Looks like your on the right track, but your openers need to be more open ended. Like ace was saying, they could be easy to say yes or no to. With open ended questions it makes the other person have to say more than yes or no.
I aply this when im working the sales floor. The main opener i work is, "You look like a woman on a mission, what can I help you hunt down today?" It sounds better than "You look like a woman on a mission, is there anything I can help you find?" The first one works like a charm and gets people gabbing. The second one gives them a chance to say no.
Also, I would avoid anything that has to deal with wizards, dragons etc etc... because you could be related to Larper or DD nerd. Nothing wrong with that stuff, unless you want to get laid.
