Since some of you have delved into asking very personal questions such as income, age, education level and (egads!) shoe size.....I think an even greater insight into the reader of Dungeon magazine may be what other magazines they read...so this thread may be the most revealing of all.
Smithsonian
Popular Mechanics
Dragon
American Rifleman
Military History
American Police Beat
Golf
PC Gamer (Computer Gaming Magazine), Envoy (Catholic Appologetics Magazine), Dragon (er . . . you all should know this one), and my son gets Sports Illustrated, so I do read that one once in a while. I also read the Maximum PC (PC news and technology book) I subscribed my wife to, if she doesn't hide her copy from me at her work.
Well there is another magazine I read --well okay I don't exactly read it, I just look at the pictures. I guess that's why I like the New Cover.
;)
GGG
<<<gasps!!!>>>>You mean National Geographic!
No, Dragon. I pick up the odd copy, but never seem to get around to reading it. So I look at the artwork and the voluptuous covers. Why, what were you all thinking?
;D

Mental note--"don't buy any of Matt's old Dragon magazines...you never know where they've been...."
Dragon
Realms of Fantasy
Fortean Times
...(so you think Wizard / Paizo's marketing dept is busy scribbling down notes of all these threads? ;) )
The only magazines I read regularly are:
1. Strategy and Tactics
2. Dungeon
3. The Economist
National Geographic
Fortean Times
Psychology Today
Juxtapose
Bizarre
Vice
Wallpaper
and the best magazine ever . . . Illustration
Speaking of magazines, has anybody noticed how generally lame and out of touch Heavy Metal magazine is? I remember really liking it as a kid, and I'm a huge Moebius fan, but I just don't care these days. That's got to be bad marketing on their part. Seems like it would be right up a lot of our alleys. Does anyone read it now? Is it still out? Is it better? I really miss Deadline, the British rock/comic mag that introduced Tank Girl and Cheaky Wee Budgy Boy. I also miss Oui.
I used to be a regular reader of Film Comment and Sight & Sound, but I have let my subscriptions lapse. Basically, I now only read magazines at the doctor's office.
OK, OK, I used to read my friend's US Weekly, but that was a long time ago, before she let her subscription run out.
1. The Economist (subscriber)
2. Time (non-subscriber)
3. Dragon (former subscriber... but getting your subscription copy in Oz is quite problematic)
I don't do many other magazines.
The IEEE Transactions of Robotics would be the only other one I get regularly.
I subscribe to SG, which fills the same mental niche for me that magazines would for most, I suspect.
There are other magazines!?!
Dungeon, Dragon, and that's all folks. I don't read anything else.
::Nick checks off the sucking up box on his list of things to do today::
None. I've always thought magazines a waste of money until I came across Dungeon's new format. It's the only one and always will be, as long as I like any future changes.
Hmm... Let's see...
Dungeon
Dragon
Men's Health (though I have NO idea how or why I have a subscription... just started coming one day. random!)
No Quarter
Instinct
YGA
The occasion random issue of magazines devoted to the topic of computers/electronics
The occasional random issue of video game related magazines
Occasional issue of Newtype
I'll add my two cents
Time
Newsweek
The Wolverine
World War II
Finest Hour (Churchill Center)
American Heritage
Just let subscriptions Lapse
NG Traveler
Computer Gaming World

I don't currently subscribe to any other magazines, but I frequently buy:
Dragon
National Geographic
Archaeology
Old West
Ancient America (a wonderful magazine of crack-pot science. I have plucked several campaign ideas for D&D and Deadlands from Ancient America)
Discover
Your Big Backyard - The pre-Ranger Rick magazine. My 3.5 yr old daughter and I have lots of fun with it!
I pick up others sporatically/if I need something to read on the road.
I get Dungeon and Dragon, but I rarely have time to really read either unless I put myself to the task. I also read Sociological and Anthropological journals, but since those are expensive I only read them at the library. Also, I take full advantage of JStor and scholar.google.com to read cool articles on stuff I like.
Most of the time is spent reading for school.
Dragon
Inquest/IQ Gamer
Mountain Bike Action
The Economist
I currently only have three subsriptions:
Dungeon
Dragon
Amazing Stories (Waiting for more info....)
And we subscribe to the Nick Jr. magazine for my daughter.
I used to subscribe to Entertainment Weekly, but I let that run out a couple of years ago.
I will read one or two issues of Newsweek and Time each year, along with a couple of random sci-fi magazines that catch my eye here and there.
The Economist
Foreign Affairs
Survival
OECD Observer
>>>News junkie<<<
My list includes:
Dragon
Creative Screenwriting
Script
Entertainment Weekly
Time
GQ or Esquire (once in a blue moon)
Oh yeah, forgot FHM. I buy it when I get tired of dry numbers and want to look at more attractive, err, figures.
