| 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!

|  *sniffs slightly* It finally happened....
....My baby boy is getting all grown up!
Today I took his cot down, assembled his bed and then made it up with the amazingly cute space betset I discovered in a sale.
On one hand I can't wait to see his reaction when he sees it for the first time and on the other hand a part of me is gonna miss all the daft little things that went along with him sleeping in a cot.
Of course as my man pointed out....We are assuming he will actually like said cute bedset, knowing my luck he'll hate it  |  |   | |

Our soon to be 6 year old has her own PC although not her own TV yet....She's yet to work out that all the games she enjoys playing on it are actually very educational!

No, Daddy will simply wait until he is strong enough and sensible enough to be taught how to use one of the many real swords laying about the house. | | | | |

Cute! I remember that step with our kids here. Just like you we wondered how each one would take it and we also looked foward to their first reaction to seeing the changes. Its one of those neat steps in parenting. | | | | |

Well enjoy your time with him regardless of how he likes the bed. My little baby is now 6'2" and starts playing college football this fall. College registration over Father's Day was a bit harder then I thought it would be. I guarantee you the time goes faster then you ever think is possible. Almost layo time it now seems like. | | | | |

A difficult task I know, but highly worth it.

Aww  . Mine switched as soon as the little monkey was climbing out of his crib, it was more an adjustment for me than him I think!
What do we miss more? Them being a baby or...having a safe place to keep them contained? :P

Containment Honora..... the containment I miss more! Baby, not so much, I don't think dads exist in a babies eyes... We don't provide... food.
Now that mine is seven...
I miss containment, now if I put him in a cage it's child abuse...

My little guy has been in a big boy bed for 18 months or so now. He has never once fallen out and yet I still go in every night, before I go to bed, and put pillows next to his bed.
