==Contents==
The ''Player's Guide'' contains information intended for players, rather than [[dungeon master]]s.<ref name="Shadis50"/> The book emphasizes character development over comprehensive coverage. The book gives a basic overview of the history, culture, and geography of the world of [[Oerth]]. It contains rules on creating members of various material orders, preistly sects, and bands of Knights and [[Ranger]]s. It also includes small descriptions of important characters to inform players of who's who, and it also covers various humanoid races. The book includes some well-detailed maps of the world at large, as well as [[Greyhawk City]] in particular.<ref name="Shadis50"/> The book contains new player kits, and role-playing tips to fit in with earlier material.<ref name="Shadis50"/>

==Publication history==
The ''Player's Guide'' was published as part of TSR's relaunch of the Greyhawk line, and was released before ''[[Greyhawk: The Adventure Begins|The Adventure Begins]]''.<ref name="Shadis50"/>

==Reception==
James MacDuff reviewed the ''Player's Guide'' in 1998, in ''[[Wikipedia:Shadis|Shadis]]'' #50; MacDuff also reviewed ''[[Return of the Eight]]'' and ''[[The Adventure Begins]]'', and called the ''Player's Guide'' "easily the most accessible of the three products".<ref name="Shadis50"/> He liked the 11" X 16" maps compared to the more unwieldy folding maps from earlier Greyhawk sets. MacDuff called the book "a treasure" for players, saying it "contains enough new stuff to entice old Greyhawk hands, and unlike ''The Adventure Begins'', shouldn't leave them wanting".<ref name="Shadis50">{{cite journal|last=MacDuff|first=James|date=August 1998|title=Greyhawk Line Review|journal=Shadis|publisher=[[Alderac Entertainment Group]]|issue=50|pages=91}}</ref>
