| 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.

|  Hey there!
Nagash Von Ritter told me about this server, and I'm always on the lookout for proper role-playing opportunities that aren't always focused on combat alone so I thought I'd get in and have a look-see.
Just thought I'd say hi, as seems to be the trend. |  |   | |

Hey! Welcome to Layonara.  I see that Nagash's gotten over his initial disheartening, to be inviting more players over. Good to hear.
It's pretty tough, getting started here; I'll be the first to admit that. Acquaint yourself with LORE, and you'll have an easier time of it, though.
Any questions, you can ask here, shoot them to me in a PM, or, well, I suppose you could PM a random other member, too. *Chuckles.*

Thanks guys.
I'm just coming up with my character now, I know just what I want but writing a decent background/bio is taking time. I'm a little more used to freeform text based RP than writing just an extensive bio - I usually make my characters up while I play them, developing the personality and background alongside eachother so it's prolly gonna take me a while to get things going. | | | | |

Welcome. The bios are just for a baseline. So don't feel like you have to define everything about the character up front. Change and growth are expected. Most characters out there are very different than when they entered the world.

Thanks ^^ I've been trying to work out a character for hours, still am working on it though. At least the specifics are asked, no one's said 'make it better' and not given specifics of what's needed to make it better.

We try not to be nebulous about requirements. That's just not fair.
