≫ 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: Support from the traders that left Monroe

Hey Pika.

You offered to help with Monroe stuff (thank you!) and I thought of something that you might be able to help us with. :)

It's related to the traders that left Monroe, and currently have their trade hub outside of town. Terry wants to use bringing them back into Monroe as a supporting point of her campaign.

I'm imagining Terry has a pretty good relationship with the traders - she's frequented them and still frequents them often as part of her work being Monroe's butcher. She's traded with them a lot.

Conversely, I'm imagining Crystal doesn't have a very good relationship with them. She invited the Millers into Monroe, which made them all leave, and which I imagine has caused a pretty big rift in their trust inMonroe.

I would like to establish that Terry IC has talked with the traders about the election. She's told them that she wants to bring trade back to Monroe, and is trying to convince them that, as Minister, she'll make Monroe a safe trade hub again. She's offering them this deal:

If they help her win the election, by letting Terry use their support in her campaign, Terry will give the traders:

* Once elected - A safe Monroe where no criminal gangs will ever be allowed, including the Millers.
* 40 gold each (paid in advance)
* Once elected, Terry will use her position as Minister to help find people for hire that can help protect the traders when they're on the road. Terry suggests some of the 40 gold could go towards that.

What would they respond? Is this something you'd be able to help with?

Thanks!

I can totally help with that! They did leave because of the Miller presence in Monroe, so with them gone they'd be far more willing to return to the marketplace.

They'd agree to Terry's terms and offer her their full support! Considering how well they know her and how much business she's created for them, there's no real reason to say no. It'll help everyone out.
