bumblinbuzbee
Coordinator • They/Them
A queer and AuDHD content creator! I bring my own style to “cozy” gaming, including a foul mouth and outspoken beliefs on social justice and human rights.

I also spend a decent portion of my time supporting my spouse, who is disabled as well due to his service in the military.

ghostskadi
Coordinator • She/Her
Friendly neighborhood variety streamer. Has an unfortunate affinity for games that raise her blood pressure and make that one vein pop out. Her dog is her entire world, and she refuses to shut up about how cute she is.
Harbingyr
Coordinator • They/Them
Greetings and welcome to the Kindryd Spirits! I'm your friendly, interplanar tavernkeeper and variety streamer! You can most commonly catch me playing games, but I also love to do art, meet new people, and learn new things. You should join me for a spell... or maybe more?

Please do not DM other community members without their express permission. This includes moderators and coordinators.
Please refrain from discussing triggering topics as the moderation team is not equipped to effectively manage these topics. You can find mental health resources here.
Although we are an 18+ community, we do not allow NSFW, gore, or shock factor content in our Discord server.
This is an anti GenAI community. Any use of generative AI in any capacity or consuming products (such as games) that are known to have used generative AI is not welcome.

raid train guidelines
You must be over the age of 18 to participate in our raid trains.
Our standard slots go for 2 hours and you will need to be live, at minimum, 30 minutes before your scheduled slot (e.g. if your slot starts at 10am, you will go live at 9.30am). This is to allow for you to ensure that everything is running smoothly, fix any last minute bugs, greet your usual chatters, and be settled and ready to receive the raid. If you are not live within this time and have provided no notice, your slot will be forfeited.
You must raid out at your designated time to ensure it is fair for everyone. You are welcome to raid out early if the creator after you is up and running, but you cannot be late.
Our raid trains are themed (apart from our New Year raid trains) meaning that there are guidelines for the content you can stream during your slot. You are still welcome to sign up for raid trains outside of your usual content, but you will need to meet the theme of the train for your slot (e.g. you don't strictly have to be an art streamer to sign up for an art themed train, but you will need to stream art for your slot).
Failure to follow the above will result in being removed from our community and raid trains.

DO NOT STREAM LIST
These are the games that are not welcome in our community or raid trains.

OTHER UNWELCOME CONTENT

frequently asked questions
I've never been on a raid train before, can I still apply?
Jump over to our Application Page and read over our community guidelines before requesting to join the Discord. You will then be prompted to fill out our application for within Discord.
How long is a standard slot for our raid trains?
Our standard raid train slots are 2 hours (plus being live 30 minutes before your slot starts).
Are there any games or content that are not allowed during our raid trains?
We do have content guidelines for what can be streamed during our raid trains. You can find that information here.
Why don't you have slots available for immediate claim?
We want our raid trains to be accessible. We want to be able to accommodate those that juggle shift work with streaming and gives enough time for everyone to work out when they are available. It also allows folks to change their availabilities if something unexpected comes up.
We have had immediate slot claims in the past and found it was more difficult to fill out a schedule and give everyone the opportunity to be part of the train.
How do I prepare for a raid train?
We have a little checklist you are welcome to copy and use!
I've never been on a raid train before, can I still apply?
Of course! Everyone has to start somewhere and we strive to be beginner friendly!
How long do the raid trains we host go for?
Our March, June, and September raid trains run over 3 days (the last weekend of the month) and have 36 slots. We try to be ambitious with our New Year raid train and have them go longer based on demand.
How do members set their availabilities & how is the schedule organised?
We organise our schedules via RaidPal so that everyone can see the slots in their local time (no time conversion apps needed!).
We open up slot sign-ups about a month before the train is schedule to start where you can provide your availabilities with an access code provided in the Discord.
Then, a week before the train, the coordinator team arranges and publishes the schedule.
How do I submit my availabilities on RaidPal?
You can follow our quick guide!
What happens if I experience technical issues during my slot?
First and foremost, don't stress! It happens! Feel free to trouble shoot as needed.
If it looks like you won't be able to continue to stream through your designated slot, let us know in Discord so we can line up a replacement or ask the person before you to start earlier if they can. Even if you stop streaming, we ask you keep your chat open while we find a replacement so we can still facilitate an offline raid so we can keep the lurkers moving.
If you are the last slot, you are more than welcome to wrap up early!
We know it can be super frustrating, but do not feel bad if you have to wrap up early! We would rather everyone have a good time and not be stressed during their slot!
how to submit your availabilities on raid pal
Here is a step by step guide on how to set your availabilities for our raid trains on RaidPal. The example screenshots are from the 2025 Queer & Creative Raid Train:
1. Go to the RaidPal event page of our current raid train (there will be a link in the Discord). It will look something like this:
2. In the top left corner, click the Connect button to connect your Twitch account and to allow you to see the slots in your local time.
3. Once you have connected your Twitch account, scroll through the slots and select the green Available button on all the slots you are available for. You will need the access code to do this, this will be posted in the Discord. The slots you have requested will change to yellow and say Requested.
4. You've selected your availabilities and your job is done for now! Train coordinators will work on arranging and publishing the schedule a week before the train!
prepare for a raid train checklist
Once the schedule as been released, before the train starts:
Confirm your slot(s)
Take note of who will be raiding into you
Take note of who you will be raiding out to
Set up your commands
Set up your stream assets (if applicable)
Let your moderators know when your slot is
Test out the game and/or software you will be using during your slot to make sure it's good to go
Make you announcement posts on socials (if applicable)
On the day
Double check the schedule in case there have been any last minute changes
Double check your audio & overlays
Go live 30 minutes before your slot starts/the raid arrives.
