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. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

Is he writing it in Word and pasting?

If so, there's a known issue with Word's apostrophes and quote marks that cause messages to get truncated.

Its not only word, but wordpad and other things. It has something to do with how the forums are handling special characters and how those other applications (even a plain-jane one like wordpad) don't encode them like the forums expect. Not sure what else to say. I simply do not use ' " - -- and such when I type long messages and then copy/paste in to the forums. It doesn't look as nice but it does end up working in the long run. If you are typing directly in to the forum submission though it works fine, the copy/paste just does not work very well at all.

If you're using Windows as an operating system, I've found that plaintext text editors like Notepad or Notepad++ seem to avoid the special characters that the forum dislikes.

A small tool that I just created in 15 minutes or so:

Text Cleaner for Layonara

Just paste your text from word into that page and push the "clean" button.

I bet it's not handling all the weird cases, but I hope it's working well enough for most purposes already...

Edit: Changed a little... read the warnings!
