| 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!

|  Stepping down
Life is sometimes too full of reality to be able to do the things worthwhile, like be a part of the best RP gaming community in the world. I hope you all feel fortunate and committed to the fantastic group that plays here. Even more to mention the snap-bang job Leathar has to do so that we have it. How fantastic it is for me to have been a part of it for a short time.
I am stepping down as a part time Quest GM so that I can pay more attention to life for a time. I have just been accepted to grad school I hope to start this summer, my beautiful little girl needs my attention and I have to give me all to a house and yard this summer I have to pay attention to.
I will not be leaving, but I have to also give up my cable modem for now and that severaly limits my playing time and ability. Dialup is a drag. I will still try to show up and see what I can do, as Elinmire is working towards magical cooperation.
I wish you all the best. I just can't commit anmore. After I moved a quest 3 times, I knew it was over, I've just been in denial. I want everyone to know how fantastic the GM team is. Leanthar and the Lead GMs and the cast of Quest GMs, they do a great job. This is a fantastic place to play that needs your financial and imaginatory support.
I'll still be a little around. I hope,
I wish you all the best,
David, Kethryc, etc.... |  |   | |

You did what I should do but might never be able to. Commit myself to school entirely. Good luck.

Good luck Keth, we'll miss your GM'ing, be sure you drop by from time to time as there are many wizards needing Elinmire's guidance.

I haven't met you yet in game, but you do sound like a good guy!  Good luck with your life, and as Master Yoda wisely says "May the force be with you" | | | | |

I'm glad you're at least sticking around. We've had a few really interesting conversations that someday I hope we'll find the time to finish but it seems that both of us have become preoccupied with matters of greater importance.
Sometimes it's difficult to see the truth right before our eyes and it's at times like this that the hard decisions are often the best decisions to make.
Best wishes and cheers!

with grad school, you'll certainly have your hands full. Remember if your grad professor starts harping at you about "things aren't going to be THIS easy in the REAL WORLD", to ask him what his salary is and compare it to that of your college part time job... then point out that you pay his salary, that's the real world.
In the past 4 years of college, I've refused to respond to my professors unless they call me by "Sir" or "Mr. lastname". If they get snippy about it, I tell them I'll also accept "Sire" and "M'Lord". | | | | |
