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 The Anglo Dutch Translation Guide.

Something I got from a 'Pitfalls in English' course I once had (every employee at my company gets this, regardless of how good or bad their English is)
What the British SayWhat the British MeanWhat the Dutch think it means 
I was a bit disappointed that...   
I would like to suggest...   
Incidentally...   
It was a pity that...   
Oh, by the way...   
Perhaps you would like to think about....   
 I am most upset and cross.It doesn't really matter. 
 The primary purpose of our discussion is...This is not important. 
 This is an order. Do it or prepare to justify yourselfThink about the idea, but do what you like 
Could we consider some more options.I don't like your idea.They haven't decided yet. 
I almost agree.I don't agree at all.He's not far from agreement. 
I hear what you sayI disagree and don't want to discuss it furtherHe accepts my point of view. 
I'll bear it in mind.I will do nothing about it.They will probably do it. 
I'm sure it's my fault.It's your fault!It was their fault. 
Please think about that some more.It's a bad idea, don't do it.It's a good idea, keep developing it. 
Quite good.A bit disappointingQuite good. 
That is an original point of view.They must be crazy!They like my idea! 
That's not bad.That's good or very good.That's poor or mediocre. 
Very interesting.I don't agree/don't believe you.They are impressed. 
When appropriate locally...Do what you like.Do it if you can. 
With the greatest respect...I think you are wrong (or a fool)He is listening to me. 
You must come for dinner some time.Not an invitation, just being polite.I will getÂa dinner invitation soon. 
You'll get there eventually.You don't stand a chance in hell.Keep ontrying for they agree I am heading in the right direction.
