| 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.

Watch the folks of my old home town get duped on national television.... hehe
Yep I grew up just 2 miles outside the small town of Riverside, Iowa. I went to Elementary school in Riverside and graduated from Highland High School (Riverside and another town Ainsworth combined)
I will be watching to see how many people I recognise and how silly they act.

This is the thing with William Shatner right? It looks pretty good, but I don't know if I'll be watching it. I might catch an episode or two.

For those of you who dont know..... Riverside is the self proclaimed future birth place of Captain James T. Kirk.
Each summer Riverside has a Trek Fest (Beer Fest as most locals call it) with all kinds of trekkie junkies coming from all over. http://www.spiketv.com/shows/series/...D=invasioniowa

One time my cat ate a tribble but it crawled its way back out onto my carpet after death. Resilient little buggers. | | | | |

Well let's see here.
Scott (Scotty) Riggan, His wife Carrol and I used to teach a line dancing class together. I started out taking her class but ended up helping her cause it was allot of fun (hey it was 1993 Line dancing was cool then so shush!)
My wife and I bought our first home (a mobile home) from Scott (Scotty) & Carrol.
Leanne Sexton, My wife used to sell Mary Kay for her.
Wayne Simon - (bare with me here) My dads sister is married to Marvin Simon. Marvin Simon and Wayne Simons' dad (whose name illudes me) are brothers.
Those are the folks that I know from the show... I saw glimpses of others I know and am related to as well 
I have eaten at Murphy's many times (used to be called "The Night Hawk") when the wife and I lived in Riverside.
I'm surious to know what anyone thought of the show.

I caught the pilot on my DVR, it's definitely the funniest reality TV show out there now. I met Shatner here in Orlando a few years ago and yes, he really IS as concieted and "punch me in the face, I need it" as he appears in this series. He can put back a bottle of Jack or any other bourbon in a blink though, and gets hilarously incoherent afterwards.
I think on of my highpoints in this town was him leaning over to me, pointing to knowhere in particular confiding in me... "You.... (long long pause where he gathers his thoughts) Have issues...." Some info for fans, if you talk to him about his writing in Tek War vs his acting, he'll stay twice as long. If you instead buy the man a belt or 6 of the good stuff, he's a friend for life.
I think the funniest part of the series is that while this tiny town is obsessed with him, he's really a diehard Canadian. He admitted that the fast food joint he frequents the most is Tim Hortons coffee and donuts. Although I met him at a 4 star steak house, he usually eats at small diners and java joints more than anything.
Buy the man a couple shots of whiskey, he'll recite you his past 5 autobiographies... guarunteed! Good people. | | | | |

Perhaps he'll start singing songs from "his" album, "Has Been", now, instead of recitation. I keep wondering when Galaxy Quest the Series will take off...
