Reception

Steve Crow reviewed Player's Guide in White Wolf #31 (May/June, 1992), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "Overall, Player's Guide is an excellent buy. When it deals purely with Vampire player characters and how to develop them, it is exceedingly useful. Peripheral material, such as Equipment and World of the Kindred, are less useful, but entertaining if your interests lie in that area." [1]
