On the fly or planned out?

for the most part i've got about 6 plans/themes/plots running at the same time.

but i also have some on the fly stuff tucked up my sleeve just in case.

I stat out potential opponents and areas in excruciating detail, but then leave the plot up to the players.

I would say I do both, as I usually plan out an adventure but will throw it to the wind, as the players go in different directions. And usually my planned adventures are very light on info, so I have to adlib on the spot often anyways.

yeah, the plot belongs to the players in the campaign.

Yup - I call it Plot Fishing. When we're either at a lull or just starting, I'll dangle a half a dozen plot hooks in front of the group. WHen they bite on one I yank.
