pages in the correct order I would fold paper like this, write the numbers on the bottom of each page then open the sheet to show the finished order ready to assemble the pages prior to photography; this being well before computers and QuarkXpress.
Useful thing to know how to do if you’re making up ‘zines.

although its been around way longer, my intro to this technique came from someone specifically bOING related… and I then went on to make many a tiny zine with its technique! I love it!

Does it? Ok. I can’t see that / where it is the same.

now that I look at them I guess its just how simple a diagram can get when explaining the process…
meanwhile here is a ridiculous waste of space that was my first attempt at using the technique
