Old Tarsh on Family History

[Ryan Kent]

I can’t tell which years you should roll for Old Tarsh characters. Sometimes it is not listed as being involved but then has a modifier.

Good spot!  Which years?

I assume this is here because of the "elective participation" rule on p28.  "If your Homeland is not listed in the Participating Homelands entry, you can skip the event if you choose. You can still choose to roll, even if your Homeland is not listed as participating."  So you may roll (or pick) for any year, but you must roll (or pick) any year Old Tarsh gets a mention.

Ah yes, I see for example 1597, OT (and Prax) aren't Participating, but get -5 if they optionally Do that year.  Which makes conceptual sense, as it means they're less likely to be involved in the "main" event that year, and less likely still be involved centrally.  Which is logical, as Old Tarsh isn't involved politically, and is a long way away glorographically.

Sounds good to me. I need to get used to the narrative freedom of RQG.  Does anyone have a good source of additional information on Old Tarsh?

Glorantha Sourcebook is probably the best source.
