We do 90% of our "prep" through improv and long-term collaborative world-building. For example, we ran a game yesterday where the PCs were dealing with the consequences of something a group of other PCs had done in a totally different game (among other things). We have lots of great improv techniques for doing "prep" during play and heightening conflict, too - but you have to have players who want to do this with you, and who are willing to seek the fun and excitement instead of fleeing from it!

Hey, Jess. If you want to take each unit of play as a separate thing, isn't that just item 3, with your previous play doing fulfilling some of the pre-filled set up?
