d12 Core - Ashcan Edition
A downloadable TTRPG
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.
Please download, play, and share your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable as I continue to build up and polish the system.

Just finished reading this and I really like it! I hope to play it soon
Hey what if you put a number on the file name to know which revision is the older. Like: Fantasy D12 - Playtest Edition 1.pdf
Definetly will do going forward with version numbering.
Hi, I think that the manual would be easier to read if it had different colours or icons in brackets for resources such as Grit, Resolve, Surge etc. It will make it easier to connect concepts while reading, know which one is for each thing and just make it easier to understand in general. Thanks.
Hi Igku, thank you, and yes, this may be done in the final layout, not at this early stage where everything is still in flux.
