| 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.

|  Bit of help for Awards
Yes yes yes, it's that time of the year again. Time for "ZeroVega's Second Anual RP Awards!" I have several categories that I'll be using in this year's award cerimonies but I'm open to any that you folks can come up with... I only have so much creativity juice. So PM me what categories you'd like to see and if you have a suggestion for who should win what let me know.
Ta-ta!

Do you have a link to last years? I'd like to see that.
Offhand I'd like to see best Dev thread, best RP'd in game couple, best new RPer (under level 8 say)....that sort of thing.

I'd say have a category for each class for Best RPer... Then a Best Subrace Player... An overall Best RPer would rock, too.

Best swashbuckling dwarven sailor with an eye patch and a first name starting with K award? *checks the LORE database for a moment*.... and having the second letter in the first name an 'e'... that ought to do it.
What are the prizes anyhow? 
Not that into these, but this is certainly a good community for it.
- Most Comedic Character Award
- Most Confusing Dialect Award
- Best Loner Award
- Best OTO Historian Award*
- Most Misinformed Historian Award
- Best Dressed Award
- Worst Dressed Award
- Lucky Bugger Award
- Poor Sod Award
- Best Death Scream Award
- Greedy Looter Award**
Ideally we follow the modern university way and make sure everyone gets an award.

You all have good idea's but I think your forgetting something.
I was thinking of including the gm's/dm's. With catagories like:
- Best GM/DM
- Best made and run CDQ and/or serie.
just an idea but I think these guys in the team can use some kind off reward to.
and perhapes there can be somekind off poll created for the catagories. That is if it is for Layonara only but I'm not sure couldn't find it in the rest of the post.

Bah... best GM... who cares about those??? As far as true value added, the Best Death Scream Award carries a lot more weight. Let's not fool ourselves.  | | | | |

I could not vote for best gm, having such a limited time means I havent really been able to do enough to make a valid vote. How many really know enough to vote on best CDQ? Best Development Thread, now that can done.

Remember folks, this is my own opinion; thus it will be a very narrow view of Layonara. Half of the answers I pull out of my wazoo knowing full well that there's a better choice out there. It in no way reflects the feelings of the players or GMs of Layonara, it's simply something for me to do during the day and a way to entertain my self if I have a few minutes to work. That said there will NOT be an overall Best GM category OR overall Best RPer. Thank you.

"I got nothing better to do then quest" award For players that are always on a quest
The grand WTH (heck) award Given to players for having those moments were every one wants to scream What the heck!?
Most emotional Death
Most deaths
Hardcore players award
Magical mistake award.. IE blowing your self up with a fireball

I just had an idea. Why not have a poll for each award. That way poeple can add the ones they think should be added to the poll and give there point to it.
What do you think?

Unfortunatly I can't find the link, I think the thread was deleted. I have about 50 categories thus far so keep em coming and I'll either poll you on which categories should be added or I'll put em all in.
