Slate: Another Bloody Treasure Map moves to Wed afternoon at 6 players; DEAD AIR moves to Thu/Fri/Sat evenings at 6 players. Black Summer, The Favour and Mr Parker's Diary shift to the freed afternoons. Game folders renumbered to match. DEAD AIR reframed: an SS-Ahnenerbe unit built an acoustic chamber below the Fuehrerbunker to make one broadcast on the last night. The occult programme was not a regime finding power, it was something cultivating a regime that could build transmitters. Part One retitled Ash & Concrete. Bible gains a Handling the Nazi material section as a binding design constraint (no wonder-weapon glamour, victims named, bunker kept banal, no regalia in the art) and a six-player design section (Act Twos split 3+3). Flyer, Warhorn blurbs, schedule and production tracker rebuilt; flyer re-verified as a single A4 page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The three DEAD AIR games are a linked Call of Cthulhu trilogy running on three consecutive nights, so a player can book all three without a clash. Each also stands alone. It begins in a room built under Hitler's bunker that appears on no plan, and it is about what the Reich's occult programme was actually for. See the trilogy bible, including its Handling the Nazi material section — a design constraint, not a disclaimer.

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.
Private convention play materials — not for sale or distribution. All game systems are the property of their respective publishers.
