I once printed out all 4096 BIP39 words across eight pages, and used a bazillion dice rolls in pairs (red die higher, choose left, white die higher, choose right, same value re-roll), based on the method described in BIP 93 (apparently this method is due Von Neumann, figures!). First three choices were between pages, then 4 columns, then rows (I made another sheet with a tree on it to do the rows, for my own sanity).

Used a coldcard to fix up the final word. Then burned the sheets I used, which had pencil marks on them.

This was mainly to see how long it would take. The answer: long enough that I've never, ever, ever recommended this method to anyone!

I printed out the words, laminated. Used it once but it saved me. Don't recommend anyone to endure this

What do you mean bazillion times? One dice roll gives you 6 choices, or ~2.58 bits of entropy. For a 256-bit key you then need at most 100 rolls. Then convert that secret key to BIP-39 words. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
