| 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!

I really wish we'd switch to Stardates now that the whole world is networked. Julian calendar cycles of 7 days repeating makes life feel bland and repetative. Oh hey, it's Monday again! Judging the flow of time by daylight hours and moon cycles was always a losing game anyway; the only way to make that system work is to come up with periodic exceptions where we add a day, take an hour and bounce back and forth chaotically, violating the natural cycles of our biorythms and jetlagging ourselves to keep up. We're not even an agrarian society that needs to hold itself to the crop cycles and tilts of our axis any more!
Besides, I find it utterly criminal that institutions like banks who hold your money can deny you its services on a sunday or in the middle of the night on a 24/7 economy. Then when you do show up on a monday morning at 10am, they wind up being closed anyhow because its Arbor Day or Groundhog's Day. Banks seriously shut down on the very slightest excuse... one time I went to Bank of America here in Orlando and it was closed for Canadian Boxing Day. What gives?! All I want to do is cash a check so I dont get an overdraft and the bank tellers are all celebrating Canadian Holidays? And Arbor Day... like the staff REALLY need to go out and plant a tree.
Of course the bank is never too busy to hit you with an overdraft during that time, as they sit on your checks for a week before even processing them.

Well, thanks to the power of the Big 5 up here, American banks are slowly being bought out or taken over by Canadian banks.  So when our central offices close for a holiday... so do your branches.
(Granted, with things like the credit crunch, it may hurt our banks a bit, but they're pretty robust these days. I worked for BMO for a bit. Very much diversified.)

| Well.... that's a US/UK thing. Checks have been abolished here like ten years ago already and internet banking is common (with over 80% of homes having broadband it's not that strange). Your employer just directly transfers your salary to your bank account each month. Lot more efficient
And through the internet banking, we can get to our money 24/7 actually | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
