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!

You may have to change your characters to Gnomes.

But that might offend all of the hatches out there. We must find another non-offensive name for it! I say we call everything 'that'. No one can be offended by 'that'. Every person will no be called 'them' or 'they'. This way 'they' cannot be offended when we call on 'them'. That is Political Correctness taken to its logical end. It's ridiculous isn't it?

As one of "them", I personally take great exception to you lumping us in with "they".Â
"They" used to be part of "them", but "they" eventually thought they were too good for "them," and so "they" went and formed their own group. Sadly, "they" tried to retain the prestige of their former association with "them," and in doing so, "they" brought shame and disgrace to "them" wherever "they" went. "They" did a bit of "this" and a lot of "that"...which was ultimately the one thing that "they" should never have done. "They" tried to come back to "them" once, but "they" refused to mend their ways. Mark my words: "they" will never again be allowed among the ranks of "them". Ever.
You'll be hearing from our lawyer.

As a member of "We", "We" take great offense at being excluded from "Them". "We", being a subgroup of "Us", are truely sad that "We" can not be members of "Them" or "They". Please refrain from the exclusion of the global organization "Us" in the future, and do not discriminate against those individualists among "Us" that prefer to be called "You".

'I' am offended by individualists that like to be referred to as 'You'. What makes 'You' any better than 'Me'? 'Who' made 'You' better than 'Me' anyway? 'I' for one think that 'You' should step back in line and be counted like the rest of 'Us'. Any more of this individualist thinking and 'We' will be forced to have our lawyers sue 'You'

Stop thinking for yourself and become one with the herd!

Wait wait wait... the drama production was in PANTOMIME! How can a mime call a dwarf a gnome?!

*shakes his head in disbelief*

Besides, isn't "Gnome" derogatory for jewish and swiss bankers who supposedly defrauded the Bank of England? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_of_Zurich

Apparantly to be politically correct, one must hate the Swiss rather than little people.
