Couldn’t you substitute a D12 with 2 D6? Just roll the first dice remember the number and then roll the second and if the roll is even add 6? Shouldn’t that work?
What you described would work, but it’s not usually what people mean when they say “2d6”. 2d6, or any number of dice in an XdY format, means rolling X number of Y-sided dice and adding the results together. The specific case of 2d6 vs 1d12 comes up a lot in D&D because there are some common weapons that use those two values for their damage rolls
Yes you can. First result = 0, second = 1 to 9. You either roll two different color dice, or you roll one and then the other, but one is used for the tens place and the other for the ones.
I had someone argue that their cherished d100 gave a different probability than 2d10.
I imagine this was them knowing that 2d6 is different to 1d12 and just not quite understanding why that doesn’t apply to two d10s used to roll a d100

Yeah, I prefer 12d1 anyway
12d1 is the way to go.

0 and 0 means 100.
I think I might have DMed for you or your clone.
