≫ 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.

Biography
A once happily married man chasing the American dream is nowadays a broken hollow shell of a man.

After being given an honorable discharge from the army, Radmir moved to the USA along with his wife Aleksandra hoping to build a better future for themselves and for their unborn child. But as fate would have it, those plans were shattered when the world fell apart. Six months into the apocalypse, Radmir got separated from his wife when their group at the time was attacked in the middle of the night. After years of searching, travelling far and wide, trading the clothes on his back for any piece of information he could get and running into all sorts of characters and groups pushing their own agendas, Radmir was forced to let his past go after a not so fortunate encounter with a hostile group that left him bedridden and incapable of scavenging for himself. Luckily for him, he was on good terms with one of the leaders of a settlement nearby and he arranged for Radmir to be treated there in exchange for work, whenever Radmir got back up on his feet again. The man proved to be a formidable soldier, and he quickly rose through the ranks to become the commander's right hand man. But nothing lasts forever. Not even for a thriving community. After a particularly bad season for crops and with tensions rising up inside and outside of the settlement concerning external trade and ration cutting a war broke out, and it didn't take long for outsiders to find out what was going on behind the walls and to take advantage of people's misfortunes. Radmir was no stranger to violence, by that point in his life he had seen more than most people, but after trying, and failing to help as much as he could and put an end to people's suffering, he realized his only choice was to pack his bags and leave before getting himself killed. But for someone like Radmir, to just pack his bags and leave to go on a roadtrip like nothing ever happened? Someone as high profile as he was to just run away from it all? No, that was never going to happen. Radmir was a man willing to do whatever it was necessary to assure his people always came out on top. People loved him, others hated him. Making the hard choices was never easy. In a dog eat dog world someone is going to get screwed over, sooner or later. And out there, without the illusion of safety to help you sleep at night, Radmir was being hunted. And so he was on the road again, alone.
