Could there please be some space on the sheet where players and GMs are reminded of the Genre/Setting/Mode/Premise decisions that are the guide to character creation.

These narrative-stylistic decisions are used to adjudicate game mechanics and are not just fluff.

I don't want my players to focus on the canonical setting/s rather than on the narrative gaming we are doing as a play group. I want my players thinking "We are doing a Gladiator-style tragedy set in Glamour" not getting off track into discussion of what kinds of weapons or fighting techniques are REALLY used in that city.
