But it is not a d12, it can only roll 2-12, not 1-12.

MODERATORS
Also the distribution is a bell curve not flat.
Not really, it's a triangle. It asymptotically approaches the bell curve (aka the Gaussian distribution, which is infinitely long) at higher die counts but good luck nesting that many.
"what?! ANOTHER seven!" smh... 😂
It's a 2d6, but could also be read as a d36.
Yeah, except too bad prime numbers exist
Let da and db be the results in both d6 dice, the result for the d36 would be 6(da - 1) + db. This gives an equal chance of getting any number between 1 and 36, both included, eg da = 5; db = 5; gives d36 = 29 (which is prime).
Very cool, TIL! Is there a name for this mathematical strategy? Both search and AI are failing me
Distinguished, these dice have been.
The mythical D11???
Easy - if you roll a 2, flip a coin to decide if it's 1 or 2.
A 1 in 72 chance of getting a 1 sounds good to me
😉
I lesson I have to remind other players of frequently: 2d6 does more damage on average than 1d12
Its perfect for Warmachine, most rolls need 2d6 anyway.
I have 100d6 already, would be kinda cool to get slightly more fancy ones but for this quantity there isn't really much choice that I have found. Two tone plastic dice is about the nicest option, fancier ones are generally priced in a way you are expected to only buy a few, buying this many would cost like 3/4 figures.
The outside should be a d7 that starts at 0
Where buy!?
Paizo has some:

And yes, there should be a d10 inside another d10 somewhere around there.
Ah. Sorry, the 2d10 seems to be out of stock:
