I think switching everything to 1d12 is trivial. Just double all the
target numbers (thinking in "better than" terms), identify the
borderline
ones you don't like and adjust them to 1/12 or 11/12. Usually it's only
worthwhile to adjust the automatics and the bare minimals. 

IMHO, 1/12 (roughly 8.33%) is low enough for the "not very likely, but
might show up" chances. 1d30 is also possible if you want to go the
Battlestorm way ;-) for greater precision.

Why do you have to compare everything to DSII? The WRG set and DSII are
completely different in their aims. Both are, IMHO, good games. They
just
portray different things, and it comes down to personal preference
whether
you like the things they portray or not.

You can't really argue about personal preference, now can you?
