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!

Default Layonara Stores

Hi folks,

I have it on the front page but it seems to have been entirely missed or something. I want to make sure that everybody knows we have stores for the community here at Layonara. Any purchase made through these stores helps us to support the game servers and the community in general. Please use them when you are looking to order something, it does nothing but help the community.

http://www.layonara.com/stores.php

The two most important stores, that help us the most, are RPGNow and BurnLounge.

BurnLounge is a a really cool music store--but it will be so much more in about a month.

RPGNow is a store front that will have some very heavy use coming up some time this year. Know, learn it, love it. But please, always go through layonara.rpgnow.com

Default Re: Layonara Stores

Leanthar has just added his Burnlounge store to the Layonara website. All of you can help fund Layonara by taking advantage of what he is offering to you. There are a number of ways you can do this.



1. Buy your music directly from the Layonara store. Layonara will earn a commission for the music that is downloaded from the store, providing the order is at least one album, or the equivalent. So, if you normally buy three tracks one day, and four tracks another, simply adjust your buying habits a little and bundle them into one order of at least ten tracks at a time.

2. Tell people you know who download their music to do it through the Layonara store site, following the same guidelines as above.

3. Sign up for your own store through Layonaras store, or tell people who might be interested in a new business to look at the Burnlounge concept. Right now, the least expensive store can be purchased for $30/year, plus $7/month if you want your rewards convertible into cash. More can be learned here, starting with Step 1. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in this, make sure to sign up through the Layonara site.

4. Next month, when Burnlounge 2.0 is released, ALL of you can sign up for a FREE Burnpage through the Layonara store. Click here for a brief description of how the system will change from the current setup. Even if you do not buy much online yourself, you can help build the Layonara community by passing out Burnpages to other people you know, and encouraging them to do the same. Layonara will benefit as this FREE community grows, because Layo will receive a percentage of all the sales made through the entire community. Also, even if someone 5 degrees of separation out decides to pick this up as a business, Layonara will benefit because that person will join Layonaras team on the business side.

5. If you are, or know, an independent artist, let them know about Burnlounge. Artists can submit their music for free, and Burnlounge will pay them between 50 and 70 cents per 99-cent download, regardless of whose store it sells through. The Layonara community can be their first level of distribution. All of us could have a "Friends of Layonara" (or something similar) section on our Burnpages, and feature the artists that have joined through the Layonara community. Please note: Though it is generally a good idea for an artist to have their own store, it is not a requirement to receive the 50-70 cents per download. They simply receive an additional 5 cents per track downloaded directly from their own store, if they have one. Of course, this applies not only to THEIR music, but all the music sold through their store.



I would like to highlight a couple of important points about the near future, too:

1. Burnlounge will begin to offer content other than music soon, as Leanthar has pointed out. Movies are slated to be first, followed by games, ring-tones, e-books, and more.

2. Burnlounge will begin international expansion in the next few months. The first country will be Canada, followed by Australia, the U.K. and Southeast Asia, among many more after that. When a new country is about to be included in the Burnlounge community, we will let you know, so either you or people you know in those countries can help build the Layonara community further.

3. As the Layonara Burnlounge community grows, we can all highlight the Layonara server and game-world on our Burnpages. The more attention brought to Layonara, the better, right?

Let us all try to remember that this place exists. Donations are simply not enough to keep this place going, so if you are considering to buy the new "---" CD, consider using the online stores instead of the local store. Perhaps you'll have to wait a few days, but you are supporting the world and enabling Leanthar to keep the servers updated and running. Leanthar has poored more money into this place than most people imagine.

So let us help him out in turn. It does not cost you anything, since you get something for you money - likely something you would have bought anyhow
