I usually take extra effort with quiet players because each person might respond differently. I like to get to know them a bit before engaging them. Even shy people or those with social anxiety want to interact in the game, but may not feel comfortable doing so until they get to know everyone at the table. Breaking the ice beforehand with a little DM style discussion can do that and everyone can meet each other. I usually do this every time I have a new player. Some people may stay quiet until they get comfortable with the group. I stay patient letting a person's play-style develop naturally.</blockquote>
