Layonara MMO Please use this forum to discuss the Layonara MMO.


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.

Default Mounted Combat & Lances

It would be most excellent if there were not only mounted combat, but jousting and lance or halberd modifiers, akin to the advance rules. So when you charge with a horse, somebody could target the horse to bring it down, or try to joust the rider off if they have a spear or lance. Rider vs. Rider combat where we could have actual jousting competitions, protective barding for horses, and various other modifiers to streamline footman vs rider combat and the like. I imagine those with halberds would be devastating horse-killers, and charging knights would have a clear advantage against those with little reach on foot. Also, archery from horseback being limited to shortbows or thrown weapons, spells from horseback, horse training progression should it survive many battles or be a holy steed, etc.

Also, all of the major government heraldy for the campaign world I'd like to see in wearable form. So each city's guards or noble house or kingdom, or holy order could emblazon on their capes chests and banners their alliegences proudly.

Default Re: Mounted Combat & Lances

We have considered mounted combat already and have a few design ideas floating around however there is no plans for including this in the initial release.
