| 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!

|  Enjoy Everyday
I write this with a heavy heart.
A good friend of mine died yesterday. He was 40 years old, had three children 18, 7 and 3. He was going through security to get on a flight to go and spend a weekend in Las Vegas and dropped dead from a brain anuerism in the security line.
I write this, well, to remind everyone that what you do everyday should be precious.
Hug your children. Kiss your wife or husband. Tell your parents you love them. Pet a dog. Look at nature and revel in it's beauty. Give a beggar a dollar. Make the world a better place, somehow, even if it's just your small slice of it. And don't let petty stuff overwhelm you. See the beauty in life, and contribute to it.
It seems to me that we never know when we have nine soul strands lost, and the next one is the last.
Spread Joy, Happiness, and Love,
Nathan

My neighbor's husband just died yesterday at age 58 from a heart attack, a Viet war veteran, so this couldn't be all the more true.
We are all human, and we all take things for granted, yet these reminders, as grim as they are, are what keep us thankful for what we have.
Thank you for reminding us all.

I'm sorry to hear this... I know its hard to offer sympathy and caring over the internet, but if we can do anything for you, let us know.
And thank you for the message of this post. Your words are very poignant, and I think I need to go hug a few people now.

Aye, life is very strange, so hard to understand how easily it is given & taken away...
I am sorry for the losses posted here & know that you have my sympathy...
This is an important lesson that the real important fact of life is to enjoy it...
Stop worrying about the useless things like money, enjoyment & fufilment is obtained in much different ways.
Thank you for the reminder... personally i like to just ignore that little fact of life & live everyday the best i can, trying to think little of the issues that occur in it.
