| 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!

The Ozy figure, with book and staff accessories; 100 action phrases ranging from commentary about the taste of elven flesh, to snappy remarks about the stupidity of others; and now with awesome blood-coughing capability with life-like hacking sounds.

Be sort of cool if we could request to have our own Layonara characters made...
I'd sure as heck make a Kinai, that's for sure.

For profitabilty you would probably have to pick figures that you could make and sell a large quantity of. Maybe deity action figures made after the T-shirt images or very famous NPCs?

Mmhmm... ear nibbling action. Or has Ozy gotten over that?
As cool as this would be, I'm not sure you could find a big market for it. "Famous NPCs" are not so famous outside of Layo .

More to the point, unless you know a business that makes custom action figures cheaply, the cost of tooling a line would not, in any way, be worth what few sales they'd get. (The quotes I can find online for custom action figures start at about $100 apiece. Not much room for the LayoStores to make money there, particularly when so few people even donate.)
This seems a thread that'd be at home in "Just for Fun", but there's no point in seriously speculating over something that's, unfortunately, not economical. |  | | |

Don't think there's any question on the improbable financial incentive of making an action figure. I will say that if this is to be done, while neat to have your own character as an action figure, it would be much more prudent to have the most well known and famous layonara NPCs. The most notable, perhaps not so much to the newer folks here, but to many, would be an action figure of Sinthar Bloodstone and his generals as well as perhaps Ozlo. A dragon action figure and a relatively cool looking Sinthar I think might appeal to many including those who don't even play Layonara if they were ever to have access to where these figures are sold. This in the long run might even encourage more players to join and expand the world further. But ya, financially, it might be too large of a gamble.
