You have slayers and probably a bit of metagaming/tactical mastery going on from the players perspective. Removing the mystery won't push them towards immersion.I doubt they are resisting RP out of a lack of respect or appreciation for what you are doing. I'd bet the opposite, or your original post would sound different and cite different problems. It's a bit uncomfortable to throw yourself in to those first attempts at "being" your character. In addition, college is just as much of a peer pressure situation as high school. Going out on a limb with heavy RP, or engaging with NPCs in a serious manner can feel like a risk, even in front of friends. I admit I don't know the players involved though, so take it for what it is worth.Incorporating the RP in a more joking or bravado style (during encounters or not) may help them to work towards RP as a fun addition to their hack and slash adventures. I've found that even the most reticent role player can get in to certain RP aspects if they have a chance to find their voice in a way that fits their personality.Give them some time and ease them in to it.</blockquote>
