After developing Role Gate for the last 6 years, it’s time for me to pass the torch. As life’s demands have increased, the time I could dedicate to growing the platform has become increasingly limited. The recent birth of my daughter has made it nearly impossible for me to give Role Gate the attention it deserves.
I am delighted to announce that I have found someone to give Role Gate the attention it needs and make it stronger than ever: Varun from Tabletop Mirror.
The transition will be seamless for you, as I step away from Role Gate as a developer (though definitely not as a player). On your side, you will gain an active development team dedicated to fixing longstanding bugs and introducing exciting new features to expand the platform’s functionality.
Although I was increasingly worried about not being able to meet the demands of the task, I am happy to know that Role Gate will get a new breath of life and thrive beyond what I could offer.
Please join me in welcoming Varun, Tabletop Mirror, and all they bring to the future of Role Gate.

Varun, creator of Tabletop Mirror, here. I built a platform dedicated to making Tabletop Gaming more accessible for everyone. With the ability to create homebrew for popular systems, create entirely customized systems from scratch, and even do all your worldbuilding from one place, Tabletop Mirror, though new, has certainly quickly become a favorite platform for making your TTRPG experience yours.
When we heard Ryan wanted to step away, we stepped in to help make sure that the legacy he created with all of your help is preserved. In our vision, we believe we can use the powerful functions of TTM to give Role Gate the love it deserves.
In time, we’ll not only preserve and protect the functionalities of Role Gate, but we’ll bring even more new features to level up your experience:
- Built-in Rule System support for every system – even your original ones
- Auto-Archiving of old posts/chats and advanced search functionalities
- Tools for custom character sheets for any and every system on the app
- Web Browser and Desktop Support
- Worldbuilding Tools to directly use in your campaigns
- And more.
We know you probably have questions about the change. I am known in my community for my transparency and willingness to communicate, so expect no different here. In addition to upcoming dedicated live chats, Q&As, and AMAs, I will be on the Role Gate Discord today from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM US Pacific Time (and longer if there is more interest). Please come by, and ask me literally anything. If you can’t make it, don’t worry there’ll be even more opportunities in the future.
Let’s build a better platform together.
From both of us,
~Ryan and Varun
