You are a Gate Strider, an explorer of worlds, a slayer of gods, and a creator of legends. You have explored countless worlds in your short life, each filled with adventure, danger and treasure. You have seen living mountains spit enough fire to engulf entire worlds, islands that float in oceans of clouds, and glass cities whose air is charged with the power of miracles.

These sights are in your past, and your future has been blessed to be brighter yet. But you do not travel alone and your companions create legends as powerful as your own. Grand wizards, clad in bustling machinery with the power to destroy or create life; scoundrels, born in shadows and whose whispers are the four winds themselves; illustrious knights, bathed in holy light, whose fervent zealotry is matched only by their loyalty; and monstrous creatures from dreams and nightmares alike; all these you call your friends and your fellow Gate Striders.

Being a Gate Strider is the path to freedom, freedom to be where you want, to do what you want and to become whatever you desire.

Your fate is in your hands, step through the Gate…



Gates is a Tabletop Roleplaying game about going from world to world and having fantastic, epic adventures. This game has a breadth of rules that create unique characters from anyplace real or imagined. Moment to moment gameplay revolves around exploration, discovery, cinematic gameplay, and unique multi-genre interactions.

Each world in the grand multiverse of Gates is unique to itself. Each has a different tone and genre. A horror world would create a chilling adventure for the heros, but the next session could take place in a high action superhero world. Characters are similarly different, with parties that consist of characters from many different worlds. Though, over time a character, called Gatestrider, will pick up bits and bobs from the worlds they travel too. Spells from a world of witchcraft will benefit even the most teched out of cyber-ninjas.

This is a living document that will change and alter until the full game is released.
