Guildbook: Pardoners and Puppeteers is a supplement published by White Wolf Publishing in 1997 for the horror role-playing game Wraith: The Oblivion .
Guildbook: Pardoners and Puppeteers is the fifth in a series of supplements that describes the history of the Arcanos (wraithly powers) and the societies that surround each. This book covers the Pardoner and Puppeteer Guilds, the former being "ghostly healers" and the latter being "renegade body jumpers". [1] The book is divided into two separate sections, one devoted to Pardoners, and the other to Puppeteers. [2]
The Puppeteer section begins with a short story, "A Road to Steel and Souls", a continuation of a short story published previously in Guildbook: Haunters . Four chapters then follow:
An appendix describes four important members of the Guild, and gives a blank four-page character sheet.
The Pardoner Guild section continues the short story "A Road of Steel and Souls", and then is divided into six chapters:
The section concludes with a blank character sheet. [2]
From 1995 to 1998, White Wolf published a series of six Guildbook splatbooks that described the Arcanos (wraithly powers) and the cultures that form around them. The fifth of those was Guildbook: Pardoners and Puppeteers, a 160-page perfect-bound book written by Jackie Cassada, Elizabeth Ditchburn, Heather Grove, and Nicky Rea, with illustrations by Richard Clark, John Cobb, Fred Harper, Anthony Hightower, Fred Hooper, Matthew Mitchell, Chuck Regan, Christopher Shy, and Ron Spencer, with cover art by John Cobb and Eric Lacombe.

Rick Swan reviewed Guildbook: Pardoners and Puppeteers for Dragon #244. [1] Swan comments that "There's plenty of useful campaign material, including several new artifacts (soul lantern, hoodoo doll) and merits (storm warning, friends in high places). But what lingers in the mind are the characters: angst junkies, sin eaters, serial killer skin-riders. Creepy stuff. And when it comes to Wraith, the creepier, the better." [1]
