| 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.

The year after Confederation, the Governor General declared July 1st "Dominion Day", a celebration of the creation of Canada as a nation.
Various things led up to today's firework displays, bands, and whatnot, and in 1982 the name officially changed from Dominion Day to Canada Day. It's basically a "aren't we happy to be Canadian" day, a stat holiday ('cause everyone likes a long weekend), and an excuse to drink beer, party all night, and set off fireworks.
Also, the CBC usually has some fun programming on. They kind of have to. | | | | |

O Canada! Terre de nos aieux, ton front est ceint, de fleurons glorieux. Car ton bras sait porter l'epee, il sait porter la croix. Ton histoire est une epopee des plus brilliants exploits! Et ta valeur, de foi trempee, protegera nos foyers et nos droits! Protegera, nos foyers et nos drois!
Big ups to all of Canada! I was in Ottawa for the big bash, and once again it did not disappoint.

Man I miss the motherland. My parents decided to move down here in Florida when I was 2, but we always used to visit every summer for at least 3 weeks between late july and early august. Now with college and work, I can't afford the time to take off to the great white north during these blasted Floridian heatwaves. It's bloody 92 degrees F right now, and I work in a warehouse.... I can't stand the heat, at least in the bitter cold you can slit open a bantha and sleep in his intestines for comfort... down here you can run around naked and still melt to death.
But most of all, I miss Hostess ketchup & pickle-flavored chips. Sure they cause 2nd degree chemical burns on your tongue in mass quantities... but they're totally worth it. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
