| 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!

|  I'm back learning to RP with the best!
While I am reflecting on my ignorance, death, and near miss with the Soul Mother. I thought it might be a good time to leak out some insights about me as a person.
My kids consider me from an older generation and older than most that are playing here on Layo..gray hair, not blue and still some left! OH yeah and two grandkids.
My first experience with PW's and whatever other acronyms exsist out there, was here on Layo...because it sounded friendly. I was leary at first and very unsure about "gaming on line", thought it was for geeks and kids.
The people here have made it easy to play, RP and burn and slash as well.
I got to play for about six months before RL "stuff" happened and my gaming at Layo came to a screaching halt. My computer was stolen, lost my home, nearly my job, and am separated with divorce soon. Sanity was close at hand for months and I found myself missing Layo..more than my soon to be ex.(lol)
I am a social worker for the State (you figure out which one) and the job is often stressful and overwhelming. My view of society and the people in it has started to become only slightly jaded. People in my line of work tend to see all people as we see our "clients".
So..it is my sanctuary here in Layo....it's my, therapy if you will...and I really enjoy myself here. Mind you that I'm just learning about RP/IG and have much to learn..so bear with Me..Lance and Diedra Merrick...if I seem too intense at gathering or crafting..well just kick me and say Howdy!
Coming back to Layo was a natural and I've made cyber friends here, seems silly but that's the way it feels. I feel part of a family here and even though I'm not the most social of people...that's becasue I'm a social worker..?Huh? I mean to say; Well it sometimes is hard to lighten up or open up to others..so I appreciate anyone's and everyone's help with RPing and having fun here at Layo.
I don't insult easy and if I do get insulted, I sulk and get over it..so hit me with your best shots.
The only thing now that can interfere with gaming is flyfishing and that dreaded sleep and eating routine! Se you all IG!
Big thanks to the Staff and of course "L"

Welcome back! I am quite new here myself, but we have already had a chance to meet in game, and I must say, you are doing quite well.
I'm sorry to hear of your recent RL issues, but I'm glad to see you are getting yourself centered again. Keeping yourself distracted with something creative is always healing. Good for you!
After looking at your profile, I just realized that we live just a stones throw (or max ride) away from each other! My family and I live in the Aloha area. | | | | |
