| 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.

|  Life, and it's funny twists.
Well, I got my replacement hard drive back, the folks at Seagate got everything back for me, which is great, one of the few times I've felt smart for buying an extended warrenty program.
On the home front, while I have been gone though, the company that owns the place where I work has sold this particular facility to another healthcare provider, and since I am maintenance and groundskeeper here, my job was one of those that got the axe by the new company, which sucks, because my lodging was included in my salary, and, being jobless, theres no way I can afford to stay in my old home now.
But, the revolving door of opportunity swung around and cracked me on the backside and dumped me right in the middle of several great opportunities. My family and I are moving about 300 miles East, to a new town. My wife will be local to her distribution center for the things she does on E-bay, which will save us about $800 a month in shipping fees, and I fell on my face and landed a great job with a major insurance company being a network technician, my salary tripled with this new job, and my father owns a house that he had been renovating to rent in the city we're moving to, which he agreed to outright sell to us.
Bad part about all this is my job is going to have me traveling three weeks of the month. My territory covers Montana, Idaho, Eastern Washington, Easters Oregon, and Northern Utah, which means my time for Layonara is going to be next to nill.
So with that being said I'd like to thank Leanthar and everyone else on the GM team for allowing me the opportunity to work on the GM team and give something back to the players who make the world great, and to everyone that helped me get along in the early stages you have my heartfelt gratitude.
I still plan to play, but since my time will definately be sporadic I just don't feel it's fair to try to maintain a GM position, and my family will come foremost on my week off every month.
I look forward to the time I'll get to spend here, just going to be less of it.
Vyris

Take care, and good to see that life has smiled on you. We will miss having you around, but will always be pleased to see you when you are able to get on.
The area that your work covers, is probably the same size as the whole of England, I sometimes dont appreciate how big the US is.
