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 Rules For... - Fantasy Settings!

Alright folks, the name of the game is 'Rules For'. You choose a topic, like "Naming Dark Elves". Then you come up with rules for it, such as...

Rules for naming Dark Elves
1. Lots of 'Z's, lots of 'X's, and lots of assonant sounds
2. Unnecessary punctuation. If you can, everywhere that there's a break for the next syllable, throw in a hyphen, a comma, or an apostrophe.
3. No one will notice that your character's name is one letter away from one of Salvatores. Go for it. What's the worst that could happen...?

Or, if you prefer...

Rules for Dwarven Characters
1. You're a Scottsman, a Viking, or a Pirate. Or a Scottish Viking-Pirate.
2. Full-plate is a fashion statement.
3. Beards. Even if a freak accident involving a colony of shocker lizards, a penguin, and a Paladin of Toran gave you an unexpected dose of electrolysis, rendering you incapable of growing facial hair, you still need a beard. Or a chin-wig.

Have fun!

How about:

Rules for all Halflings
1. You're so full of boundless energy you can't stand still
2. You have to open and peek inside everything
3. You can't ever stop talking unless interrupted by a fight
4. All of your questions start with why and they are endless
5. Anything restrictive -including armor- chafes too much and never fits right
6. Your name may change from introduction to introduction with only a few common terms
