| 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!

|  Deploying Soon
Well, folks, my shore tour ended about two months ago and I reported onboard my next submarine 'the boat'. While I was on shore duty, I got to play nearly every day for close to three years. But, with every sea going command comes a mission. We are going on that mission. I will be out (with no port calls) for roughly three months. That means no forums and quitting Layo cold turkey. I am not looking forward to the withdrawals. One of the things that haunts me is the ending of the current version of Layo while I am deployed. I do hope that the forums are still around on my return. Lynn1020 will be able to send out brief messages to keep me updated on the status and about you guys; really my only link to the real world, family conditions (my Layo family too) and such. So, needless to say, I do look forward to the messages. If anyone desires to send a note to me, it will have to be routed to Lynn1020 and she can forward it on. I would like to personally thank you, Leanthar, for your creation, creativity and allowing me to be a part of it. I do wish you the best on the next generation of Layonara. To the rest of the 'Layo family', thank you for the fun! I hope to see you all again. There are SO many great memories (and a ton of screenshots om my PC to look at while I am out) . Who would have thought such from a computer game? Oh, has anyone ever felt like their character was real and lived inside your computer like in an aquarium? Yeah, me either.  But I have dreamed of meeting Rodlin and shaking his hand and talking to him for a while. That was one of several other Layo related dreams I have had. Layo has become more than just a game. Thanks again, good luck and best wishes to all! Mike

Take care, stay busy and the time will fly. Thanks for the memories I've been a part of too. We didn't get the chance yet to have that bare fisted rematch. I remember laughing so hard when Dorax and Rodlin would go at it, didn't he kick Dorax in the chest one time?

It's going to be strange, missing another cornerstone player.
Hope the seas are clear, and your mission sees you home safe.

Dude I am so bummed!
Mike was one of the first players to take me under wing and show me the ropes of Layonara.
You will be missed greatly during your time away. But fear not we will be here in this form or another when you get back.
