| General Discussion If you have anything off topic to say or you are unsure where to post, this is the place to do so. | | 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.

| RE: Recipe books Um how many of us GMs did you pose this question to anyway just out of curiousity?
A suggestion, if you need to send a PM to a half dozen GMs, it may be more appropriate to just post it on the forum.

| RE: Recipe books Well i talked to Leanther and he said:
"We will try to get to it at some time but a player can do it and send it to us and it will be so much faster. heh."
So i figured if he said that then i should throw the idea out and see if i catch anything. And i mean an in game recipe book so i dont have to go back to the darned crafting tables everytime i want to know the ingredents for a different ink type or scroll configration... i thank it would be useful for all players. but then again there my be a reasion there arent recipe books for scribing and ink that i dont know of. | | |

| Everything you want to know for inks, cantrips andÂfirst circle scrolls can be found in Willow's Book of Crafting, part 2: http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums...=6343&posts=12
that should give you the general gist of it, higher level scrolls only tend to change recipe-wise when you look at the gemdust and scroll needed (and the type of ink lesser, normal or greater). Making an entire in-game book would have an insane amount of text (just look at the size of the list of spells already). | | |

| RE: Recipe books All the crafts are actually very logical. They seem confusing at first, but after a couple of days you should remember all the ingredients even without a book. So you can try making notes in the journal and begin crafting, very soon you'll understand what I had in mind. | | |

| RE: Recipe books What Ar7 said, Elinmire doesn't need a book anymore. He knows what it takes. It just takes a little time. | | |

| RE: Recipe books  I know people keep saying this and I'm going to repeat it... we all learned to craft via trial and error. We had to learn to memorize the ingredients or write them down somewhere... it might be a little painful to do it with however many crafts you want to do, but I did it and so can you.
*looks around* You! In the back! I saw you roll your eyes at me! Ten minutes in the corner!
 Book is a good idea, unfortunatly there are so many recipies... hundreds in alchemy, hundreds in scribing, hundreds in weapon crafting, cooking, and tailoring. There's just no way any one person can find the time to do it all. Even with a group of people, one for each craft, it'd take quite a while. Good idea... but kinda not realistic at this point. ZV-
