If they roll 17 6s in a row, they're allowed to get past being a single-cell organism.Another 14 6s in a row gets them an intelligent bipedal animal, and another 9 6s in a row gets them an adventurer.If they all want an adventurer in the same place in a mind-bendingly enormous multi-dimensional universe, at the same point in time, and all with a similar need to pursue a quest within the parameters of their capabilities - well I have to guestimate the probabilities. But I think I'm being generous to demand they need to simultaneously roll 15 6s in a row.Otherwise we start character generation again.That may seem like a lot, but then I'm running a sim - anything less is the grossest contrivance and not concerned with realism or verisimilitude.</blockquote>
