If your Plot uses History Ranks it makes sense to limit your Event
to some Time and Place e.g. England past 800 years, or more narrow if
you are using costumes. All Guests choose their own Real Character
from History (or Current World) and have to know: The Birthplace,
School Years, Profession and Place of Education, First Job and
most important Citations or Achievements ...
