About The Daily Druid
My name is Ali Kelly. For the past 10 years, I’ve been working to support small businesses and marketers have more success with social media. By day, I work for Social Media Examiner, one of the top media and education sites for marketers on the Internet. And on weekends I play a Dwarf Shepherd Druid named Yiri in a campaign with six party-members.
The Daily Druid started as a passion project to give me a creative outlet to talk about my love for D&D and the things I’ve been learning about world building and teaching myself the skills to someday be a dungeon master.
Over the first 6 months of this project, things evolved as I realized the potential to bring my existing skills and experience to an industry full of freelancers, creators, and entrepreneurs trying to make their mark…and some money.
Then I attended my first Gen Con (2023) and I saw how massive this industry is, but also learned how much I have to learn. Some of my ideas for a business-based podcast and growing a business for TTRPG entrepreneurs have been tabled, but I’m excited to share my pursuit for more knowledge as I seek out and learn from the creators, innovators, and all the people who have incorporated D&D into some aspect of their professional life.
Thank you for exploring what The Daily Druid has to offer. Follow the content below for interviews with creators, opinions and observations on the D&D industry, and new discoveries.
