≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪

  • 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.

What sort of authorization do you want?
Background Contacts

Which background contacts would you like to request authorization for?
What contacts if any stemmed from his arms company within the CPF as mentioned in the bio of my application?

[Matthew was a former business owner within the town, had been the creation of the coalition. He was a key figure in the weapon, ammo, and armor trade market within the CPF. Known for the fact he set up a lot of the logistics of that specific trade in the region. People who've met with him directly are rare and photos of him are rarer. His company is named 'Jack's Armory'. News went out in the later months of 2028 that Matthew had retired, rumored to be somewhere in the barrens. Gary having been a close friend and front of house for the company.]


Since he's missing his leg and stuck with a prosthetic, one he's tinkered on for years now and has grown used to.
How did it come to happen?


A group out of respect let him walk away from the business and could possibly come to ask him back for one last job.

[ Some wonder how he lost his leg during his time in the coalition and few know what really happened. Some have speculated a factory incident while others conspired he was apart of some secret team. Unfortunately he's never spoken of it. ]

I've left a lot open ended so it wouldn't be a problem either way, but would like to confirm what has actually happened. Feel free to ask me to elaborate as this is something I've been stewing on.

You would have contacts within the CPF Rangers, likely with the Chief (Larue Monroe) as well as the local quartermaster and tech-smith (Dwight Kilean). Atop of that, you've no doubt done business with those in Kali's Trade Emporium, as well as probably have decent standing with members of the council due to your time as a weaponsmith.

As far as your leg goes, I need more information on it -- stuff like that ultimately falls on you. If you have any specific suggestions, drop 'em on me. It could be a factory accident or anything, you could've wronged someone in the upper-ranks of the Kali Trade Emporium. Anything, really. World's your oyster in that regard could've been lost in the conflict between Fairpoint and Pittsford prior to the formation of The Coalition, too.
