+
+**A game is convention-ready when:** the scenario is at v2 or later, pregens are
+audited against the rules, handouts and art are produced, it has survived at
+least two desk playtests inside the 3:30 budget with the fix list applied, and
+the print pack exists.
+
+## Decisions blocking work
+
+These are the open questions that stop drafting, gathered from the outlines.
+Everything else can proceed without them.
+
+| # | Question | Blocks |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | Was Witchfinder Garrett on screen in a previous game? Nothing in the Continuum 2026 or Contingency 2025/26 material mentions him. | THE FAVOUR — Act One shape |
+| 2 | Does Ilse Brandt (Part One) return in Part Two, and does the Brandt name carry to Part Three? | DEAD AIR II and III — Act Two shape |
+| 3 | Trilogy pregens: three fresh sets, or one lineage across the eras? | All three DEAD AIR pregen sets |
+| 4 | Confirmed Warhorn slot times. | All print, all timing tables |
+| 5 | Which TWDU book edition is at the table? | BLACK SUMMER Runner stat block |
+| 6 | Which Vaesen bestiary entry the ferryman is built on. | MR PARKER'S DIARY v1 |
+
+## Shared production
+
+- **VANITY rules digest** — copy the Continuum 2026 build into
+  `games/slot06-.../reference/`. No rewrite.
+- **GM console** — one Contingency 2027 build with a module per game. The
+  AFTERIMAGE module already exists and ports; the rest are new.
+- **DEAD AIR is one production with three outputs.** Shared bible, shared NPC
+  lineage, shared art direction, one print run. Treating it as three separate
+  scenarios is the main way this slate becomes undeliverable.
+- **Art** — house style throughout: ink sketch / pencil, hand-drawn feel, never
+  photorealistic. Generate via `mj-gen "<prompt>"`. Each game states its own
+  direction line on top of the base style.
