| 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.

|  Real-Life Alignment
What would your real-life self be considered, alignment-wise, in the D&D alignment system?
(And think long and hard what "good" actually means before selecting it...) |  |   | |

I'm LG. I can't help it. "No! You can't cross the street there! You're not allowed!" "You can't drink, you're not old enough!" And so on.
That's right... I am the Lawful Good BARD.
Incidentally, I'm not allowed to take any more bard levels in my current NWN2 game... I started as CG, but ended up LG. What? What?! Breaking the law is bad!

But some laws...

I'd love to say Lawful Good, because as much as I taunt LG gods, it's the way I'd like the world to be.
Unfortunately, I'm Lawful Neutral. I'm much more deeply concerned with those things that affect me than those that affect the greater good. I can harp on emissions all I want but I drive a V6; I like to go fast. I can wail about garbage dumps near me overflowing but my son is in disposable diapers; I can't stomach the smell of poop and disinfectant I grew up with. And yes, I think people who abuse or neglect children should be punished rather than helped. And sterilized. Lawful? Yes. Good? Not so much.
On the other hand, to my family and friends, I'm very good. Because their happiness affects me directly.
It's not pretty, but it's the truth.

Hrm...I'd have to say Chaotic Neutral. The fact is, I can do some really nice things (Gave a Homeless guy a five or a ten , forgot which, he took it, screamed im going home and UPED AND DISAPPEARED on a lonely street with NO WHERE TO HIDE....I digress) But at no interval and for no reason...and then lets face it...I can be a spiteful &@&#$*@^. ^_^; So Yeah, there's no pattern with me, hence the Chaotic. And I jump between good things and spiteful mean cold hearted things Therefore in some weird way, since I cant do "Chaotic Schizo" It'd have to be neutral.
I do however have the "Rhynn thing" Going though, where I'd yell and scream and complain about something's stupidity, run in to help, and then grumble saying I didn't do a good thing at all Im Meaan! Meeeeeean! *giggles*

I'm definatly NG. I have my moral codes and everything, so it's not like I really ever drop into the "Chaotic" part of the spectrum. I follow the law as well, but I don't agree with quite everything and I do not want to get so attached to laws that I miss sight of the big picture. But for the most part I'm a good citizen.
As for good. Well, let's face it. I'm just good.  That's not to say I don't have my mean streaks or anything, but definatly not enough to drop me into the neutral category (as far as the Good/Evil axis goes anyway). So yeah. Neutral Good.

I'm right on the chaotic side of the Neutral/Chaos line for Chaotic Good.
Then again, I'm right on the Good side of the Neutral/Good line, too...

true neutral for the win. i'm not necessarily good, but I surely won't go outta my way to help normally. i don't break laws to break them, but I don't follow the ones that I don't like [speed limits are for drivers of low skill levels :P] | | | | |

| I always thought the "No Lawful Bards" rule was ridiculously silly, especially when rogues who take cheap shots, break into people's houses and steal their stuff can be of ANY alignment. This is especially ludicrous when Bards are the only characters who can learn the Perform skill, restricted to all other classes! Are we to presume that being able to play the piano lends one to be a rapscallion, soaring in the dirges of skullduggery? I think not! Otherwise history would be riddled with accounts of the day Paganini was caught pickpocketing and Mozart tried to stab somebody with a broken bottle in the midst of a barfight. People would gasp and stare and point at them, warning their friends "watch your pockets around that one, his mother gave him PIANO LESSONS!!!"
On that note, I'm certainly a CN bardarian. I drink heavily, hate cops and beaurocracy, get into fisticuffs with my close friends just when I'm bored, but have an overwhelming sense of charity and refuse to exploit others. My ideal form of government would be a heavily armed mob of vigilanteism, and I seldom hold a job for mopre than 6 months before I throw my boss through the window. I should have been born many an era ago, perhaps the age of the vikings or some crazed gladiator in a pit. | | | | |
