This is a read-only archive of the Gateway Roleplay forums as they were on Oct 22, 2026. Posting, reactions and logins are disabled.

We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?
After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.
This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.
Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.

Hey y'all, we should hopefully have a newsletter out in the near future! We're chugging along with work for next lore, despite how busy we've all been.
In the meantime, the forums are slowly but surely updating for What Lies Beneath. We've also finally gotten around to doing our much-needed rule rewrites. You can take a look at what we have now (nearly everything except the new combat rules), but we'll officially announce it in the newsletter.

Everything WWB has been archived in this subforum. Just like the other archives, you can still make new posts and edit your old posts. We've just moved TTB into the spotlight. Moving to a new lore after 3 entire years definitely feels weird!

Posting this here as well: we recently posted our sixth newsletter! Check it out for updates on how TTB's development is going.

Applications are now open for What We Become: Survivor Stories, a series of bite-sized scenarios meant to test our new and improved combat system in action! Our first wave contains 5 different scenarios, all taking place within the What We Become universe. If you've been waiting to play on the server, now's your chance!

You can find the application here: https://gatewayroleplay.org/form/what-we-become-survivor-stories-character-application.15/select

A reminder that applications for File #4: Manhunt will be open for the next two weeks when we resume our combat tests. Feel free to apply if you're interested! Manhunt allows for a lot more customization of your character (abilities, weapons, etc.) than previous combat tests, and we're excited to see what everyone comes up with.

Details on File #4: Manhunt can be found here: https://gatewayroleplay.org/threads/file-4-manhunt.1550/
The combat test will be taking place September 9, 2023, @ 7:00 PM EDT with the pre-load time beginning an hour earlier.
