7The ''Warriors Adventure Game'' is a TabletopRPG based on the world of the ''Literature/WarriorCats'' series. It was created by Steven "Stan!" Brown and illustrated by James L. Barry.
8
9Basically, the game is an attempt by Harper Collins to attract the [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons D&D]] crowd to ''Warriors''. The game is about a group of player-created cats from the lake Clans who go on adventures similar to those of the canon characters. The Adventure Game rules are available to read for free online, along with a tutorial campaign called ''The Lost Kits''. An additional Adventure Game campaign is included in every book in the ''OmenOfTheStars'' arc, and in the Field Guide ''Battles of the Clans''. As ''[[Literature/WarriorCatsDawnOfTheClans Dawn of the Clans]]: The Sun Trail'' doesn't include an Adventure Game, it is safe to assume that the Adventure Games have been discontinued.
10
11The rules, character sheet, and a sample scenario are available for free on the [[http://warriorcats.supadu.com/games-and-extras/games/adventure-game Warrior Cats official website]].

25!!This tabletop RPG provides examples of:
26
27* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: In ''Training Day'', players switch between controlling the cats they created and their newly received apprentices.
28* BearsAreBadNews: ''Mission Of Mercy'' has a mother bear fixing to attack the little girl for [[MamaBear going near her cub]], so the warriors have to get the girl away from the bear. This is also the only time bears ever appear in the entire ''Warrior Cats'' series.
29* TheCameo: Ashfoot briefly appears in ''Uninvited Guests''.
30* CubCuesProtectiveParent: The little girl from ''Mission Of Mercy'' is having fun while playing with a bear cub...at least, until its mother shows up, growling at the girl for getting near her cub.
31* DiscOneFinalBoss: ''Uninvited Guests'' seems to be setting up a fox as the antagonist, only for it to be revealed that [[spoiler:the fox is merely searching for her missing cub, and the real villain is an angry raccoon.]]
32* EarlyBirdCameo: This is the first time a [[spoiler:raccoon]] appears in the Warrior Cats series, but they don't make their full introduction until ''Hawkwing's Journey''.
33* EnemyMine: In contrast to the canon ''Warriors'' series, the default response the Clans have to a common problem is "send out a team of player characters to save the day".
34* FindTheCure: In ''Fever Dreams'', the Clans are all suffering from an outbreak of a mysterious illness. Feverfew is identified as the cure, so the player characters are sent on a journey to get some.
35* HopelessBossFight: In ''The Plaintive Howls'', the cats can choose to engage in battle with a Twoleg. Since it's cats vs. a human, there is no way to win.
36* InMediasRes: ''Uninvited Guests'' begins with the player characters stalking a fox, and doesn't explain the situation until a bit later into the adventure.
37* TheMedic: The Herb Lore and Medicine Lore skills make characters proficient in healing diseases and injuries respectively.
38* MrExposition:
39** Burr of ''The Plaintive Howls'' is only there to explain what's going on with the Twolegs.
40** Ashfoot, [=WindClan=]'s deputy, shows up in ''Uninvited Guests'' to inform the players that two [=WindClan=] kits have gone missing.
41* NonCombatEXP: Your characters level up after every moon, and after completing each Adventure Game. Oddly enough, the rules suggest waiting a month in real time between each level up, for whatever reason.
42* TalkingInYourDreams: [=StarClan=] appears several times.
43** In ''Fever Dreams'', the medicine cats all have a dream where the [=StarClan=] cats tell them about the Hill that Cries.
44** In ''Looking for Newleaf'', the player characters are visited by [=StarClan=] after they find proof that Newleaf is coming.
45* WhatTheHellHero:
46** In ''Looking For Newleaf'', if the players return with the plant but not prey, the leaders will remind them that food is as much important to the Clans as newleaf. They get the praise, all right...just not all of it.
47** And in ''The Deluge'', if the players refuse to save drowning [=ShadowClan=] cats because they think [=ShadowClan=] is getting what it deserves, the leaders will call them out on it.
48* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Wrestling is one of the "skills" used for combat in the game. There's even a special ability (called a "knack") called "Pin" that lets you use a wrestling pin on your opponent.
