Combat options on page 264?

I guess so.

Not a lot of pages dedicate to this stuff.

I agree with Mercurius - seems a little lacking in the rules options/modules.

Still maybe I am wrong, it's hard to tell too much just from the TOC.

I'm extremely disappointed in the content. I want magic... not guns, bombs and dynamite. And I don't want aliens either.

But what if we want to convert to Gamma World?

Or Boot Hill?

Yeah, I wonder where stuff will be. It was only a little while ago when Mike mentioned gestalt characters, but I'm not sure what section that would be in.

The Battlesystem mass combat rules were described as only being 4 pages, so they could fit in the DM's combat section fairly well.

All in all, this ToC may end up being the weakest part of the whole DMG. I can definitely live with that.

Magic Items: 71 pages.
Guns and Alien Tech: 3.

I think you'll be fine.

Amazon has the page count at 320. Unless there's a 15 page index, I'd say the book has gotten bigger And that that ToC is inaccurate. Even the firearms rules we can see here are in page 266, which the ToC claims is "Creating a Monster".
