| 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.

Darts, but not the kind for the game.

Gotta be Shurikens. I have a friend that no longer lives near by, whose father had a blackbelt and he had a few Shurikens and we'd go outside and throw them at trees. Ah, good times.

I use the darts in-game, but aside from that? Knives. Which are represented by the darts IG.

Shurikens! For style.
I dislike Throwing Axes for a very good reason. Too heavy to carry. 50lbs of weight is an annoyance. | | | | |

Throwing Axes! Carry them around for a while and you'll build up enough strength to actually throw them at someone.  | | | | |

In NWN, Throwing axes are the coolest by far. just look at them fly through the air and stick in something... of course, they are too heavy. It would have been much nicer if you could pick ones you had already thrown back up and re-arm that way...

Darts, totally. I love throwing knives and was upset to see both them and shuriken omitted from Morrowind: Oblivion. In my mind the game would have been much more fun had they used bows for sniper shots and throwing weapons, though shorter distance, should have a better rapid shot. | | | | |

I'd go for the darts with most characters, though Kurgaz would use the axes.
Not that Kurgaz uses ranged weapons like a pansy, you understand

If there was a file to put in override for throwing knives instead of darts, i would get that. The darts just look so bad...
