I don't think it should contain "CRPG" in the title -- (almost) no one even knows what that means nowadays. I'd suggest "PC RPG" or "Computer RPG".
The Computer RPG Player's Handbook
or
The PC RPG Player's Handbook
Not sure if you should spell out "RPG" in full, too. Maybe.

Ah, I had forgotten about the Glittering Gems of Hatred... but that's more for NMA, and they aren't really involved much..

Luckily Roguey isn't contributing to this prestigious volume or you'd end up calling it 'Cargo Cults and Theme Parks - the white man's fantasies'
(I like a couple of your original suggestions actually, think it reflects the tone of the book to have something positive and make it clear it's for newcomers and experienced gamers alike)

Perhaps subtitle it "35 years of decline computer role-playing games" so the scope is clear.
The only place to go afterwards would be Felipepepe's Guide to jRPGS....
Yeah, looking now, Community's guide sounds even more pretentious than handbook.
Please God No. Let's not make it any more confusing than it needs to be.
muds_animal_friend had a good suggestion, but I'm loathe to drop "Handbook" from the title. "Codex" sounds even better since "Handbook" has P&P connotations whereas "Codex" heralds back to Ultima.

I don't like "A Fan's Guide", to be honest. Simply "A Guide" or "Companion" or whatever sounds much better, imo.
