About Ardis

I'm an experienced GM and storyteller, a Foundry VTT module developer, a published game designer and a freelance artist specialized in painting fantasy characters. I've had my D&D content published by The Dungeon Coach and my art featured on Critical Role. I'm also the admininstrator of D&D New Zealand, the premier NZ based TTRPG community with over 11,000 members. Tabletop roleplaying games are a huge part of my life, and I absolutely love providing a premium play experience for my group. When I'm not running TTRPG games or painting art, I work in IT as a contractor and full time as a disability caregiver. Kindness is my culture.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Creating NSFW PF2e content to publish on Patreon, or painting fantasy and NSFW art for Patreon and my commission clients. I also enjoy spending the majority of my time with my family. <3

How Ardis runs games

Combat: ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ Exploration: 🗺️🗺️🗺️ Humor: 😂😂😂 Mystery: 🔍🔍🔍 Social: 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ Romance: 💖💖💖 Sexual Themes: 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 I run games featuring intricate plots with themes of love, loss, horror, betrayal and intrigue, all weaved together into an emotionally moving heroes journey with a dramatic finale. Each tale is personalized to the player characters' unique story. I love making new monsters and constructing epic boss battles with dynamic shifting environments and victory conditions. I create new items and abilities for player characters so they can better express their character fantasy and shine in their own unique way. I also love illustrating the characters in my group. Examples of my art are on my website. https://ardisfoxxart.carrd.co/ As a NSFW artist and NSFW TTRPG content publisher, my games feature exciting NSFW elements and mechanics, new spells, items and monsters. My groups choose a "lewd game mode" level from 1-4 as a baseline for how much of this content they want to include, and we check in throughout the campaign to ensure we're all vibing with the gameplay 100%. I utilize X cards and Stars and Wishes and ensure players have full agency to adjust the content to their desires. I maintain a robust Social Contract in my games, and I'm always willing to talk to my players about any concerns, ideas, or problems they might have. If you're at my table, then it means I care about you, and my door is always open. <3

I once ran a session...

For a couple of celebrities for an episode of a nationally televised TV show called Good Sports. The episode never went to air as the show only received enough funding for 6 episodes - mine would have been the 7th.

Ardis's ideal table

I love having players that engage with the NPCs and each other, so players who can really get into their character fit well at my table. Players who encourage their friends to shine and have their moment in the spotlight are also star players in my book!
