A world created in this way tends to have a certain lack of coherence, as the dice rolls in successive spaces are not correlated with each other.
My experience in creating alien races, for example, using the rules in GURPS Space has tended to be that they also have a certain lack of coherence.
Does physical reality have enough coherence to support the conclusion that God is not rolling dice to create its occupants? Or is God an old school GM?
