Just for Fun A forum section to lighten your day with jokes, funny links, and things that make you laugh. Keep them clean and remember this is a family server.


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!

Default Spells You Won't Likely See

Some spells made it into NWN. Generally, these are combat spells, but there are a few utility spells that made the cut. Other spells didn't make the cut, because there was no good way to express their game mechanic - spells like 'Speak with Dead'. Besides, it'd ruin a number of the murder plots. And then there are some spells that are just too gosh-darned silly to make it in.

These are the third category.

1. Isaac's Greater Whoopie Cushion - Good for prankster mages, bad when in a temple of one of the more poorly-humoured gods.

2. Chain Lightning-Letter - Take 1d6 electrical damage/caster level, and pass this spell on to ten of your closest friends and relations. Do not break the chain. Bob the orc broke the chain and got incinerated. Or maybe it was the other way around.

3. True Scent - Originally slated to be included, but made superfluous by 'True Sight'.

4. Bigby's Crushing Tactical Nuke - Also originally slated for inclusion, but someone complained that casters were overpowered. Plus, magical fallout is nasty.

5. Tenser's Bandage - Good for sprains. But more of a cleric thing.

6. Tenser's Fermentation - Someone decided that alcohol plus the ability to rend asunder the very fabric of the universe was a bad idea. Who knew? (Particularly in conjunction with #4)

7. Senior Moment - Like cloud of bewilderment, except.. um.. I can't actually remember the difference. Back in the day, we had more clearly defined jokes...

8. Baleful Polymorph - Because the ability to turn other PC's into squirrels doesn't actually mean never having to say you're sorry.

9. Power Word: Play Online Fantasy Roleplaying Game - Bioware hates recursive spells.

10. Bigby's Impolite Gesture - Because even if that oxen-herder DID cut you off, this is a FAMILY game.
