| 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!

|  Proteus Stepping Down
This is just to let everyone know that I'm stepping down as a GM...so DM Proteus won't be available as before. This is because I'm buried under work and exam preparation at the moment and I can't see it getting any better for the forseeable future. Some of you may have noticed that I've hardly been in game over the last few months except for some of the quests and I've always felt that its important for GM's to be a real presence within the game through their own characters as well as through their gm avatars. I was having problems doing this.
So I've decided to concentrate on my characters and hopefully I'll be able to spend more time in the game between work and study from now on

NOOOO!!!
*sobs* Now i gotta find another favourite DM.
Ah well, i'll see you in game when you have time.
(also on a side note, i feel sorry for new character submissions, cause since i started in August, you seem to be pretty much the only person that approved regulary that i noticed. Hopefully the other character DM's do more now, without you around to do everything for em.) | | | | |

Good luck Steve. I've enjoyed your quests, but RP with your PC's are just as fun.
