| 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.

All these games are basically all about the same type of stuff. Vote for all the ones you've played (any games consisting of magic and Middle-Ages weaponary qualifies. You know, fantasy games), and add your own options.

I added a few options from the Commodore 64 days for us *ahem* older guys. I could even throw in some Atari 2600 titles, but that would be silly.

I remember playing some great games on an Amiga. Faery Tale, Dungeon Quest and I even played some of the first fantasy type games on the ZX Spectrum an Texas Instrumenst Ti99 , now Im showing my age...Now where did I put my pension book?
Over the years though, I think that Baldurs Gate had to be my favourite, as it allowed you to do so much.

| Guild wars had too much hype added to it, then in the end it had one month duration for me to be honest. Maybe more, maybe less.
Spellforce was a great game for me! Better than before I knew about Layonara online, I was amazed by the graphics and how you could zoom in and be in the heart of battles!

| Wow, Ti99. I had one of those when I was a kid. We didnt have the ability to save games though, so every time we wanted to play, we had to enter all the code for the game before we could play it. Fun times.

Wow I've played most of these games. My favorites from the games you've listed are;
Wizardry IV: Throb in the Heart of Darkness - This has got to be the hardest RPG ever made. To this day I've yet to see the best ending.
Ultima V: My favorite Ultima game. This game changed the way I judged RPGs, and to this day I still use it as a standard for all RPGs that I play. Ultima VII isn't too far down my list of favorite RPGs, but I like this Ultima more. I didn't like the real-time combat in Ultima VII all that much.
Temple of Elemental Evil: One of the best, if not the best, DnD cRPG games ever made. I really love the battle system in this game. I thought Troika did the best job in porting over the DnD rule-set to a video game.
Daggerfall: Sure this game is a buggy mess, but I was able to look past all the bugs and enjoy this game. I still play this game from time to time. I felt that Morrowind was a step backwards from what Bethesda did with Daggerfall. IMO, Daggerfall will probably be the last great game from the TES series. I've lost all interest in Oblivion. The GPS system amd removal of Staffs as melee weapons was the nail in the coffin for me. | | | | |

Elder Scroll and Morrowind are one and the same... well technically. Unless you mean Elder Scrolls 1 & 2... | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
