I'm usually the GM. Hand of Bobb will run a few sessions now and then, but more often than not, it's me.

Fortunately, the only character with a gun, currently, isn't gun-happy.

After a NSFW discussion between Gold & Appel Inc. and myself, I may see about following TSHiggins' plan and post a thread here as well. That'll keep it cleaner.

I've told my players, for years, that I only have an idea of what is going on, and that the game is shaped by not just the characters' actions, but also the players' input.

I'm not big for intricate planning. I like to have ideas, but not define them too much.

A lot of times, I'll just have an overall goal (say "Rescue Sherry" for my IW game, or "Get Home" for Comedy Devolved). And it'll be up to the players and their characters to make that happen. Most of the time I won't even have an actual solution figured out. My players are way better at coming up with random suggestions that would work better than anything I can think up.
