I've just resigned myself to them not being as enthusiastic about DND as I am. However, during game time it is important to have them interested and engaging, otherwise, I find, I get frustrated and lose interest myself. - find out what your players want by asking, what they are interested in.- try varied adventures, different settings, monsters and challenges (non combat, combat, social, puzzles) and keep note of the energy level at the table.- Run a story hour in-between games. I find gmail great for this, it give a summery and you can also include some extra plot detail.Also the 4e DMG is a great resource, whatever version of DND you run, it codifies everything about being a good DM.</blockquote>
