Thank you so much for the SRD.  Using a cootie catcher as a ttrpg  tool is such a cool idea. I'm having trouble following the instruction though...

3.  the player picks which one they wish to explore and roll the d8 again as a D4 [So I would just regard a 5 as a 1, right? Or 1-2:1; 2-3:2; etc.  so far so good...]

4.  they then fold to catcher the amount rolled one last time and pick the corresponding number
[ that doesn't seem to be possible, since the flaps are numbered 1-8 with one fold showing 2,4,5,8 and the other fold showing 1,3,6,7. so no matter how I used a d8 as a d4,  chances are the number rolled is not displayed on the fold.]

 So my question is this:  why not simply number the flaps inside as 1-4  for each fold? 2x1-4.

 Sorry, it's been a coupler decades since I last folded a cootie catcher. So the experience was a little confusing from the start :D
