That's exactly the kind of thing it exists to help with. I mean, I'm the GURPS Line Editor and the primary author and developer of the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy series . . . and each time I go to write an article or supplement, I waste time looking for some little tidbit that I know exists in only the vaguest sense. I had to compile the data anyway, so I figured gamers would want it.

"2020 Edition" is just fluff intended to follow the pattern of real-life course catalogs and career guides. If we update it in another year, we'll change that on the cover. :)

It is NOT "all the templates and their related content in one place." That would fill 10 times as much space, render a ton of other products significantly less relevant, take a lot longer to edit, and for all of those reasons cost a great deal more than $5.

Its description makes very clear that it's an index: "GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Career Guide indexes all the stuff in detail. It lists every profession [...] For each, it offers a brief description and then extensive page references [...]."

The price pays for all the hours of research I had to do and double-check. And believe me, that was serious work.
