I'm currently in two games of SUZ, and I am enjoying it.  The game runs on
schedule for the most part, though the GM has had some health problems
that delayed some games in the last month.

The position you play is determined by how you spend your setup points.
You could go for a military slant, a magic slant, diplomacy, espionage,
or economic focos.  If you do slant your position toward some aspect
of the game, you're still able to function in the other areas, but not
as well as those who "specialized" in that aspect.

The game has had a few bugs, but the GM fixes them pronto.

All  in all, Suzerainty is a good game, and I'd recommend it.  If you're
feeling generous, when you register tell Steve MAssey I sent you.  I'll get
a bounty (which is fully explained in the rules.)

Good luck, and maybe I'll meet you there...
