Create-Your-Own Role play: Guide lines
- Come up with a good story line for your roleplay before it's published.
- Title your roleplay.
- Add Narrator's Notes and Dialogue (Dialogue is read by the narrator, and must be typed in italics.)
- Redirects ( EXAMPLE: If the cats choose such-and-such, go to 5. If the cats choose so-and-so, go to 10)
- Always have choices for your players to make.
- Have a conflict that must be resolved. (Stolen/lost kits, missing warriors, drought, prey shortage, etc.)
- Always check to make sure that your story line hasn't already been used.
- Finally, add a new section for your own role play, and have fun!
NOTE: Role Play stories can be as long or as short as you like. Here's a short role play example.
The Gathering
Narrator's Note
Welcome! You're ready to play Warriors: The Gathering! This role play adventure begins sometime after the Clans have settled in their new lake home. First, introduce your player's cats, asking the following questions:
- Name
- Clan
- Current position (Warrior, Deputy, Leader, medi-cat, apprentice, elder, queen)
- Fur color/pattern (Silver tabby)
Now that your player's cats have been introduced to each other, it's time to begin! Start reading aloud below:

If the players choose to fall asleep, skip to Three.
If the players choose to stay awake, continue to Two.

After Leopardstar's long report, Onewhisker proceeds, and after him, Firestar. The Gathering seems to have no end. Finally, one leader is left: Blackstar.

Blackstar stands up and begins his report. "PREY STEALERS!" he hisses with rage. All the cats jump to their paws. Claws unsheathe.
"You're all thieves!" Blackstar spat, fury burning in his eyes.
"What?" demands Leopardstar, the fur on her neck beginning to rise with unease. "No RiverClan cat has come across your precious territory."
