Introduce Yourself Take the time to say hello and introduce yourself and maybe ask a question or two.


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.

Well I must say that this has caught me by some surprise!

I have been playing MMORPGs since EQ and have been active in EQ2, SWG, CoH, WoW and now LOTOR.

All the while struggling to find RP that goes beyond going to the local designated spot and posing and talking about how angst filled everbody's character is.

People in MMORPGs seem to think that is it. That is what RP is. I am looking for that, but then I am looking to go out and adventure in an RP world. Sure it is fun to go back to the local tavern and have a few tankards and talk about adventures. But I kept wanting more.

For some reason I always thought NWN was a Vampire: Masquerade setting and I never looked into it.

So as I am struggling in LOTOR to create a Storyteller kinship that takes players on adventures that have little to nothing to do with the quest system, one of the people in my kinship (fed up with the RP in LOTOR) says they are going to take a look at NWN.

Imagine my surprise when I find out that I do not have to re-invent the wheel!! Here it is.

Or is it? What is the downside here? The screenshots seem to indicate that the graphics are as good as the MMORPGs I am playing in.

It is RP based. GM driven content. Problem solving, mysteries, players can effect the world.....

What else is there? What am I missing? Where have you been all my life?

[cynicism]The downside is that NWN is an old and dying system thats more restrictive mechanically then others you may have encountered.

If you're willing to put up with that then I think you'll be content here. [/cynicism]

That said, I wish you the best. Its fun here
