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