Many thanks,

Weird thing is, I wanted to adjust the rotation after seeing it work. I
flattened the fcurves but the instances are still spinning.

Thanks again.

You need to animate the rotation in the emission properties....not the
ptype.  Check out the pitch, yaw, roll settings.

I have a group of geometries that I have instanced onto particles.
I want them to rotate as they translate, like debris from an explosion.
On the Instancing tab of the Ptype, I have Rotation set to "From Particle".
On the General tab of the Ptype, under Rotation Velocity, I have animated
Roll, tried both Abs and Age.
Under Particle Billboard, Rendering Properties, I have Face Direction set to
"Use Rotation".

I've tried all kinds of combinations. Is this even possible?

Thanks,
