Penny Dreadfuls, the Perseverance Rover, and things that make you go Hmmm...

The hunt continues...
for adventure!

I have not enjoyed every moment of the journey
nor the hunt
but I have cherished every opportunity that the sea has created

one day this hunt will end
and life will go on
until then,
this experience has been and will continue to be worth the time
the effort, the frustration

there is beauty in every day
sadness and challenge too
appreciation leads to kindness
it gets us through

keep haulin'
keep huntin'
keep seeking
keep adventuring

I'm thankful that you are here.

Adventurers, new to the sea
happy beginnings

may your adventures add life and love to your stories
and your stories connect you to others
adventure is not gauged by skill or status
it is an expression of your freedom as those that explore

it's easier to replace a ship than a good friend
losing is nothing compared to loss

have fun, be silly, embrace thoughtfulness
try out new ways to be kind and creative
your most valuable resource here is your imagination
build castles, chase dreams, or just sail

good luck
your pirate life will be extraordinary

---

hunters, fishers, adventurers, sailors, pirates
may tomorrow bring joy and adventure
appreciation for the beauty of the night
I wish you well, I wish you good luck
I'm thankful that you are here.

---

---

I hope this season leads you to friendship
good times and beautiful experiences to appreciate
bountiful hunting and inspiration to adventure
the great fortune of togetherness

---

Adventurers of the high seas,

thank you for the battles
the thrill, the risk,
the memorable random encounters
I remain fortunate in adventure

I return to the hunt
but I ask that you wander and ponder with this in mind

belief and consistency
belief in consistency

your potential is stronger than the challenges that you face
outcome does not determine your worth
adventure does not require result
genuine effort is enough,
you are worth your effort

good luck and fair winds

---

I spotted a sloop by the name of Always Lost
I'd like to think of it as, always adventuring
a journey between stories
not always clear, but not meaningless

time has not diminished my eagerness to adventure
nor my appreciation for the shared opportunity
I hope it's the same for you

this season has been a joy
adventurers! pirates! thieves! scurvy dogs!
wonderful encounters and battle
thank you

---

Quite a solo grind on the high seas
lot of time, lot of effort
many battles

I am thankful in luck
so much of this has been luck
especially encounters with adventurers

moto with the music sails
a gentleman and a joy to encounter
adventure is stronger with you sailing
you share your stories, and they are wonderful

sphin the pirate
new to the seas and hungry for gold and glory
from the fleet to the ashen winds
fort keys and volcanoes
megs and krakens
I enjoyed our adventure

to those trying to find their way
you have so much to share
the wind will change
the sun will rise
purpose is not an obligation, it is a discovery
-just sailing- is a part of the adventure too
I'm always rooting for your peace
thank you for being around
thank you for inspiring me

community

I've loved adventure since I was young, carrying a stick in the sticks
somewhere along the way I made a habit out of getting in my own way

everything good in my adventuring is because of others
people that inspire me to reflect and evolve
to be kinder, more thoughtful
more accountable and forgiving
wild adventurers with hearts of gold
I miss those that are gone
I'm thankful for those that are around

good luck during your community adventures
I hope they are wonderful
I'm glad you're here

---

---

it's peaceful
beautiful
so I sail

I avoid the storms
spent too much time in those
now, I just sail around them

never been bored
life is too precious for that

we don't choose everything
but we get to choose sometimes

I hope we choose to make the best out of it
while it's still here

---

---

a new season on the horizon
a good time to appreciate the good times

seeing so many new sailors has been something special
hopefully they hold on to their passion for adventure

the seas were mighty active this season
wonderful to see
hopefully it continues on

I'm thankful for the encounters
for the hunt
the opportunity
the privilege of participation

I hope you all find joy during the next season
rewarding experiences
it's still a beautiful environment

good luck
wishing you extraordinary adventures

---

All you need is lava.

I sailed to the east to find shiny bottles of adventure
I ended up finding a very kind solo adventurer

they offered me gifts at ashen reaches
their guild emissary flag
a storage crate of supplies
a few pieces of treasure

and most valuable of all,
a kind encounter with a thoughtful adventurer

I've been allowing adventure to happen for a long time
whatever happens, happens
I am thankful for what has happened throughout the years on the sea

I hope you let adventure happen
it'll work alright
you're worth the effort it takes

good luck adventurers

---

---

---

thank you to those that maintain the sea
thank you to my opponents
thank you to the adventurers, I enjoy this because of you

I have returned with the finest chests of fortune
the shiniest kingly loot that sunken ships could offer
the treasure to me will always be,
the sound of a banjo in the breeze

take care of one another
adventure thrives in shared experience

take care of yourselves
people care about you

oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly
what a beautiful day

to,

peace
healing
recovery
community
love
friendship
adventure

How does one get fourty thousand in Rogue ship milestones as a solo slooper? Quick naps on long journeys?

This has to be the most well documented (organic non streamer) journey in SoT, has Rare ever done a community highlight on you?

@hefty-henri said in Penny Dreadfuls, the Perseverance Rover, and things that make you go Hmmm...:

A lot of play time a lot of dedication and a lot of banjo

Nah but that was never what this was about.

This was never about content or recognition it was just about seeing what happens and seeing how far I could take it while appreciating the opportunity and the encounters along the way.

I wanted to show a different way of doing things and to try to create a resource that some can use on their own adventures. Hopefully something inspiring for someone.

I wanted people to see this as an example of carrying on through the different struggles and obstacles of showing up every day.

I've encountered a lot of people and shared a lot of experiences in completely random scenarios. This was designed to be something that maybe someone would randomly find throughout the years and think "I sank that pirate" "I adventured with that pirate" " I saw this" or "I saw that". "I remember...".

I just wanted to make the best out of it and encourage other adventurers to try to do the same.

This one goes out to a couple of kids that set a strong example for adventure and community.

the sea darkens in the moonlight
tentacles emerge from the abyss
an ancient fin circles
the undead sail

trifecta of terror
a hunter's paradise
october brings the haunted harvest

a lone wolf is the lost wolf
the sailor shares the sea
encounters add life to survival
thank you

be well, or just be
beware the moon

leaves fall
sun sets on the season
hunter's moon rises

sailor's solitude
adventuring with the wind
telling ghost stories to phantoms

trick the doubts
treat life kindly

a cold heart turns to coal
something to lose is a gift
feed the campfire
don't let the laughter burn out

happy haunting

Angus from the roar
thank you for being gracious
I enjoyed the adventure and appreciate your thoughtfulness

Every night is a good night for a ghost hunt.
Be safe and be well, adventurers

sometimes things don't work out as planned
sometimes they do
either way, adventure is there waiting
waiting for you

---

I am thankful for the time I didn't earn
the fortunate outcomes I didn't deserve
the people that have taught me how to be

thankful for beauty
adventure, the sea
kindness, mountains, life

thankful for inspiration
caregivers, guardians
volunteers and protectors
selfless in service

thankful for strength
within those going through it
forgiveness and recovery
help, healing, and hope

thankful for this sea of thieves
encounters and laughs
development, maintenance, and effort

thankful for any peace we find and share
happy hunting and happy holidays

---

Wonderful encounters with a couple duos recently

Doom and Spooky, the gold hoarders from Twin Grove

Bwah and Goat, the merchants from the Reaper's Hideout

We worked on some common goals together.

Both sloops were considerate enough to stop to harvest a couple of megalodons. A shadowmaw and a hungering one.

This is beautiful

---

I haven't loved every moment
but I have loved in every moment
adventure, the hunt, the challenge

I hope your holidays are filled with warmth
I hope you find time to enjoy the opportunity within a day
solo or with your crew

if times are harsh
the days are lonely
and the nights are cold
I'm rooting for you, every day

merry adventures
safe travels to all
and to all a good night

---

may the new year bring you adventure
love, friendship
an abundance of inspiration and curiosity

I'm thankful for the experiences
and the encounters

good luck & happy hunting
