I am a huge proponent of 'by the seat of my pants' GMing and in the past I have found this THE way to go for me. It just feels natural to me. Now, I will admit that with a virgin group at the table, this is difficult for me to accomplish. I usually need some insight into my PLAYERs' personalities and character to effectively GM that way.
Good stuff Brennen, we certainly need to get another game going when I get back!

I try to prep but I usually don't have much time. So I end up improvising a lot too. One thing I did recently which was a lot of fun was to run an "interlude" such as published on the Pinnacle site. Each player got a card and then roleplayed some exposition about their character. I see that as a type of fishing I suppose and I got some ideas from it.
I used to insist on always being prepared but I am finding that "going with the flow" more has made the game more interesting because even I don't know how it's going to turn out :-)
