Whenever I roll two six sided dice and add them together, I get a number
between two and twelve (as opposed to one and twelve).

If my memory serves, you're that person who was trying to write a game
in which a single 12 sided die was being rolled, correct? Well, assuming you
got that game working, I would first try to generalize it so that you could
roll dice with any number of sides. Once that works, I'd generalize again so
that any number of dice could be rolled.
