I'm looking for suggestions on a symbol package to add dice shapes to my game rulebook project. So far, even with research, I couldn't find much.

I'm looking for outlines of D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20 dice. A bonus would be to have 3D versions of the same, with and without numbers. Simply put, this, or stix-like packaged, but with all common RPG dice shapes.

I'm open to best alternatives.

I made a simple package for this: ttfdice.

There are several dice fonts around, I picked an open source one from https://dicefont.com/ (random find from search, not one I knew) This has several dice glyphs in a truetype font:

A simple use in lualatex or xelatex would be

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\newfontfamily\dice{dicefont.ttf}

\begin{document}

\fontsize{1cm}{1.1cm}\selectfont

{\dice ^^^^f101}

{\dice ^^^^f111 ^^^^f116}

{\dice ^^^^f120 ^^^^f125} \end{document}
