Session Design Diary - 07A

Thanks in part to previous planning, I have almost no planning to do for this next session. This is somewhat a shame because I have more time than usual for the next couple of weeks...

When I plan out sessions, I have a line of two of "thought" for given areas/situations/major players. And then I detail out one or two things that are most likely to occur based on where I think the players seemed interested in heading.

But last session, the players pretty much didn't do any of the things that I had detailed out... leaving all my notes from before to simply carry over.

What is a DM to do when he has so much free time for planning but nothing to effectively plan?

I could plan out even more things, but, the nature of the current campaign is rather fluid (lots of things are cause and effect and relational to previous events/encounters) so if I plan any more it would be wasted effort.

I guess I could (*gasp*) do something more productive.
