Welcome to the Layonara forums!

Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.

Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.

After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.

There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.

We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.

Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features.

Beware! This is a current GM in training!


Before Layonara I had no idea about Roleplaying, PnP or much of the whole Dungeons and Dragons genre.
I did however, thoroughly enjoy two games which lead me to NWN and here.
Baldurs Gate I and II.

After one of the first "Explorer sessions" I held... which led to a TPK ( Total Party kill) from a mere two Griffons... a GM decided to jump in, raise us and give an impromptu Quest.
And that was it for me.

Currently not working by choice whilst studying and gaining qualifications to remove myself from the cursed and unavoidable circle that lies within my area.
The primary job available and that is expected of people to work here is in the multitude of "Call Centre's" around the area.

Saying that, Study is also affected by the mischeivous nature of my 8 month son who... much to our dismay, learnt to crawl and climb at a "way" too early stage.


GM Style

Not wanting to set anything in stone... but currently I'll be aiming for a complete mix of RP, Bashing and investigation.

No resting will be allowed unless pre-authorised. Sleeping for eight hours in the Deep not fifty feet from a well known Dark Elf abode is -not- wise... and you'll likely be woken sharply and rudely.
Advance notice will usually be given for the Team to Buff... in which case you will have a set amount of time before battle commences... depending on the situation.

Looting will only be allowed on certain quests. This will be pre-advised.

Do not Roll just because others do. And if you do roll, Emote it and send a Tell on the DM line what your rolling/emoting for.

Think about things. Because the Quest seems bashy.... does not mean its wise to have your five adventurer's attempt to fight their way into an Orcen Fortress. That is just stupid... and I have no qualms about letting stupid actions be..... *coughs*.... rewarded.
