But it's not too hard to make up a whole list of potential plot seeds in one session of discussion. The referee can create kickers suitable to the ongoing plot from those. Make a list of enemies, friends, favours owed, frequented locations, past events. The ones the PLAYER remembers best and can detail more are obvious sources of plot.

Glorantha IS complex to start with though, even to create a character you have to wade through a selection of cults, and understand their function and relationship to one another, learn what sort of culture you are in (definitely different to most 'fantasy' games), and get usd to the magic 'how' and 'why'. Then there's the political situation with the Lunars and neighbouring clans. Of, course, the referee could always just tell you "You're a XXX cultist", and not explain it...
