| 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!

At least they're trying. Perhaps they should drink more beer before doing it...

Hehe...one of my favorite authors (Mary Gentle) admits that she's heavily into this, as well as conventional PnP

This would make an excellent scene for a slasher film. Jason emerges from the woods and they all think he's just another NPC... heheheh | | | | |

| RE: Main reason you should never LARP
actualy the lightning bolt is instant kill so is fireball (fireball sets fire to the ground it sits on so even though its not in the air its still active.. if you step on it you die)... Paladins (the guy hes spamming) are immune to lightning bolt... sad really ... magic ball is considered a magic throwing weapon and will bypass armor but must still take out life points (paladins have many wizards have one) Plus I think the Paladin or black guard (same immunity) is enchanted.. so.. magic is worthless... now if he was a barbarian in rage mode.. one magic ball will kill him no matter where it hits him... Barbarians in rage mode must attack anything enemy they see... except mages... they can back away ... but not turn their backs.. if a mage starts to cast... they can run... and please... never ... ever.. ask me why I know this... | | | | |

ah man, I just took a 2 hour nap and a bunch of LARP people tried to get me to play in my dreamworld. Even there I have the power to point at them, laugh, and scream "LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT!"
Now that's lucid mocking! | | | | |

It might be sad if it wasn't so darn funny. How many "LIGHTNING BOLT!" spells did the dude memorize? And how is it that he can cast them so quickly?
Oh, and always remember to pick up your "LIGHTNING BOLTs!" when you're done with them.

| Not only that, but we all know that LIGHTNING BOLT doesn't just stop when it hits its designated target. He likely fried one of his friends in the process. It's a good thing they weren't indoors, that's all I have to say there.
And really. One lightning bolt each second? Come on....Even if he had Quickened one of them, that's a MAX of two every 6 seconds. Sheesh! *shakes head and rolls eyes* |  | | |
