| 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.

|  New Player, hello and questions...
Hi all,
I would like to introduce myself.
Character name will be Irritatus Maximus (not a fully RP name, but it has a history from old pnp lore, so I keep it).
Character info and creed, assuming all gets approved:
Dwarven Cleric of Tempus (or appropriate "diety")
May have levels of barbarian to simulate the barbarian like abilities of the 1/2E cleric/priest of tempus.
Conflict/Combat above all else, filters out the strong and those true to their nature.
Sewer of chaos, Chaos IS the natural "order" of things.
Goal: Become the diety of Chaos.
---
I have a question on the RP of AOE spells on party members. The overview mentions Hammer of the Gods, but Divine spells (most of them, including HOG and Call/chain lightning) Specifically state they only affect enemies in the AOE. Is this RP of these effects on party members example a bad example, or is this effect RP'd out as if the spell descriptions didn't discrimiate?
Thanks,
Irritatus

never mind. After reading the forum sticky's for character submissions, I can't play CN unless I have played another character first, and attained at least level 10. Oh well, after deciding I could bend Pyrtechon to my credo....my RP style is very CN in nature, so anything else will be "off". Thanks all,
looks like a cool world too.
Irritatus.

I submitted anyway. Worst thing would be a NO, but maybe someone gets inspired by the character description. I understand the trials and tribulations of running a world and somtimes "absolute" rules are required, but often rules get bent by GMs that are truly attached to their world, which this world seems have. Will I get an email or board PM with the answer? Or should I come back in a week or so? Well, an email would require more effort of your part, I'll just check daily or so.
Irritatus.

Don't give up so easily. I'm sure you can decently RP any character of any alignment, so make a character to just get to know the world. Then once you have the requirements, you can even more deeply enjoy Layonara with your true character.
This is really a superb world to play in. Please consider

Seriously - You should explore other alignments, you can get some great RP moments when in teams or discussing. Like Talen and Dulan (Ask in game for details, so you have to join! )
As for the AOE spells, Hammer of the Gods do not effect players.
Other spells like fireball, chain lighting etc. This does fry other players as well your enemy, you have to RP that you shall cast a fireball first to start the battle off for example. It's a full PVP area.
I hope you join! | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
