I found a very nice guide how to use dice to correctly generate strong entropy for your seed words.
This was written by developer Keith Mukai who is one of the meain developers for Seedigner projects.
He is trying to standardize dice seed generation for all wallets, as alternative for using mess combination used by many wallets.

This should be a good reading material even for people who think they know how to use dice for see generation:

That was a good read. But still, I'd feel more confident (and less paranoid) if I combine the randomness of this dice seed with a Trezor seed:
This way, even if one of the random inputs is compromised, adding them together ensures it's still completely random.
Real random + flawed random = real random.
Real random + real random = real random.

The dice paranoia is really unjustified. Any dice is fine if you roll it enough times; in SeedSigner, that is 99 times, and even with a completely flawed dice that returns '5' 75% of the times, you're still getting above 128 bits.

Just to understand how flawed this is, you'd be getting roughly 75 times a '5' and roughly five times '1', '2', '3', '4' and '6 each'. You'd notice it, and you could just change dice. But even with that flawed dice, you're getting enough entropy.
