Run a short side trek or something based on what little background they've provided. Have NPCs that they would be particularly well-suited to converse with directly approach their characters and start an interaction with them personally.If that doesn't work, then maybe these players just aren't really into the whole role playing scene, which in general is fine. If you want a campaign that's really heavy on the role playing, then maybe your game is not the one for them. Or maybe you could try and mix encounters that appeal to all styles of play.As for the second one, not everybody's comfortable with people playing outside their gender. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of it myself; I strongly prefer if people play as their own sex. Unfortunately, it's something that's hard to get around, and really something that's going to be very difficult (if even possible) to eliminate at your table.<a href="http://www.dorktower.com/2001/01/03/shadis-magazine-strip-3/" target="_blank">Shadis Magazine – Strip #3 | Dork Tower</a></blockquote>
