| 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.

Hi,
I think I recall seeing this before, but I can't find it at the moment. Can someone post the link to the current in-game-time clock, if such a device exists.
Cheers,
Stragen |  |   | |

In-game time is listed down the bottom on all the LORE pages.

Time Conversion
The current time is on every LORE page as mentioned, along with the sundial in Hlint, the date function on the quill and parchments, and asking Aragen in IRC.

Can someone sticky this thread? Time conversion is a common question.
EDIT: That was fast. Thanks, whomsoever was responsible. | | | | |

So by this time conversion tool, a real life day is equivalent to fifteen days in-game.

The opposite will hold true as well.. think about this. How much time have you spent in a tavern Rp'ing at teh freelancers or Leillon arms,lets say 2 hours in RL. That means you stayed at the bar for near 2 days or am i reading that right?
Sometimes charts and graphs were just meant to keep us warm by starting a good fire with them.

Personally, I think this way. I follow the established conversions, but when I'm RPing, what ever RL time it takes to RP that, is how much time passed in Layo.

I see most conversations as time-bubbled.
Pyyran's getting well on towards fifty, and it shows. There's a copy of the Layonara Time Converter (orth's brilliant but MIA converter) floating around, though, so not all is lost.

Of course you're never RPing in a tavern for 2 months if it's actually one conversation.
However, you can't say your character only aged two years if he was there when the skies darkened and still there when they cleared again, that's indeed almost twenty years.
And yes, that does mean some humans are in their seventies if not older. | | | | |

Still free for now, but don't let Vin know. As to being off by an a day or so, that is fixed now. It turns out that one of the two versions had the base time (epoch) not quite right. We won't go into which version had the problem. Quote:
