| Roleplaying Discuss tips, resources, and concerns with roleplay both inside and outside the Layonara community. |
| 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.

I don't really know a lot about rouge, but I'd say don't get caught up in the stereotypes. Sure, some people insist that you have to shoot for the cheeks, but you can be your own boss. Go for the forehead if you want. Start a new trend. Do it your way. | | | | |

| RE: RP'ing a rouge?
Im just worried it will go over the top, I mean if we have to much rouge and breaking from the norm out there where will it ever end? Will there be a guiild devoted to it next? I shudder to think... | | | | |

| Unlike a paladin a rogues class doesn't need to be their occupation. You could be the fantasy version of a security expert, prankster, thief catcher, kleptomaniac, locksmith, spy, gentleman thief (like the thief from the first Pink Panther moviw), good outlaw, orphaned streetwise kid etc...
Think less class and more personality. Decide on his background and basic personality and it should become clear which one fits you. | | | | |

Ah, the old Rogue/Rouge gag.
I remember when I was bored enough to poke fun at that.
Oh, and... Er... What he said. (Rogues are the ultimate class in terms of possible variety; you could have Nimble, the Thief {Dead Gentlemen, anyone?}, Pyyran, rogue in the classical sense of the word, or even Conan the Barbarian. He was a 1e Thief, y'know. Bloody well near anything can be played from the Rogue class, so long as it's nonmagical.)

| RE: RP'ing a rouge?
and then there are the multiclassed rogues, such as the wizard rogue circus performer, while mind you most illusions work better in Pen and paper, it can still be fun to roleplay them out in Layonara
