d12 Core - Ashcan Edition

Welcome to the d12Core Beta, an adaptable roleplaying system for storytellers and adventurers alike.

At the heart of d12Core is the Flux Dice mechanic. This d12 introduces an element of unpredictability to every roll, creating moments of triumph and challenge that will keep your group on the edge of their seats.

Why I think the game is fun :

• An easy-to-learn, player-facing core mechanic combining Ability Dice (d4 to d10) with a d12 Flux Dice for unpredictable and exciting outcomes
• Flexible character creation with Archetypes and Ancestries
• "Knacks" for unique character abilities
• Character Bonds that meaningfully impact the game
• A customizable Home Base that will grow with your campaign 
• "Adrenaline" meta-currency system to turn the tide in tense situations
• Shared setting creation mechanics
• Easy to create NPCs

From your beloved fantasy realms to unknown sci-fi frontiers, d12 Core Beta provides a robust framework for your campaigns. The Flux Dice adds an element of unpredictability to every action, while the Homebase gives your party a place to call their own between adventures, actively shaping the setting with you. The system emphasizes narrative flexibility while providing a solid mechanical adventure framework.
