I live in Lymington, Hampshire, and work in the Law Courts, which may have made my English slightly pedantic. I realize that Americans and other ex-colonials labour under a disadvantage, and regard it as an holy duty to assist them in speaking (and thinking) clearly.

How To Divide Up Loot? I strongly disagree here. The fact that the characters are placing other factors ahead of party effectiveness isn't a problem that needs to be solved; it's called roleplaying. Encounters are supposed to be interesting and engaging for the party as it is, not 'a party of your level could have beaten that if they had done X Y and Z' |

How to get new a new player to understand the time investment of a table top RPG I wouldn't recognize this experience as an RPG at all; more of a course of study. It obviously works for you and your players, so good luck; but it's not universal. |

In D&D, A PC became king. How do I keep him in check? I'm sure Conan and others faced similar situations. Normally, at the start of the next book (or arc), they were evading search parties from the evil lord who had usurped the kingdom (politics doesn't stop happening, you know) and a choice of filling the saddlebags with gold or with food and water... |

How effective would a mech be in a city environment? +1 for the first sentence. You need to match your forces to the intended objective; to destroy a city entirely, a salvo of tac nukes (or possibly a strategic nuke, matter/antimatter bomb...) is far better than any ground force. |

How should GM deal with 'standing orders'? 'Checking for secret doors or traps when he checks in for the night is reasonable'? Try it in RL and see what it does to your reputation. |

How can I screen new players to make sure they are a good fit for my game? Like the last point, but the rest seems far too controlling. The players should have (and in the end will have, willy-nilly) as much say in the shape of the campaign as the GM. |

What is a good system to play LOTR? I think you may have to compromise a bit here. LOTR is lower-magic than any RPG systsem I have ever seen (as in, there are no human, non-villainous magic users), but players tend to like using magic. The reasons for this are interesting, but off-topic; what you will have to decide is how mch magic you want in your universe. |
