The Player's Guide is designed as a convenient and inexpensive way for every player at the table to have a copy of the most important player-facing content from the core rulebook. It is not a standalone game, and a copy of the Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game core rulebook is required to play.

• Setting Overview: The guide provides a detailed look at the alternate Appalachia setting from the popular horror podcast.
• Basic Rules: It guides players through character creation and the basic rules of the game, which is powered by the Cypher System.
• Pregenerated Characters: The book includes six pregenerated characters, allowing a group to start playing immediately.
