Articles for DMs
Benjamin,

Agreed!
My impression is that both DUNGEON & DRAGON now provide smaller pieces that are easier to swallow, maybe with a younger audience in mind.
There's no harm in that, mind you - I for one like the one-page-each "Class Acts" a lot. But in other cases, I think they took it too far - "Coup de grāce" would be an example.
And although moving all the DM stuff to DUNGEON means I'll have to subscribe to a second magazine - that's acceptable, too. DUNGEON offers something more than merely ready-made adventures (which I prefer to come up with myself) - a whole DM-toolbox.
What was lost in the process - it seems - where some of the lengthy, more in-depth bits that were interesting mostly - but not only - to DMs. To me, those were the highlights that won me as a subscriber in the first place: some of the "Campaign Components" (I especially liked the tournaments) or the irregular city portraits (I just *loved* those).
To cut a long story short: I wouldn't mind seeing some of the more in-depth, detailed, "flavour" articles every other issue :)
