General Discussion / Dear NWN« on: June 20, 2010, 11:19:09 am »
Dear Neverwinter Nights,
I never actually finished your official campaign (any of them), and most of even my favorite modules were left off around 95% completion. No more than a handful of areas from the module project I started were ever done, even though building was the only reason I went PW surfing to begin with. I am a poor modeler and have not given you any shiny new toys like other people have over the years, as with my most valiant efforts I am generally just translating the work of others to work for us. I rarely finish stories, and my scripting in any language is akin to the tourist that greets natives with "the cat is black" and says his farewells as "the cheese is stinky". I only dabbled with your sequel, and even when I poked my head into another PW I didn't speak with another soul. I bought that nice premium module that I heard was very good, but like other very good modules I only got halfway through it, along with that expansion. Expansions. I've found that the things I love most about your sequel are the models that got ripped from it and given to you. Enjoy! I did not get you a card, because I hate cards, and also I don't care for wrapping paper, bows, and in general anyone bothering me, and also I am officially 2 days late. But I thought I would say it anyway. Happy 8th Birthday, NWN! Eight years later you are getting some of the best content since your release. Here are just a few examples of the continued labors of love on your behalf, to cheer you and make up for my own lack of contribution. I did not even count the last patch they labored on for you, and the premium modules that were cancelled but given to the community, or any of the older content that is still in the top ranks! NWShader (Ignore them when they say adding bloom to NWN is like putting lipstick on a pig - they should have said gilding a lily. The possibilities cannot be measured!) NWNCQ NWN Enhanced sixesthrice's pretty tilesets CTP Babylon CEP 2.3 (the new DM tools are crazy!) Senemenelas' Underdark Tileset KotoR Heads SciFi Placeables Worms Fantasy Interiors Sen's Seasonal Workshop (remember when we were trying to make the seasons change dynamically with worms, NWN? That was silly. This is easy.) Community Music Pack Lastly, while I do not have anything of my own that is anything of note, and have not in general added to your lifespan with so much as a font, you must understand that with your kind I am a fickle creature. Drawn to shiny and ever dissatisfied with its empty reflection, I move on and on and on from "games," leaving a trail of open manuals and dusty boxes behind me, bouncing from latest and greatest back to Betrayal at Krondor, Mario, and King's Quest, and, more recently, Lemmings. Forget all the others. You are the only one I have been (semi-)faithful to, and with you are the only characters (singular) I've made that have lasted any significant length of time, even when we are called silly for still caring about a game nearing a decade-old and wanting to do good things for it. Did I say a decade? No, no, you are closer to 5 than 10. Forget all that. So thank you for the toolset, and thank you for Acacea, and happy birthday! The following users thanked this post: Thak

Introduce Yourself / Why hello there.« on: October 19, 2009, 05:30:13 pm »
My name is Ashley, but I'm better known here as Zelda/Ash/Larissa. I'm glad to say I'll be returning to Layo as much as my schedule may let me.
A little about myself.. I was introduced to fantasy at age 7, when the first of the Lord of the Rings movies came out. I'm proud to say my grandma, Serissa, introduced me to it. After that, I got into it bit by bit until about November 2005 when I joined the Layo community. Yes, I'm pretty young at 15, but don't mistake being young for being unintelligent. I know I'm certainly not the wisest or most mature girl, but I do try to understand things to the best of my ability. Also, I've grown up a tremendous bit since I was last a Layo addict, but you can judge that for yourself. Hmm. Let's see. My hobbies include French club (surprisingly, I'm not very good at French :p ), homework, a little more homework, writing, reading, texting (yes, I'm one of THOSE teenagers), and a little softball from time to time. I mainly play one character now, Larissa, as Ash perm'd a few years back. I love playing my little halfling, but I doubt she'll ever make it to a high level like everyone else seems to be these days. And I may have another character in the works. We shall see. Anyways, sorry for the essay here, but it's very nice to be back; I look forward to see all of you in-game.

General Discussion / For My 31st Birthday« on: August 02, 2009, 01:45:27 pm »
I'm going to cut the cord for helping develop the NWN server further.
So, with a fresh new posting style, I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I've had a brilliant time with a great number of you, even the ones I've gotten really into it with. I always thought I'd make a farewell post with the list of everything I built here, because it would feel like some sort of reminder to everyone. It's a bit silly though, as for years and years I've tried to legitimize my efforts to this community, and overly so. I think it stems back to my embarrassing beginnings here... but I'm no pyschologist heh. I enjoyed building most everything I built, and I'm very proud of how V3 turned out. That's enough for me this time. I will always support the MMO team's efforts, and I look forward to the new game. There are a lot of reasons for leaving, and I'd explain them... but the folks I'd really want to understand probably already get it. So best of luck, I'll still be around now and then, in game and on the forums, and Dorg, I'll try not to troll your posts on balance too much. And with one last challenge... the toolset is easy to learn. It just takes time if you're going to make something come out right. Time learning all of the placeables and tile options so you know the brushes and colors to use. But it's not technically hard. I challenge one of you, anyone, to step it up and legitimize all of your scrutinizing comments on the way the server should or could be. Make 10 areas to a new theme, send them to Dorg. Someone, anyone, impress Layonara with something new for others to enjoy. Even if you know it's ending someday, soon or not so soon, who knows... build it because you care for the server today. Take up the torch, as I know there are some people who have wanted to prove me wrong on some things - and there's no bigger crux to it then this. Everything else is just forum posts. Take care all.

Layonara Server / Congratulations Ycleption« on: July 27, 2009, 10:48:03 am »
As the world of Layonara continues to change, so to do our needs and methods. Something that has seen many changes over the years is the process of Character Approvals. While the policies, procedures and expectations have evolved, so too have our means of choosing who approves characters to play in this world. At first it was a position held only by GMs and only those who wished to take on the responsibility. At some point, we opened up the position to the greater community, and in that the application process also evolved over time. Having tried several methods thus far, we have decided to try yet another and directly approach a long-time member of the community for the purpose of having this individual join the Character Approver team, rather than open up a potentially lengthy application process to fill a rather immediate need.
Please join us in welcoming ycleption as Layonara's newest Character Approver. We believe ycleption's time, judgment, world experience and positive presence within the community will be an asset to the Character Approval team and, through this, the world as a whole.

Just for Fun / Just drove my landlady to the hospital!« on: June 24, 2009, 07:03:54 pm »
And not in the manner that you would expect me to either.
She was outside trimming the hedges, and all of the sudden I hear screaming and hyperventilating. The very first thing that went though my mind was "oh great, it's that bloody attack cat again". But no, turns out she wasn't holding the mini-chainsaw hedgeclippers properly and they went wild on her and sawed through half her finger! It was pretty deep, could see bone fractured and all, so I quickly tossed some hydrogen peroxide on it, wrapped her hand in a towel and hot-footed it to the closest hospital with her and her 10-year-old son. Got there in record time; the GPS said and ETA of about 25 minutes, arrived there in around 8-9 minutes. I sped like a demon actually attempting to try and get pulled over so that a cop could give us an escort through traffic, but no such luck. I assume right now they are trying to sew it back together and fitting her with a cast of some sort. Poor lady, but at least I figure she'll remember this the next time the post office decides to be late delivering her rent money! Now I have a blood splattered front porch and a random car in the driveway. Great for dissuading door to door salesmen and non-seasonal trick-or-treaters. The following users thanked this post: Thak

Introduce Yourself / Gweetings!« on: May 28, 2009, 02:29:58 pm »
Hello ev'ryone, I've been a hardcore gamer since I was three, and have been playing NWN since it was first released.
I've been roleplaying on NWN servers like 'Escaped from Underdark', 'City of Arabel' and 'Arelith-Surface' since 2006, and I think I've got a good grip of the Roleplaying game-style. So, I look forward to meeting new and interesting characters in-game, and I hope I am welcome in your 'close-knit' RP community. ~VTG The following users thanked this post: Thak

Just for Fun / That Which Falls Twixt D And F« on: April 16, 2009, 09:15:27 pm »
On a recent trip to the Deep, Jaelle decided that a fretful Acacea needed distracting, and that she was just the person for the job! She came up with the idea of playing a game with her halfling friend. This was the game they played. (Though the log is heavily edited, cutting out a lot of back chatter and unnecessary emotes)
How would you do at this? *throws down the gauntlet* Jaelle Thornwood: A task for you, small halfling maid: Can you talk without inclusion of that most common glyph which falls twixt d and f? I say that you cannot! *sticks her tongue out at her* **her tone suddenly enticing** But show this woman that what I thought was wrong and you shall obtain a just bounty for your triumph! So, what say you, maid of winds, music and magic? Shall you and I play at this pursuit a bit? I think I shall most viciously trump you! *waggles her toes at her* Acacea Thistletounge: *Her eyes flicker again and she straightens a little, looking with interest again at the illusion* What would I win? And spoil this lark's surprising conclusion? Nay! I shall not say. Play or not ... but it is your only way to know what you could win! I didn't spot any larks... Too far down... *Her eyes glance up again then* A lark! A bit of fun ... halfling vocabulary shows its lack! Alright, alright, I shall show good will and good faith by going first, hmm? Mayhaps you would fancy a story? *Her eyes brighten a little* What kind of story? *grins, knowing she's hooked* Allow a lady an instant or two to think of a fitting topic for my narration. A drama, mayhaps? A saga of a luminary of our lands? Ah, no, I know ... I shall acquaint you with this distraction's history! Shall I go on? Will that do? What sort of history? Why, a history of a match of wits! Did I say that it was this ability that won my husband? His clan in Krashin hosts annual sports of wits. I fought in such sports, amongst many rivals. And so soon a widow? *She shifts her increasingly illusion-fascinated eyes from the separated spheres to Jaelle* Ah, it is truth that you say. But this was prior to that. Do not go too far on, or you shall miss the story! Many from south lands did sail to Krashin for this match, including I. Our first trial that annum was a boasting match. All participants in this match said loudly his most amazing and astonishing acts of valor. Such things I caught wind of! Stunning and startling, miraculous, wondrous or ridiculous ... boasts of all kinds. *Confidingly to Jaelle* Your companions lost quickly. **grins at Acacea* Again, you try to spoil my story's conclusion! Hush, Lucinda's darling! Nay, not Birdlord nor that indigo warrior was with this wit. But back to boasting! I admit also that it is my suspicion that not all that was said was wholly truthful! Still, it was amusing. Indigo... a poor switch... boasting *She nods a few times* I did alright (I usually hold my own with words), though I did not finish in front. But it did gain this lady a spot in round two! Can you fathom what that round was? But what was round two? Riddling? *She asks hopefully* Smart bard!*grins* Good work, aala. Round two was full of that which twists minds: labyrinths of words. No doubt all of you hold an amount of familiarity (and mayhaps also utmost facility!) with such cryptic inquiry play? Naturally, such pursuits afford dull minds a lark! You, child of rascality, worship such fun, I know. Anyways, an hour or two did pass by which saw my rivals and I riddling and puzzling until our poor minds did pound and throb and spasm and twitch and hurt! And it was at this conclusion that I found that I had won my slot for our last round. As I did not think I should attain this last trial of wits, I did know much shock at this. Shall I inform you now of who took part in that last round? Yoa *She cheats* Alright. *grins* First among us was that infamous wizard of Lucinda, Storold. Oh! I did not say what my boast for him in that first round was, did I? Nooo... *Her eyes look shyly up to Jaelle's again at the question* Poor Storold was in awful want of aid--his boast was dull. *grins* So I said that in that span of chronology during which our sky was dark, an unknown but bright young man did flash his torch onto Storold's bald poll. That is, that shining skull so unusually vacant of hair ... and lo, but its rays did carom and fly off that odd mirror of his and light our world again! *She covers her mouth, giggling a little* **she leans in to Acacea, her tone confiding as she wiggles her toes back** That got many laughs ... though not from him! But back to my story, hmm? Anyway, on my right, across from that wizard, was Ahrail'lan (of a most famous Orc Bashing guild, you might know!) And that is all--two only, my rivals!: Gomo, patriarch of my husband's clan, brought forth a man ... this was our third round, naturally. This man, said Gomo, had lost a thing, and first among us to rightly say what it was would win that last round and our witful jousting, that annual match of minds, would find its conclusion. A spray and salt maid of his own? No! Try again! Or shall I just say? Gomo's man did start to say what it was that was lacking and my rivals and I hung on his words ... as did my companions .... Awfully soon I was cognizant of what was amiss. Such a small thing, in truth! I shall say that my companions did not catch its lack ... but I, I had found our solution! So ... what was missing? Do you know? I don't! Mind? Balls? Oft lacking parts, I know... **snickers at Acacea's guesses** Nay, my darling rascal! 'Twas not balls, nor wits! Why, 'twas just that which I avoid now--common's most ubiquitous symbol or glyph! *She covers a laugh with both hands at that* Anyway, I said without thought that which was on my mind, and to much clapping and acclaim I found I had won! And my trophy, you ask? Why nothing short of that clan's patriarch's only son! Momo (son of Gomo) and I took vows that day. Or ... so it would go in any dissimilar land In Krashin, Gomo only took a band of wood and slid it onto my wrist and said his words and it was through! Fathom my shock, if you can! Fathoming! *She eyes their feet suspiciously* **She tilts her head to Abiorn in a "Come play with us" gesture** Join us, gnomish illusionist! Abiorn Rukrym: *steps forward twice* I b... will *squints, clearly in concentration on her words* Know you what my halfling companion and I now shun? Say it not, or you shall not win! *She looks to Abiorn when Jaelle addresses him, eyes alight with laughter at the question* Abiorn Rukrym: *smiles a bit,* I shall not I find it most difficult! I am fond of it *She nods several times* What of you, mask man? Birdlord? Gold dragon's most faithful knight? Will you play with us? Plenarius Ashaley: I think I'm rather late to the game Jennara Creekskipper: [Whisper] I do not know that I am most faithful. Steel: **leans on the makeshift oven** Is it a game I can win? You lost... **laughs** Oh, warrior of navy skin ... If your sword was as dull as your wit, I should worry for you in a fight, for you would lack a tool that could cut all but your most trivial rivals and antagonists! **her eyes sparkle at Steel as she teases him* Navy! A switch most apropos, naturally in comparison to indigo Plenarius Ashaley: That didn't sound like a compliment Steel Steel: If it were compliments I sought after, Plenarious, I would have long since withered from despair. **turning back to Acacea** Anyway ... Our visitors did fancy clan hospitality, though, and took joy in much food and drink until stomachs did groan in outcry and complaint. And that is my story of how I was knit to Gomo's clan and found a husband from Krashin's north. *grins* I think it is your turn now, halfling ... And as for widowing?? That is a story too ... but not for today. I will put forward a proposal: during this sport, I call upon you to accomplish an additional stunt of wits. I hold in my pack a commodity of curious worth—a doodad, a thingamajig, a whatchamacallit ... say only its alias and it shall pass to you! But mind, say not that which you and I vow to shun, or I shall maintain my hold on your bounty! What say you, hmm? Will you play? The "game" went on for nearly an hour, progressing into a guessing game where the participants had to guess an item that Jaelle held in her pack. Acacea eventually won ... though I won't say what the "bounty" was! If you wish to know, guess for yourself ... but do not fail to shun that which falls twixt d and f!

General Discussion / That's Sergeant Party Leader To You!« on: April 07, 2009, 02:39:39 am »
I've been playing around with bits of the graphics for a while just for the heck of it. There's been some stuff that's awful and a lot of things that are so-so, but I made one a few days ago that I think is actually pretty cool and worth sharing. I replaced the crown symbol used for the party leader with a set of sergeant's stripes. You can see Steel as our party leader below, and the .tga file is attached if you'd like to use it. Just toss it into your override folder (and backup the original just in case).

Layonara Server / Rules, Policies and Procedure Review« on: March 16, 2009, 03:06:24 pm »
Over the past few weeks the teams have been spending time analyzing all of our rules and procedures.
Some have needlessly languished as archaic solutions to problems that we experienced as a very active community. Some have always been difficult situations where making everyone happy was not possible. Some were even probably mistakes on our part to institute, harming the majority of the innocent players for minimal actions of the guilty. Some bog down time for GMs to police and thus hurt their ability to create meaningful moments for the players. Some bog down our teams with administrative overhead that could be better spent on making the world more fun. To this end, as we reach definitive conclusions on our reviews, we will be announcing and rolling out these changes. This may take some time yet still, but there are some that we have quickly agreed can be adjusted and there's no reason we should not implement them right away. As always, we will listen to your feedback. I can tell you right now that threads and posts on these forums by community members are continually referenced in our discussions. As a final note, our focus on these adjustments have tried to aim particularly at having the existing community enjoy Layonara more and welcoming new members to have as much fun as they can.

Layonara Server / Thank you for your continued support.« on: March 04, 2009, 05:04:28 pm »
I just wanted to take the time out to thank everyone for their help with the server fees. When I set up the donation tracker I was honestly not sure how well it was going to fare but every month the support is continually met, and typically within the first week of the month.
I said at the time of setting up the donation tracker that the server was staying up regardless of financial support from the community, but any and all help is always welcome. It was asked to provide some assurance to the lifespan of the NWN world as a respectful thank you for the donations provided and while I can't foresee the future I just wanted to reassure everyone we have no plans of putting the brakes on NWN. As a matter of fact there are quite a few things in the works with the major plot and side quests which will be realized through NWN. Chongo, with some help from Script Wrecked has been continually trying to expand and freshen up the modules to add some spice for our existing community and new opportunities for our new users. There's not a day that goes by where members of the Layonara Studios board don't talk about something NWN related. While yes, our central focus is on the next generation, we cherish our roots and love that there are still the remaining users who hold Layonara's fantasy close to their hearts. NWN Layonara is certainly not perfect. I appreciate everyone's acceptance of the limitation of the teams and your ability to shrug off some of the issues that arise. We are trying to spread ourselves as best as we can to secure an entertaining and lasting future and still have an enjoyable break from some of the grinds of the present. Take care and have fun! -orth The following users thanked this post: Thak

Introduce Yourself / Hi from a complete newbie to Layonara...« on: January 14, 2009, 01:38:41 am »
Hi everyone,
My name is Steve Maurer, as you might have already noticed by my account, unimaginatively named "Steve Maurer". I am a compete newbie to Layonara, and a nearly complete newbie to Neverwinter Nights, having missed the PC game while off having a life(*). (*) Which among other things means having a smart and beautiful wife, who I love dearly, but is not intensely enamored with RPGs. My story: A long time ago, I was very much into role playing games. When I was a teen, the California Bay Area was a Mecca of Roleplaying game companies. Combining my natural pushiness and writing skills, I became involved with a number of them. I playtested Gloronthan Runequest with Greg Stafford, Call of Cthulhu with Sandy Peterson (before he made his money with Doom), convinced George MacDonald to put some new powers into Champions (which became the Hero System) and wrote scenarios for Hero Games, played Cyberpunk with Mike Pondsmith in Berkley, and wrote up some Secret Societies that got into Paranoia (I met the West End games staff at a Con). Tiring of the Chaosium never delivering HeroQuest, I went and wrote my own and published it on the usenet; you can still find it out there. The only D&D stuff I ever did was generic. I wrote a single article, called "Pitfalls of GMing", that got published in the Dragon. But that was about it. (And a long time ago - I don't expect anybody is going to recognize any of these old games or gaming companies.) I already told you the end. I got married, became a dad, moved away to clean, rainy, wild, Oregon. What little gaming I did was not pen and paper, but by myself on console systems. I'm probably older than a lot of you, but if you don't hold that against me, I promise I'm a pretty good gamer, all in all, and a lot of fun to play with. I'm hoping to just be a player here. At least in the real world, I always ended up being roped into being the GM for some reason. Some time in a week or so, I'll submit a character with a long background. (Warning: I do like to write.) Anyway, thanks for your time and attention. The following users thanked this post: Thak
