Harbor Assets Workshop

Hey folks! 

As I've gotten into the habit of doing recently, after you all selected the Harbor Assets as the thematic focus for our next Public Assets pack I'd like to open up a discussion for exactly what is included in that pack. Every time I've done this now there's been at least a handful of ideas or individual assets that have made their way into the pack that wouldn't have done so otherwise without your input, so thank you!

What is currently planned for the pack: 

Please note that I will not be including any extra ship assets like those in the Sailing Assets Pack as I already have a patron-only booster pack in the works that will be providing that.

If you have suggestions, ideas, or requests for other things that would fit within this theme please comment below!

Something almost always missing from fantasy dock scenes is bollards for tying up ships at dock. Also gang planks, wheel-barrows (flat type, lookup "brick wheelbarrow"), open crates/barrels packed with salted fish, broken crates spilling fish out, fish-monger carts

floating debris overlays? i would love to make a filthy harbor with all sorts of floating trash , boats cutting thin lines through an otherwise opaque layer of all the crap people toss in the rivers and ocean.

buoys

Fynnmous

Puddles of water on the docks. For steampunk settings perhaps rails (for more modern cranes)

RPGFramework

Perhaps those piled rocks that are there to prevent erosion or flood walls of various sorts?

Maybe "damage" overlays? Like cracked cobblestone or broken planks to show where the docks have taken a beating from something? This kind of piggybacks on Giraffe Mentality's "various stages of dilapidation."

Deranged Derro

I see, thank you for helping me visualize it!

A dray has no sides, and it's low to the ground for ease of loading, and it's usually very heavily built for hauling very heavy loads. From above, it would just look like a platform with wheels on the sides, perhaps with a long center pole that runs up between two horses for yoking.

Bouys are a good idea! I'll see if I can get around to mid-progress ships

I'm not familiar enough and google is failing me; what is a 'dray' and how would it different from a wagon?

Venatus Maps

Larger 'warehouse' crates are definitely on the list now!

Venatus Maps

Ooh! Shipyard assets and partly-constructed ships, various bouy's, wood and stone docks in various stages of dilapidation, various piles of items you'd expect to find at a harbor (nets, harpoons, fish, oars, rolls of canvas, etc.), dock cleats, coils of chain and/or rope for winches, and larger sizes of crates I'm excited to see my suggestion becoming a reality! Thank you!

The Token Traveler

Horse drays (1 empy, others loaded up) for hauling cargo. Maybe warehouses, a harbormaster's shack, coils of rope, cargo: crates, bales, amphorae (jars), baskets, cages. Maybe birds, shark fins for the water, breaching dolphins, 'shadows' of underwater creatures as seen from above?

Singh

Maybe one or two huge wooden crates for use with the crane? I thought about a huge warehouse too, but it might be covered in a lot of the other building packs.

Marine life? Dolphins 🐬 are my personal favorite and they brought good luck to sailors. And maybe piratey assets? Like trees crossed in an "x" or "x" made of debris in the sand?
