General Discussion / (Yet another) returning player

« on: September 06, 2015, 04:25:22 pm »

Hi folks,

I've been kicking around here on and off for a number of years now and despite extended absences there's something about this place that always draws me back. There's a real appeal about being able to step into a persistent d&d campaign that no other game can seem to match, and once again I felt the call. I'm hoping to finish up a potentially consequential cdq, and get back into exploring the world and its stories again. So if anyone is around on gmt evenings and feels like a little murder and mayhem, give me a shout! Just a couple of questions as well as I've noticed a few changes.

I see that a world campaign has just drawn to a close and I have no idea what happened. Is there a thread somewhere that covers the story?

I saw as well that in game, the player list now reads everyone as 'someone'. I like the new system, but I'm not sure how it works. Is there somewhere I can read up on how to use it?

Thanks all,

Spike

Rumour Has It / The fisherman's tale

« on: December 11, 2013, 12:56:11 pm »

Rumours persist in the drinking establishments of the city of Leringard and its surrounding villages and hamlets, of the fanciful tale of a fisherman of Palden Lake. He apparently while 'night fishing' (though it is noted that his breath told a different tale) oversaw a disturbing event. A shadowy figure with a skull-like head came to stand on a cliff face over looking the water, and stood silently as if waiting. Then (and the account differs depending on the tavern), a man dragged itself out of the lake and began to climb the cliff face to where the first figure stood. A break in the clouds revealed that its skin was greyish-green, and hung off its elongated limbs in folds. When it finally reached the top it faced the skulled figure. No conversation was heard, but a after a few moments both vanished into the night. A fanciful tale for a dark Seplar night.

Rumour Has It / Into the undercity

« on: January 24, 2013, 10:39:52 am »

Word is sent out to familiar names and acquaintances that the shadowy mercenary named 'Jay' is looking to organize an expedition into the foreboding depths of Leringard undercity. Promises of uncovered truths are made, but only to those deemed worthy. Those who wish to answer the call should make their way to the Leringard Arms Inn and Tavern, and await further word.


//Hey folks, hoping to organize a trip down the undercity for some bashyness and RP (more to be explained if it happens). Thinking that Sunday would be best, around 8pm GMT, though I'm happy to change it depending on interest. All are welcome though someone with thief skills is needed to get past the first door.

Just for Fun / What a natural 20 should be

« on: May 05, 2011, 12:15:24 pm »

Just found this on a random forum post.

-Roll to climb
-20
-"You launch yourself up with such incredible force that you end up in the stratosphere, roll for falling damage."

-Roll to hide
-20
-"You can't find yourself anymore. Make another character"

-Roll to Pickpocket
-20
-"You now hold the man's heart. He dies and the guards are aware you just murdered someone."

-Roll to use a rope to tie up a prisoner
-20
-"It can never be removed by any means. You're a horrible person for doing this to someone. When the prisoner dies, the rope continues to bind their soul, resulting in some kind of freaky incorporeal undead that hates you."

-Roll escape artist check
-20
-"You find yourself in the astral plane."

-Roll to bluff guard that you're taking over his shift
-20
-"You've convinced yourself. You spend the rest of your life as a guard."

Just for Fun / Procrastination...

« on: March 31, 2010, 07:25:17 pm »

Procrastination... I love it so.

It's almost half past midnight here, and I'm staring at my computer screen with dazed eyes. My essay is due in just under 12 hours and I still haven't finished it. I stupidly got Mario kart for my DS yesterday so I'm picking it up every half hour or so and racing away. And now I'm writing a random thread on Layo, and after that I'm going to go look up procrastination on wikipedia... ohh the irony *facepalms*.


So tell me folks, whats your biggest vice when there's work to do?








Ohh, and if anyone could give me roughly 800 words to finish off my essay I'd appreciate it .

Rumour Has It / Development in the Gloomwood caves

« on: February 23, 2010, 03:27:50 pm »

The cave is dark, dank and unpleasant. An aura of nausea envelopes the place, the few bloated ogres who lurk outside have obviously suffered the effects. But they are only rotting corpses now, soon to be fodder for the carrion feeders. A heavily armoured man wrapped in a dark cloak stalks through the cave, though unusually for him there is no villainy in his goals.

He calmly smashes slimes and molds that have taken on a new life with the flat of his blade. The stench seems not to effect him, nor the gore and foulness that drips from his sword. A slight rattle causes him to turn sharply. A giant malformed skeletal creature rushes him in its deathly silence. Bone shatters, shards fly, and a cleaved skull smashes on the floor. He moves on.

He turns a corner and a strange sight greets him. A gargoyle statue? It emerges from the stone like it has been there for years, though knowing this place well he knows this fact to be false. A small chest of gold sits open invitingly in front of the sculpture which strikes a fancy with him. However he leaves it untouched, coin not being his goal. He continues on.

Soon another frozen creature draws his eye. It is similar to its brother though far more grotesque. It radiates a sense of malevolence and evil, the floating image of a skull hovering above it. This intrigues him and he inspects it further. He ponders as to its purpose.

General Discussion / The way we play our characters

« on: January 03, 2010, 08:17:44 am »

I've been thinking (and yes it hurt ).

Recently I read Shiff's post http://forums.layonara.com/general-discussion/256212-fessing-up.html, and well it got me thinking about the way we play and devolope our characters.

It seems that there are two ways we can use our PC's. Do we remain faithful to the characters own personal devolopment or do we focus on our enjoyment? Simple put, if you had say, a netural good dwarven fighter that went through some dramtic unpleasent changes in their life, and the only logical out come was an alignment shift to true netural or even netural evil, would you do it?

This can of course go the other way. With my own character Jehoram (netural evil corath weapon master) I have a particular series of events in mind, that if they ever occured IG, I would follow them up and start to shift his alignment back up the scale to NG. I would then of course retire the character and roll a new one (I avoid good characters the way most people avoid evil ones, call me old fashioned but I need major personaility defects to keep me interested :rolleyes: ).

That said, we play this game for our own enjoyment, and some people (myself included) don't enjoy role playing characters a certain way.

So I'm asking you, what comes first for you personally? Enjoyment or character devolopment? (Remember that there is no right answer here).

« on: July 09, 2009, 10:11:08 am »

Hay folks,

I've always been in the habit of wondering off and then coming back to Layonara randomly. However for a change of pace I thought I might let you know that I wont be around for a month as I'm off interrailing around europe. IC this also means that Jehoram won't be seen by anyone for just over a year game time. I have this little thing going which will explain his disappearance when I get back. Anyways,

See ya! :p

Just want to say thanks to Brando Steele and Ke' Koe Holyaxe for not abandoning me in the kobald caves in silkwood today when my laptop, my wireless box and finally my house blew up. They hung around to make sure my character got out safely. Ohh and also thanks to Alatriel for showing Erath around today.

Thanks lads :p

Quests Ideas and Discussion / Idea for a new type of quest.

« on: August 14, 2008, 09:21:20 am »

Hay all, not many of you know me but I have been playing here on and off for just over a year now. Not really anything to do with my topic...but still it serves as an introduction.

I guess what I'm suggesting here is a new type of quest.

Here on Layonara you submit you character idea, edit it, have it approved and step into a great RP world where you are the hero. This is fantastic and why Layo has such a great dedicated player base. Though the vast majority of people enjoy this, its not for everyone. I refer of course to the Corathites. But not just follows of the mad god, or any evil deity for that matter. The amoral assassin, the power driven necromancer and the ruthless bounty hunter all fall under this category. Not necessary villains, just not heroes. Characters whose only motives are for the benefit of themselves.

So after browsing the calender for a good event to introduce my new character Elder to the world, I came up empty handed. I was unable to find a situation I could see this character taking part in, something he would do himself and not as me just looking for a quest to take do. I would do something myself and apply for the new GM position but I just don't have enough free time at the moment for this to worthwhile. I missed the golden age of the Corathites and now there are to few of us left now to go back to those happier times :rolleyes: , so I'm posting a suggestion for quests designed for evil characters. Something which would allow characters to meet like minded others and strive towards goals that make this world that little bit more unpleasant.

Here are some suggestions that I'm just pulling out the top of my head:

1) A crime lord seeking to hire people to destroy a rival. This would give people the chance to double cross each other as well as the two feuding crime lords.

2) A pirate seeks slaves to sell on the black market. You would need to break into people's homes at night and drag them into an unpleasant future. This would also allow for good players to try to stop the evil ones similar to a quest mixafix ran a while back.

3) An unknown force seeks a noble dead but with the appearance that it was accidental, only stealthy characters need apply!

4) A priest of Pyrtechon wishes for a prison riot to take place so that he may dispose of someone during the chaos. Slay the guard, release the prisoners and then flee.

I think you get my idea. What do you think?
