I'd certainly love it if I could go back in time and revise everything to be more consistent, so that the Denizens sub-series replaces the Adventurers templates; Clerics, Ninja, etc. are part of the Denizens series; psi is present from day one; all the gear, treasures, and loadouts are more integrated and logically sorted; and so on. If we did, you could be assured that (1) many of the options in Barbarians would be baseline assumptions, and (2) the tasks in Wilderness Adventures would be far more front-and-center to make outdoorsy professions (barbarian, druid, and scout) essential. There was no master plan, though, and we had to go with what we got, in the order we got it. At this stage, I rather doubt there will be a reboot, if only because Dungeon Fantasy is now 25% longer than the entire Basic Set, even accounting for overlap and end matter.

Re: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Barbarians
It would be nice if one day there was a GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Compendium, compiling all the material from the DF supplements and Pyramid articles, revised to all work together seamlessly with new tasteful professional artwork.

Re: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Barbarians
Not going to happen, unfortunately, because the economics are against it. It would take too much work to re-edit everything into a single massive volume, and most people would be averse to buying stuff they own again...

Re: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Barbarians
Anything that spells out how to build a naked (Shirtless Savage), ST 30 (for a few minutes, Great Rage), 46 HP (mountain of muscle) Pixie (Short Barbarian, but keep the Gigantism for SM -5!) that sports DR 7-9, takes half damage if hit (Naked Rage), clobbering you with a club 3x as big as they are (Giant Weapons 4) and then hockey checking you at full speed (ramming speed) is a must buy.
Suffice to say, I recommend to anyone planning on a barbarian character. Hilarity is sure to ensue. Which is to say, there are more sensible, but still awesome, builds in here too :)

Re: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Barbarians
To whom? To the people who already own the constituent parts? That's a hard sell. Especially given that it's not difficult to do a slice and dice on the PDFs you already own and take it to OfficeMax and have them print it out for a fraction of what your proposed frankentext would cost. I agree with Kuroshima in saying that the value proposition is low.
