Yeah, there is no end to this joke yet, but if you pop along to Distant Shores it's highly likely that you'll stumble upon it sooner or later!

Distant Shores is a Pan-Historical Roleplay set in a new world, known to the citizens as Terra Nova.

The premise of the site is that people from all times and places throughout Earth's history have been transported here by some unknown means. The only thing they do know? That it's up to them to survive on their own.

All technology has been petrified and is nothing more than useless hunks of stone, anything vaguely resembling mechanical parts has been rendered useless. The only defence that the citizens of Terra Nova have is whatever they can craft in this new land and what feeble alliances they can muster with their charm and wit.

Distant Shores puts heavy emphasis on four main things, a strong friendly community, historical accuracy, realism and creativity. We'll allow just about everything as long as it is well-reasoned.

So, even if you're not a history buff (modern characters can be played!) pop along to Distant Shores and have a look around!

Who knows...there might be a little 17th Century Pirate hiding in your mind somewhere, ARRR!
