| 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.

I love you, Stephen. That just made my day even better than it's already been, and it's a darn good day.

I'll never let you live this down, now

Heart me all you want, the pain I will force you to relive ain't going nowhere :P
Oh, I need embarassing stories to fuel my ultimate weapon of mass Stephen destruction. Got any entertaining ones?

Nah, that's like dropping a bomb or some other crazy thing like that on my own state to get rid of an enemy. That'd take me too!

Perfect! Potatoes make the perfect weapons of destruction. Let's go buy a ton and throw them at Stephen, then, while shouting blasphemy on Arby's and forum conspiracies.
Unless you have better ideas.

I think ideas of wicked strangeness would work quite well.

Potatoes? Would that be the Loaded Potato Bites, Curly Fries, or Potato Cakes?

I've got plenty of embarrassing stories. Let me type them up.

The loaded potato bites have bacon. Sorry, vegans of the 'net. Though our cooking oil is 100% corn oil.
Just think of the spawn-camping that manufacturer must do...
Anyhow.
As a kid, I was something of a kleptomaniac. I was also part of the chess club. Now, the chess club had a little tournament in an old card shop, run by this old guy... And, off to the side, was a little coke machine and a bucket of candy, with a styrofoam cup beside a stack of other styrofoam cups... Only, the one apart from the rest had "$$ change $$" written on it, with coins in there corresponding to the prices on the bucket of candy.
Clearly, this was the treasure trove where hid the money for that candy in the bucket.
Oh, I didn't care about the candy. Nope, I had my priorities straight. I wanted that money. So, when noone was looking, I took fifty cents from the cup, bought a can of grape soda (still my favorite), and then... Trick of all tricks... Nabbed the cup itself.
Hey, styrofoam. It keeps stuff hot or cold, right? Brilliant idea! That would be my cover, and it was. Sip out of my real-live, frosty-cold grape soda while giving the cool, calm cover story of wanting to keep my real-live grape soda frosty-cold.
When the owner nodded to me, grinning, I nodded back with a flush and a muttered statement about "keeping my drink cold." Did he know, somehow, my dastardly plot? (And the fact that I'd slipped a Pokemon booster pack into my back pocket.) Surely not! My story was airtight, and there was no way he could've seen the swipe. He had been out of the room!
Not wanting to push my luck, though, I beat a hasty retreat to the restroom, where I emptied the coins onto the counter to briefly count them, and then stash my ill-gotten wealth in a pocket. And then, I looked into the mirror...
To see "$$ change $$" staring at me in reverse, from the outer side of my "cooling device."
Needless to say, I was mortified, and hid from the proprietor of the shop until my father came to pick me up after the meet.
I think you could say I failed my Sleight of Hand check... My Bluff check... And my INT check, to boot.

Passed the sleight of hand, just failed the Bluff. And rolled a natural one on the INT

Way back when I was in highschool and working at Blockbuster, my nametag said "Dark Overlord". Had a fun manager there who couldn't care less, and the customers always got a kick out of it. Her store policy was to treat every customer as you'd like to be treated yourself... until they're rude, then you can treat them exactly as they treat you on the spot.
I remember this one time a heavily psychotic and shrewish old lady came in who was notorious for being practically feral came in to browse and complain again. She did the same routine every week... come to the store, look around, complain about EVERYTHING.. (carpet not vacuumed, bathroom dirty, signs "hidden" etc), ask for movies starring "that guy", and try to barter over the prices. She never actually rented anything that I can remember, just kept showing up every week and hassling us. So one time when she was on her tirade shrieking "this is horrible! You're not getting ANY of MY money!" holding up her purse and wagging it at us, I snapped and went wild-eyed to start messing with her, being every bit as psychotic and undecipherable as she was. I started screaming "NOOOO! We NEED that money.... GIVE IT!" and she started shrieking back "NO! You get NONE OF MY MONEY! NO!" So I dropped to my knees and started pounding the floor with my fist in the classic pose of a comic villain been thwarted. "NOOOOO! Without that money our evil plot will never reach fruitation! The Master will punish us all!" Then she started screaming all the louder "the customer is always right! the customer is always right!" over and over again like it was some kind of magic spell to destroy me. I responded by picking up a candy bar, opening my wallet for a dollar, and purchasing it myself... then gloating maniacally at her "ahahaha HA! I have siezed the POWER! Now I too am a customer... TWO PLUS TWO IS FIVE! TWO PLUS TWO IS FIVE! The skies are GREEN!!! AHAHAHAHAH!".
At this point she asked to see the manager, who was in the back room listening, laughing her butt off. When the lady complained to her, she went blank faced and said in a monotone voice... "mustn't displease the Master... Dark Overlord's word is law!" The old lady kept trying to complain, but the manager just kept repeating the same thing over and over, pretending to be brainwashed. Finally, the old lady screamed "FINE! I'm LEAVING!" and left the store for ever and ever. It was the happiest moment of all our lives. | | | | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to lonnarin For This Useful Post: | | |
