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. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

Default RP'ing Deep Gnomes and other underdark Races...

So i am assuming that as far as the underdark goes as long as things like home town names etc as long as we remain consistant anything goes as long as it fits? Like for example if I were to tell someone my home City was roughly translated as 'The Place of the Perfect Ruby' or Rubyholme as long as I was consistant with this (or not I guess for those inclined lol) it could be true? Or are there sources such as Ozymandias, Leanther, Edthekat etc that could give a more exact indication of what some Deep Gnome / Duergar / Drow cities are actually named?
Also I am Playing my Gnome as a sheltered Lass os some privilage who only really left her city once and got captured by Duergar Slavers, so I am treating even the sun as a new experience only previously read about in a book. What would be some of the more common animals she would have experience with in the underdark? Like what foods would a DeepGnome be familiar with etc?
Would they have a Cave Lurker for a pet rather then a Dog? Any help would be greatly appreciated in order to properly flesh out my charachter and perhaps help others flesh there's out.
Peace
Den

Well, there are not many deep gnome towns to go around. Why don't you write me a description of one and we'll see
