On this topic, though: What would people LIKE to see?
Hmm, what would I like to see in ENMag (lets make that the standard abbreviation!)?
I'd like to see it stay true to its roots, namely, that it stays focused right here, on the forums of the site that started it all. This magazine is going to be published pretty much do to incredible fan drive on this site, and it should stay true to that drive. The fact that you asked what we want is a great sign. Obviously, you can't do every suggestion, but things that seem to ring out clearly are the things that you should absolutely do.
A good example is the talk of a low-magic campaign. This has been a hot topic recently, of how it could and should be done (since you would, in truth, have to rework some rules since magic items and weapons and upper-level spells are necessary as levels get higher), so its a no-brainer that that should get some attention in an early issue.
Another thing I'd like to see is a heaping helping of Open Game Content. This is a big thing with Dragon and Polyhedron right now, so just leap ahead where they're lagging behind. I'm not saying you should go overboard and make sure you give us so much OGC per issue, but where you can, do, and where you can't, don't. Its that easy and it makes everyone happy.
One thing I don't want to see is the magazine stray too far (if at all) from d20 content. A few people have posted that they want to see it cover some other RPG systems out there. Mistake. The magazine doesn't come out that often, and splitting its focus would only hurt it. The website that spawned this magazine is for all things d20, and that's were ENMag should stay.
I would like to see Eric Noah deliver the subscriptions, but I'll take what I can get.
I'd like you to make sure back issues are available (not for me, since Im subscribing the instant its possible, but as a general policy).
That's my opinion on the matter, and Im eagerly awaiting getting issue number 1 in my hands. This is gonna rock!
