Status

Framework stage. The slate is fixed and every game has a synopsis, design intent, act skeleton and open-questions list. One game (AFTERIMAGE) is already convention-ready and only needs porting. Full scenario drafts, pregens, handouts and playtests are the work ahead — see docs/production-tracker.md.
