≫ 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.

Title: Kaari's Backstory

So, some context; my character Kaari's backstory involves some superstition and mythology of an indigenous people. A holy macguffin was taken from them, and her entire trip from South America to New York is essentially to get that macguffin back from the man who stole it. Due to the timing of the Red Eye outbreak, she basically believes the reason the dead are rising is because the gods are angry. I could go into exhaustive detail about her beliefs. Now, I wrote that with the intent that it was coincidence. I didn't know trolls and such were running around. Still, the option is there if you wanted to use it, which brings me to my ticket issue.

The last clue Kaari had about the macguffin in question is that the man who stole it, a Professor who worked with indigenous tribes, worked at a university in New York. At this time, Kaari and Constantine are taking a road trip to Bartertown, with a pit stop along the way at said university. The way I was assuming I would play this was for Kaari to find some evidence of where the man lived, maybe. An evacuation notice to a particular place. Or maybe a receipt of sale of one macguffin to X group. More breadcrumbs to follow, keep her strung along. I was initially going to leave all of the details vague, but if there's some way you all wanted to incorporate this into the greater storyline, that would be neat.

So my simple ticket request is, did you want to use Kaari's backstory for a thing?

I am down for that.
Are you wanting to roleplay your little search out in Discord with Constantine/me, or would you rather me PM your results ahead of time and you handle it yourself?

I checked with Constantine and we'd be up to roleplay out the search in Discord.
