≫ 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: Trade meeting - request for saturday event

Heya Pika and Mind,

Jouska and I had an idea for another additonal boon to Terry's campaign, as well as a possible way to get Doomsday more involved again (He's voiced frustration with the lack of activity, and I've DM'd with him and confirmed that he'd be interested in more involvement, so I'm trying to find avenues for that to happen).

Terry would like to set up a meeting with representatives from the Amish community and Bartertown. The purpose of the meeting would be to hear if these two communities are interested in a trade and production venture with Monroe if Terry wins the Minister post.

The idea would be this -The Amish community will make tools out of ores delivered by Monroe/Terry. Terry will offer something in exchange for this - maybe pharmaceuticals or something else the Amish might need that Monroe will be able to provide. Monroe/Terry will then sell the tools to Bartertown in exchange for something that Monroe needs.

This would also be a good way for Terry to establish relations with these communities, and hear of their hopes, wishes, wants and needs. If succesful, Terry will be able to use this trade and relations alliance as part of her campaign.

Additional attendees would be Kaari (she'll be there to explain the medical products Monroe would be able to offer in trade - she's developed them herself), and possibly Nikolai from Blackbear company (Terry wants to hire them to drive and protect the trade caravans - and she also needs to talk with him about helping with monster stuff, so it'd be a good opportunity to do that as well). I haven't spoken with Doom yet about this, but if we set up the meeting, I'll ask if he's able and willing to join. NPC's Alfred and Gerald will likely be there as well.

If it's possible to set this up, I request Saturday as the day we do it, as it's the only day I'll be available this week.

Thanks for reading! :)

Hey Five,

I'd be 100% willing to run this this weekend.

What time works for you so I can set the time aside?

Also I'd be willing to hash out correspondence between Terry and the Amish Nation in Discord DMs.

Hey Envy! Sorry I didn't acknowledge you in my first post! Usually it's been Pika and I arranging these things. :D

And thanks for offering your help! Since posting this, Jouska and I talked about wanting to do seperate meetings instead of one - so if possible we'd like to first meet with the Amish faction, then meet with Bartertown on a later date. Meeting with the Amish would be as much to establish relations as to do trade. Terry would be very interested in getting to know them.

Would you be interested in admining and rping as the Amish?

I'm not familar with the state of Bartertown atm, however, the Amish Nation is what I'm running with for plots atm.

I'm off to bed atm, but we can prehaps arrange the following in the morning;

1. What meams does Terry use to reach out to the Amish?
2. When should we run the meeting? What time works for you and Jouska?

In the meantime, I'll check with the rest of the team on Bartertown.

Terry is getting help from Kaari and Gerald. Jouska tells me Gerald once saved an Amish cheese merchant in an event - maybe they saw him again recently and got in contact through him.

Jouska is free all weekend, I should be available around 8pm tomorrow my time (gmt +1)

I already okay'd the idea with Envy! Mind has been hit hard with all the snowstorms, so I honestly don't even know if he has power right now. He's been MIA. If we can't do much with Bartertown, you can at least interact with the Amish Nation via Envy. I really do hope we can get back into things soon! It's just been one bad thing after another.

Got it. That's around the time I wake up, so I'll plan on getting on around then. I'll reach out to Jouska on discord a little later today.

Thanks guys, you're the best.

It really has been one thing after another, but we'll try to help keep things alive as well as we can for as long as needed ?
