| 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!

|  The Blonde Moment
I flatter myself (and others flatter me) that I am a generally quite intelligent, perceptive person. But sometimes... well, maybe more often than sometimes... I can be ~really dumb~. I'm not talking about rolling a natural one on a sure thing, but about rolling ~a whole bunch of critical failures in a row~, when I really should be getting something. I also include in this category the things I do such as forgetting what I've gone downstairs to do (I'm 21 and I seem to do that a lot more than anyone else I know) and, yes, forgetting to turn the doorknob so that I end up running into a closed door. Since I'm blonde, everyone seems to think it's highly witty to blame such things on the colour of my hair.
So... my ex and I once tried to work out a system whereby a percentage die roll could apply a significant penalty to both intelligence and wisdom for some length of time. Possibly in return for a bonus to charisma, since everyone seems to find it highly entertaining, or possibly just in return for having blonde hair. Anyway, this idea still swims around in my head and surfaces from time to time, and I find that I would really like to work out a reasonable way to apply it to DnD. Not because I actually intend to apply it to DnD, but because... I want to be able to, should the need ever arise (and gods know why that would be).
Thoughts? |  |   | |

It is not so bad being blond. I have done, well call it border line blond stuff. I have forgoten to look both ways while crossing the street out side of a cross walk. *smiles* Poor little honda, who would think 4,000 dollars in total damage would total the car out. Still have the court papers were they sued my parents home oweners and won (Only 14 at the time so they picked up the bill when the car insurance would not).
My bum landed on the hood of the car doing damage to hood and the engin, my back broke the frount windshield, my legs took out the grill and a head light, the back of my head dinted the roof. *grins* The lady soiled herself inside the car, causing damage to the seat and carpet. All why I slid off and land on my feet and walked safty back to the sidewalk. With no injury to my self, except a little cut on my calf. I am thankfull she had the car lowered just a few days before this happened. | | | | |

| Haha, I am blond too and have an eerily similar story. Only I caused 2,147 dollars to a black caddy. Its not my fault, those things have their own gravitationally pull! | | | | |

| I seem too have that problem a lot. Except I run into walls in my own house. I miss a step running down the stairs often. But then again... I laugh while doing it.
I think blonde women are *THE* worst. Clumsy.. forgetful.. clueless.. and hilarious.
I must say... Blondes Unite, Peace Brethren.
