| 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.

Greetings to all,
Just wanted to say Hi. I came across this site while looking up information on character sheets, of all things. I just recently purchased NWN and have been play nonstop since. I have always wondered what it was like to play in an online community and this one seemed well established and friendly, I thought I would give it a shot.
A little about me; I am 40, played DnD back in the 80's. Haven't really had time to play pnp DnD, so resorted to playing all of the pc rpg's.
Any suggestions on what to character to play? I've been thinking about a human barbarian or a half elven ranger. Is there a need for something specific?
Looking forward to playing with you guys!

First of all...welcome to Layonara! We hope that you enjoy your time here. In terms of your character, I think both of those choices are viable...although I myself have a heart for elven blood.
Do remember you can have up to 6 characters here so who knows you might want to bring your barbarian in at a later stage.
I look forward to meeting you IG. Have fun! |  | | |

Not a half elf. Anything but a half elf. You have to watch this movie.  http://www.atari.com/nwn2/video/Neve...Real%20Daze.wm
There are more episodes at the site. I think 5 so far.
I am just kidding by the way. Make the character however you want and have a ball.

Yes, there is a need for a positive attitude, a desire to have fun, and a willingness to learn and accept some of the communities foibles.
If you possess all three, roll up your character and start having fun.
Welcome aboard.

Speaking as both a character submitter and a character approver, all I have to say is read the handbook, read LORE, read everything you can get your hands on, so you're immersed in the gameworld as you write. It helps immeasurably.
Speaking just as me, I'll say this: this is the best gameworld out there. You are indescribably lucky to have happened upon it. Have fun! | | | | |

Well, what a warm and friendly greeting.  Thanks for all the advice. I think I'll head over and submit a character for approval.
See you in the game,
