That sort of thing might loosen the focus enough for the "Adventure Design" theme someone proposed earlier; more "setting design" than "adventure design." That said, I still don't think such a theme is attention-grabbing enough to hang an entire issue around.
Perhaps the first could appear in a "Nobility / Peers of the Realm" themed issue in the "historical/fantasy" track (how to design courts, example NPCs, an adventure aimed around information-gathering and social "cutting", floor plans for a country palace, etc.).
The second could appear in an "Intrigue / Schemes and Secrecy" themed issue in the "modern-day" track (NPC plots and timelines, conspiracy construction, more spy gear, historical sources for adventure ideas, etc.).
