[Design] Why random rolls?

[Carl Brown]

"the narrativist one is that adding an element of chance 
can be a useful creative technique (which is a weaker argument than 
the other two, hence the relative popularity of diceless techniques 
in narrativist games like Amber or Puppetland)."
I would hold that this is not weaker anyone with any visual arts training knows the value of random elements in creative processes. I personally hardly ever 'fudge' die rolls as a ref, instead the combination of player input and random elements enriches the narative beyond what is generally possible in other media.
