| 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.

Guys, just imagine what it would be like to see this at night....It's the detonation of a fireworks factory, with fireworks still inside. Turn your speakers up reeeaaaaly loud for full effect |-) http://www.jeffiscool.com/films7/FireworkFactory.wmv
What I wouldn't give to be the camera man here 
WARNING: If fireworks cause bad memories, don't watch, alright? |  |   | |

*shudders* Remembering the incident in Denmark last year. Fun goes out when firefighters loose their lives and people their homes. | | | | |

Well, if it involved 26 deaths it would be along those lines. It's from a couple of years ago in the Netherlands. Entire houses were completely destroyed in that blast. And Kapitän Awesome, I don't think you would have wanted to be there at the moment, nothing cool about it.

My neighbour in the house behind me was making and storing illegal commercial type fireworks. It blew up in the middle of the night destroying all the glass and lights in our street. Fortunately it never caused any serious structural damage but we've since found out that only a few of them did explode the others for some reason didn't, however we were all evacuated by the bomb squad for about 12 - 14 hours whilst they sorted it out.
The other thing that amazed me was that no one was hurt except for the teenage son of the man in question who had to be hospitalised for a while, I don't know the extent of his injuries but the father was trying to turn away offers of help from his neighbours and later the emergancy services whilst his son was injured.
Heh it was a bit of a shock really even though I was in the house on the side furthest away from him, actually in game at the time. The explosion blew me off my chair and into the wall.

*shrugs* didn't mean to strike a nerve, I just thought that the video was cool. Is this the same incident, or does it dredge up bad memories? | | | | |

Whew, man steve, that's pretty...traumatizing, to say the least. Perhaps I should put a warning on there...
EDIT: I believe this also deserves an apology...I thought it was nice to watch; I didn't realise that this was a newscast. Sorry for dredging up bad memories  | | | | |

Heh, no problem. But that video doesn't give you an idea of how big that explosion really was.

I believe that's the event you think it is, Filatus, seeing as it says "beelden RTL" in the beginning, and this video doesn't really show how big the thing really was, there was another video which was shown a lot at the time, it was pretty much raining fire over something like 300 meters around the storage. all houses within 2 streets from there got totally destroyed, not funny to say the least.
