[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7305916, member: 6816692"] Oh, it will be brought up again in later sessions. Our means of address isn't that plot relevant (it might become though) but it is one aspect where differences in character become visible. For example, Carlyle using an informal address to some seemingly random person would be a strong sign that something just isn't right. It is also a bit of a digression, yes, as I don't know whether the strong distinction between names is confusing for someone who doesn't know the background. Carlyle's player and I talked a bit about it when Tizbiz brought up "Xambria" at some point and we simply didn't know who he was referring to. Turned out that he read some other story recaps for inspiration and got used to her first name while we only knew of Dr. Meredith. We sadly missed to mention the jaw-dropping reaction of Carlyle when Auryn was addressing "the Rear Admiral" informally in adventure 1. For [I]Your Name[/I]: I haven't seen the movie yet, but I saw a good deal of subbed Anime in my youth and find the Japanese language fascinating. Still I can only comprehend the pure basics without subtitles. So yeah, I can understand the resulting confusion when someone uses the seemingly wrong version of "I" in Japanese :) Which... makes me wonder how Japanese groups would handle their naming conventions in their campaigns.
