I know of one product about lava rules that I think is awesome. It hasn't been properly reviewed yet by one of our esteemed EN World reviewers, but that aside, I think it should fit what you're looking for. Concise. Complete. Pretty much the final word, IMHO.

I've read the rules Joe describes over pretty thoroughly, and I think they meet my needs really well.
Firstly: They are pretty intuitive and "common sense" which is where a lot of D&D rules assumptions kind of fail, so that's nice.
Second up: They are concise enough that they can be easily absorbed and slotted into pretty much any existing campaign without much trouble.
Finally: The brain trust involved in their creation is huge, so I'm relatively certain that they have been examined from nasically every angle before going to press.
I mean honestly. Gary Gygax, Robin Laws, Steve Kenson, Peter Adkison, Ed Greenwood, Wil Wheaton and Scott Rouse all speak highly of it...
My opinion as a EN World staff reviewer kind of pales beside this volume of praise.

When you mentioned Gygax Laws, Kenson, Adkinson, Greenwood, and Rouse, I still wasn't sure. I mean, legendary game designers and all, but still . . .
But when I saw that WESLEY FRICKIN' CRUSHER was onside, you sold me!
And there were quite a few playtesters. Whatever happened to brevity?

Every word of this product was carefully chosen and not so much as a single punctuation mark was placed in excess of what the meaning, the sense and indeed the theme of the work required. Editors reviewed, scanned, considered, thought about, debated, even argued the placement of each and every word, phrase, grouping, sentence, paragraph and period. We who produced, edited, designed, wrote, thought of and conceived this product, work, offering (if you will), hold ourselves as servants, penitents, in fact, not to put to fine a point on it, veritable slaves of Brevity, that most stern of taskmistresses (ooh, naughty) and have bent our minds, our wills, and our thoughts to ensuring that Fire and Brimstone: A Comprehensive Guide to Lava, Magma and Superheated Rock contains no more than the bare essentials, with no excessive verbiage to be found anywhere within its contents, composition, or aggregation.freyar said:
