| 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!

|  All about DMOE
Well I'm a S.A.H.M (mostly) to my two kids..Natalya (5) and Gwilym (nearly 3).
Before I gave up working to have my kids I was a project secretary for a building company on a refurbishment/extension to a large local store. I presently work part time at weekend evenings in a liquor store. When the kids are old enough I'm toying with the idea of going back to school and maybe training to become a Midwife.
I've been playing PnP for a good 14 years now and about enjoyed playing NWN multi player with my partner until we decided around July 2005 to look for a persistent world.
Being lazy I tasked him with finding a good one and forgot about it till he found Layonara....First character submitted in August 2005 and been here ever since!
Recently I got involved with the testing of the LSPM module to give a little back to the place and I hope to continue to do that from time to time where I can.
I've played a wide variety of PnP systems being always happy to be experimented on by my DM's and one of the things I like about Layo is the PnP feel that the team bring to it where it's actually possible to.
I presently play Ireth Astendor (formerly Telrunya) and Muireann.
I like a wide variety of music and enjoying reading and cross-stitch when my kids and my cat let me. I also enjoy the luxury of being able to play Layo on a laptop, crashed out in front of the TV watching DVD's.

Thought I'd throw up some pictures of my little darlings, Natalya and Gwilym!
The individual pics are from December last year. The joint pic is from some time in 2005.

Mmm, I remember Nottingham fondly. Stopped in a pub there once and had a venison and wild mushroom pie--best thing I ever tasted, including candy and booze. | | | | |
