Hopefully I didn't skip past this in the umpteen pages but...
I tend to buy Dragon more often, especially if something in the mag interests me. Ditto for Dungeon, which could be tweaked to fit into almost any setting. I tend to skim through everything and anything that catches my attention gets a more thorough look like while I might skip past The Wizards Three, I'll read the new crunch at the end or read the (old school) footnotes for an Ecology article.
This might ruffle some feathers but would it be viable to combine the two magazines into one for a reduced cost like $9.50 or whatever?
To make stuff spiffier, every 3 months have an issue devoted to a dead world (WotC or 3rd party) or the dead world's hook such as March 2007 will have Birthright / "It's Good to be King!" ruling rules while June 2007 has Princess Ark / airship stuff, etc. Maybe even go so far as to suggest how to do stuff in movies ingame like the Teahouse fight in Kill Bill (low MDTs or a mook rule for example) or virtually any Jackie Chan action sequence instead of the rather dry RAW unarmed combat.
To save the DM the trouble, maybe an extra big issue full of linked Dungeon adventures like a spaghetti Western trilogy (A Fistful of Dice, For a Few Dice More and The Good, the Bad and the DM) for a short campaign arc.
How about giving Tito Jacksons of d20 (d20 Modern or Star Wars) some airtime? Instead of a "Best of 20xx" issue at the end, have it as a pdf download, with subscribers getting a discount, eventually leading to a Dragon Magazine vol 2 cd (Dungeon too!).
