≫ 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.

Hey, Naomi, Thanks for your interest in Ties That Bind: 7/28/78. Your application is accepted and your information will be given to you closer to the day of release!

... But, I've got some more information for you!

APPROVAL INFORMATION:
For fifteen long years, that badge has been more than just a symbol of authority—it's been an albatross, a constant reminder of the weight you bear and the promise to protect and serve even as the world turns against you. But it’s not the criminals, lowlifes or degenerates keeping you awake; it’s the corrupt system you’re meant to uphold—the smoke and mirrors, the puppet strings, and the conspiracies around every corner. You've seen too much to ignore the truth. Whispers, lies, and shady money trails connecting politicians with corporations crossing your desk have all led you to a place you never wanted to be. They say you're paranoid, but they don’t know what you know. You've been connecting dots and uncovering truths that go against their narrative.

When the train derailed, it wasn’t just a mechanical failure to you—it was proof, a vindication of your long-held beliefs. The arrival of black-ops agents, slipping through your county like characters from a B-movie, confirmed the worst of your fears. They weren’t there to clean up; they were there to shut you and anyone who might talk up. As you dug deeper, you realized the corruption wasn’t just local—it reached all the way to the top. Your instincts told you to flee before you were disappeared, but you didn’t just leave Knox County—you took with you a piece of evidence that could expose everything if it fell into the right hands. You tell yourself it’s about more than your own survival, but deep down, you wonder if it’s cowardice. The guilt lingers, but the fear is stronger. You've seen the fate of those who get too close to the truth and you refuse to face the same end. Yet, no matter how far you run, the shadows of Knox County seem to follow you.

And if you ever stop… they’ll catch up.

Ask yourself: WWJWD?

You'll receive a special item. A microfilm reel in a fake tooth. You've gotta blow the lid on this whole thing.
