I think the Fireborn GM's guide has a bit of good information, and some required information to play the game, but find the setting elements hackneyed and old cliche filled bits-- We have Atlantis. Again. We have Turning Arthur (the Pendragon) into a bad guy again, we have Aliester Crowley (again) none of this is new. We do get Kurgans (which I don't recall an RPG which dealt with them) and a few more interesting bits. Overall if you feel you can make due without monster/critter stats, and details on Hoard/Karmic/Magic items you can probably skip this book. I'm finding my Fireborn is improved more by watching Buffy, and Highlander (movie) with vague memories of the flashbacks from the series more useful.


However, I think you've done an excellant review, and this is just a different opinion, not a nitpick of the review itself, good job.
