| 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.

Let this be a real-life lesson to those players who shriek at others for "Bad RP" when every single freaking person they see jogging by doesn't stop and talk to their characters every time they run up to them and *demand* their attention. I don't see any of those passerbys in this video stopping and talking when the avatar-guy runs up to them. In fact, it appears as though the average stranger walks a little bit faster and in the opposite direction when random weirdos approach them. In game, I've even took the time to say "I'm sorry, but I need to be somewhere and I'm late for an appointment" and had other players blast me with OOC tells "OMG, this is still an RP server, you *have* to talk to me *now*! You're so horrible at RP!" because I wouldn't drop everything just for them and cater to their megalomania.
Now one could say "oh well, this example is totally different. We're in a modern society and that guy is dressed like a freak". I would reply that at least this guy isn't running around with a sword in his hand and covered in monster blood, so comparitavely, he's really not all that weird compared to the average adventurer.
Back on topic though, this is a great video and the looks on all those joggers' faces are just priceless. |  |   | | The Following 5 Users Say Thank You to lonnarin For This Useful Post: | | |

A harness, a camera, a visor, batteries, and a potential for slightly altered depth-perception.

I believe you would have to build it yourself.
