| 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.

|  The Death of a Shadow
Hello everyone...
I know most of you don't know me, well, personally anyway, and I'm sure most of you never will, but...
Well how do you say it... I mean, how does anyone say it?
My beautiful bunny rabbit, Shadow, passed away today... And I never saw it coming...
Norwegian Dwarf... Thats the breed, about 10 - 14 inches long when she laid out like a puppy.
I first met her when I was about... 15 or 16, at a boyscout meeting. She was barely 4 inches long then, not even a week old. I could grab her around the midsection with one hand and she'd never go anywhere... I got her about a month after that... She used to "kiss" me, I'd stick my head in her cage and she'd run up and press her lil nose against mine and we'd just sit there... Her fur was really soft too... Like silk, but softer... Kinda wish she was the size of a Great Dane, I'd lay her ontop of me... She loved Good & Plenty too...  
I loved my Rabbit...
Rest In Peace Shadow

Very cute bunny.
It's always hard when a pet dies. I'm sure Shadow had a good life with you.
And, as with any such passing, quick and unexpected is almost always better than slow and lingering.
My condolences, Shiff. |  | | | The Following User Says Thank You to darkstorme For This Useful Post: | | |

I've lost two, and I still remember bawling my eyes out on the first one. Rabbits are very special pets. I understand your pain Shiff.
*hugs*

Aww....She was cute...
I'm sorry to hear this. Loosing a pet is almost terrible and in many ways worse than loosing a person. Pets, unlike people, are so dependent upon us for almost everything, that it's all the worse to see them go. I remember my first dog and my gineua (sp?) pig....
I'm sorry Shiff, may Shadow go to a better place, a great carrot and lettuce filled meadow in the sky.

Sorry for your loss. That was a very cute little bunny. I never had one before, just cats. Right now we have a very very fat and cuddly one named Scarface and a teeny little feral one named Squeaky that eats the neighbor's dogs. Rabbits never really liked me much; I'd try to pet them and they'd scurry away or pee on me.
I don't know about dane-sized bunnies though. My highschool history teacher Mr. Iori told us one time about when he hallucinated from lack of sleep and saw big green bunnies the size of Buicks hopping around the highway. He hopped out of his car and started trying to flag down all the drivers, warning them to watch out for the bunnies until cops picked him up and made him go home. Now many years later and having almost completed college myself, I highly doubt it was all just lack of sleep that did it though. | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to lonnarin For This Useful Post: | | |
