I have to agree with Alien Gunfighter as well. I read some, not very much, of the fiction in Dragon, and would much rather have more gaming content. It's especially frustrating when the fiction is the longest article in the magazine.
I don't mind a mix of fiction and gaming, though - setting the gaming elements inside a story, like the old Ecology articles, as mentioned by Guennarr.
But, as stand alone, well, I'd rather have other content on those pages.
