Collecting the Toys

1
Decide what brand you want to get. Beanie Babies and Webkinz are fairly popular and high-quality brands.
2
Go onto eBay or Amazon. These sites have many different listings for nearly every cat plushie in the popular brands, have a look around.
3
Find a site with all the brand's plushies. If you are looking for TY Beanie Baby cats, go onto tycollector.com and Ctrl+Fcats, look through each page and write down which ones you want.

Understand the rarity of the plushies. TY Chip the cat is fairly common and cheap, but shortly distributed cats like SCARED-E or Purr are rarer. If you see a rare one for cheap, buy it!

Start the collection. Give each cat their names.

Coming Up with the Plot

1
Describe the characters. Is that ginger tabby energetic? Is the grey tabby quiet? Is the black cat ambitious? If you want, you can write down their personalities and maybe even make a friendship chart.
2
Think of a basic base. Does one cat turn evil and destroy the Clan? Or how about the Clan has to move camp due to Twolegs? The possibilities are endless!
3
Get a friend to help you. Having two people think about it will make it more varied and interesting.

Playing

1
Grab a friend. Playing with another person will be more fun and may make the characters more varied.
2
Find a camp. You can make it your bedroom, your school, or the living room.
3
Find something to use for landmarks. Have some pillows or a chair for Highrocks or a leader's announcement place. Maybe have the stairs be the mountains where the Tribe of Rushing Water lives? Let your imagination run wild!
4
Record it! You may not want to record it but if you have to stop playing you may forget what you were doing. Or you may want to upload it to a video sharing site for others to see!

Community Q&A

Question

What is the cheapest website to buy them on?

Community Answer

Amazon and eBay should have inexpensive options for you to choose from.
Question

What if I don't have access to stuffed animals?

Community Answer

You dont have to even use stuffed animals! You could use small figures of cats or just cut out drawings or pictures of cats. If you really want stuffed animals you could learn to sew and make your own cats!
Question

How do I convince my friends to read the books? I showed my friends a Tigerstars death video, and one of them said it was boring.

Community Answer

Don't just show them videos, because the videos are better when you've read the books. Tell them why it makes you happy to read the books, and just ask them to try reading the series. Remember, you can't force them. Try to find other warriors fans to connect with if your friends still aren't interested.
Question

What if I have no one to roleplay with?

Community Answer

There are tons of sites and games out there that will happily accept strangers to roleplay with them. For example, Roblox roleplay games are a good place to start, since it's free and very easy to download, but more complex games like those on Steam will usually be a lot more serious and such. But roleplay chat rooms are out there. I haven't tried them out, but I know most of the roleplaying communities are pretty nice. Make an account and have fun!
Question

Can we use LPS toys and draw a forest background on a paper?

Funtime Foxy Games

Community Answer

Yes, but if you want to make it look realistic, I suggest printing out a picture of a forest, or pulling one up on your iPad/tablet/computer and using that.
Question

Are plastic figures a good substitute for a warriors roleplay?

Community Answer

Yes, of course! That is a great substitute. You could choos high quality animal figures like those made by Schleich and Safari.
Question

How do I pick the right chat room when role playing Warriors?

Community Answer

Read the rules, maybe watch the roleplay, see how everyone is. Then, if you think you feel confident enough to join, go for it! People are always happy to have more people to roleplay with. Also, don't worry, everyone gets nervous finding a roleplay to join.
Question

What if my beanie boos are rainbow or have a unicorn horn?

Community Answer

A good idea is to ignore it or if only a few are rainbow ar unicorn, then don't use them. You could use them as star clan spirits if you want because they look very magical.
Question

I have a cat named Greymeadow. She is a medicine cat in love with a cat from another clan, and there is a prophecy about her. I feel like she's a Mary Sue. What should I do?

Community Answer

Well, you already have one flaw! Is she a bad hunter? Is she lazy? Does she often visit the cat she loves? the possibilities are endless for flaws! You could even find actual warrior cat flaws from the books, maybe.
Question

I have little clay figures and stuffed cats. Can I use both?

Community Answer

Sure, if you want. Clay figures and stuffed cats are both great! You can use both, but it’s your choice.
