| 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. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

Well, I've been on Layo for about 9 months so I guess I should introduce myself.
First of all, My name is Stacy.....(pauses for everyone to go "oh my god...he's a girl)...no, I'm not a girl.
I live in the SF bay area.
I'm an avid scifi/horror fan and still, at 40, love comic books.
I have 3 fantastic kids :
boy 8
girl 5
girl 3
and a wonderful wife of 16 years who thinks I'm a total geek for playing this game. But I played PnP when we met so she knew what she was getting in to.
....married 16 years, not 16 years old.....that sounded a bit distrubing for a minute.
I am in construction and spend way too much time playing layo, but it is my only vice......*ponders* is it a vice? *shrugs* |  |   | | The Following 8 Users Say Thank You to stolen For This Useful Post: | | |

If I had to vote I would say it is not a vice *smiles and winks*
Glad you are enjoying Layo.

Such cute little kids there! It's like starting a goblin legion in real life, LARP Layo, lol! Do they ever get any video game time now that their daddy is a Layo addict?
One thing's for certain, when the youngest two hit 8, then its time to staert running family PnP sessions!

Now wait just a minute! There are many females playing on Layonara. Some of them introduced their mates to the game. Are you making the effort? An available computer and game copy all set up and some joint planning for complementing characters can go a long way. There's nothing like a few rounds in the arena with you to help her realize what fun it is to kill!  Here's to more happy couples playing Layo! | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Serissa For This Useful Post: | | |
