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 A suggestion for future Layo

I was thinking today that it would be a shame for the people of Layo that cannot afford to pay for a pay to play game to have to miss out on the future Layo game. I know you can't give out any information on the pricing scheme or how it would be managed but I thought I would make a suggestion for consideration. Just some food for thought as you continue in your development.

The idea is one of "scholarships." I know that throughout the history of Layo there have been the x% of the population that sent in donations so that many others could play for free. This includes all of the server costs born by L and others. One thing that might be cool in the future would be for someone who played the future game to volunteer to pay an extra subscription cost that could be applied at the administrator's discretion to someone who would want to play but couldn't afford to pay. How to verify need would be the hard part I guess but if a scheme could be worked out to verify the fact that someone could not afford to pay based on age or income or something then it would be cool to incorporate the generosity that has always been part of Layo into the new game. Just some random brainstorming for you to chew on.

*nods in agreement* Yeah, we are researching multiple methods and actually have at least one that will help with the exact situation you described in the post.

We are fully aware that some can not pay with cards etc and we are trying to allow for flexibility when and where we can. Sorry, can't say anything more at this time as way too much is still up in the air.

That's what I figured you would have to say. Thanks for considering the idea.

I'm sure one of us would have no problem mailing you it if it came to that
