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 RPing Reminder-ish

 Just want to remind, or let people know that when traveling through towns, cities, and villages, large or small there are more people there than just the PCs and NPCs you can see and interact with.
Hlint population is 1'830 people
Fort Velensk has 9385 people
Hampshire has 49'000 people!
Pranzis with 42'000 people!
Lorindar with 15'000!
And Saudiria with 8'500.
 Now I suppose this is open to interpretation, but it's important to remember when speak of "the city sure is busy today" only when there are 5+ PCs in the area, or "not many people here today" when it's just you and one other. Please remember, that you will almost always have half the total population somewhere in the big cities and towns, and possibly even more than the normal population from farmers, trappers, and small town craftsmen coming to the cities to trade.
 Also I have to say (and this is opinion) but, on quests, unless something's attacking directly near you, there's nothing that says you have to jump up at every shout, disturbance, or gathering in the city. Sometimes, it's ok to RP that you don't recognize the person who just tried to assassinate the Duke of X, because he just looks like another one of the hundreds of faceless nobodies you see every day.

It would be awesome if we could populate cities and towns with more peoples... but it would make a lag fest.


It is up to us to RP the populations of the towns of Layo.

More people in Port Hampshire then in Pranzis? Who'd a thunk it. Man, I really hope the gaming/comp technology will catch up soon to enable hundreds of NPCs in a place without the lag so a city doesn't look like "hey there's a guy" but more like "hey buddy have you seen the pawn shop guy" while motioning through the crowd. :P
