| 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!

http://nwn.bioware.com
First off, welcome to any new roleplayers who have caught our little big world through today's Bioware Wednesday feature. This is a very friendly community and there is a wealth of resources to get you going so don't hesitate to ask anything and introduce yourself!
Thanks again for all the teams that have helped create what we are today and giving us the opportunity to feature what our world has to give.
Thanks to all community contributors as well. Without whom we'd be back in the precataclysm days.
And of course, thanks to all the players for granting our world it's continuing success and driving us to reach out and continue to do our best.
Cheers,
orth

Just to make this thread a little less "footnote"-like and a little more "promotion"-like...

Ozy, point a few towards Freldo, can be useful to the new guys.
Whatever Freldo doesn't know he'll ask Ozymandias. Yippie, more time with the Arch-bard!

It is not my writing in the interview, well not a whole lot of it. I have a lot of help from many on the team on all areas of managing and interviews and writings are most certainly one of those areas. Thank the teams, they are the ones that gave the interview for the most part. | | | | |
