≫ 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.
Ali Ferguson is a 31 year old woman who was born in Brooklyn, New York. Not much is known about her personal life before the apocalypse was hit, but it was quite known that she struggled through school due to her large height and overbearing stature. After spending too much time in workshop class, she learned the trade of carpenting.
She didn't necessarily have too many skills besides what she could do with her hands, evidently getting into a lot of fights and into trouble. Her dad didn't want his kid to end up in prison or worse, so he worked with his daughter to co-own a small shop in Upper Brooklyn and sold small, wooden trinkets as well as much larger pieces such as fences, birdhouses and fixtures. When the apocalypse hit, she had nowhere to go.
Ali couldn't get a job being a farmer or maybe a doctor, she reserved herself to being a carpenter. Thinking it was only going to be a temporary gig, it became a permanent trade.
Ali died when two cannibals attacked her in the woods.
