| 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!

I know, they haven't put any screenshots of creatures on the site yet. But just the surroundings are so beautiful on their own. Very realistic. | | | | |

The order of that PW list is interesting too.
*wonders what's the deal there*

I hope that they'll make a proper server software now... One that can handle 100+ players, that is.

Looking very good, what the team can make of it will probably be a players dream.
PS. Are there any benefits to sitting in the PW list? | | | | |

When NWN2 comes out, I'll be ready.
My Geforce 6600 will suffer it, or else... Or else I'll buy a Geforce Number_Of_The_month-GT.

The networking engine hasn't had very many changes from the NwN1 codebase from my understanding.

Poop. They should change the netcode...just to make it faster.
Layo's on the PW list twice. Meaning we should get the toolset a week in advance...
