How do people get gear in Shattered? Is there any GM interaction to get special gear or anything? My impression of Shattered is that it is just a couple of people scripting 24/7.

I'm about to create my first Shattered character. I've heard there is a place to get spell-ups? Anything else I need to know about Shattered? Thanks.

There is a Nexus that is accessed via all towns where everyone pretty much gathers to de-fry, spell up, etc. In the landing, it's in TSC. Most of us have a nudge script set up to spell up one another.

You might want to check out the official GS discord, they have a shattered channel with shattered players. It honestly seems to be pretty friendly nowadays. It was a circus when Shattered was first released but overall the impression I get is things have calmed down a lot and folks over there are just as friendly and helpful as plat players with the very small playerbase.

The other players in Shattered (and there are considerably more than two), will gear you up like crazy. They have bins just stuffed full of things, and if you ask, they will give you even cooler stuff. I like to jokingly call the place a socialist utopia. Even when they spend tons of real life money on doing, say Duskruin, nobody really needs stuff any more, so they just pool all the winnings together and get their certificates to the people who actually need them. As a GM, it's a crazy and fun thing to watch and participate in. It's a really neat environment. I like to pop in and do silly alterations and stuff from time to time, but for the most part, all the mechanical gear handoffs is well handled by the players themselves.

Well I've been in Shattered for 24 hours now. I think it's pretty cool that one of the player characters in the Nexus has a body alteration to be a robot! That made me chuckle. First couple of hours I just wandered around, and tried to get my bearings. I was surprised when I asked for some help that there were a couple of people at the keyboard willing to show me how to get to the Nexus and find the gear bins. They gave me a lot more advice, but my brain didn't understand most of it.

Looking forward to my new home here!

They actually have very complex scripts parsing out the most frequently asked questions from newbies... :)

Hah! The sad thing is, that could probably be very true!
