d12GO!

d12GO is a simple rules-lite role-playing system that uses a single 12-sided die (a “d12”). 

The driving philosophy behind d12GO is that players and game masters can start playing in any genre or setting they want.  Just pick up a d12… and go!

Character creation is a breeze, with different character levels suited to different styles of game or difficulty. Playing something tense and full of dread and danger? Level 1 will limit your skills and resources to make things hard. Playing something big, epic, and ridiculous? Then you might want to jump in at level 5.

The rulebook even contains:

• A GM section at the end, filled with tips and tools for running the game
• Random tables perfect for improvising an entire game session no matter what type of setting you and your group have decided
• Tables for quick and easy solo play
• Blank character sheets
• Third party game license

If you need to throw together a quick and easy one-shot for your friends, but don't want to learn a whole complicated rules system, then d12GO is the perfect game for you!

NOTE: The 2026 version of the d12go rulebook contains a number of significant changes, including layout, stats, character leveling, and more.
