ABOUT — Z.E.N. RADIO STATION

Welcome to Z.E.N. Radio Station — a cosmic broadcast hub drifting out past the static, hosted by Zen.
This is where I make things and beam them out live: art and illustration, soulslikes, roguelikes, story-driven RPGs, and the kind of late-night just-chatting where the conversation actually goes somewhere. Some nights are focused. Some are cozy chaos. All of them are open frequency.
You don't have to lurk for months or earn your spot. If you found the signal, you're already a Drifter. Welcome aboard.
Running the deck with me: Gigi, my co-pilot, and Sterling — the ship's AI, who assures me everything is operating within acceptable parameters.
Broadcasting on 88.7 MHz · 18+ space. Streams land late, usually around 10 PM ET, no fixed days — so hit follow and the signal will find you.
Stay on the signal.

In a digital world full of noise, Z.E.N. Radio is the signal you’ve been looking for. > We are a curated community of gamers, artists, and listeners who value real connection over passive viewing. Z.E.N. is a space to dock, collaborate, and grow alongside a crew that’s actually active. Between our live stream interactions and dedicated community events, there’s always a reason to tune in. Stop scrolling and start participating. Your seat on the station is ready.

SHIP RULES

The Station runs on good frequency. Keep it that way.

Respect the crew. No harassment, hate, or bigotry — zero tolerance, no warnings.
Belonging isn't earned here, but trust is. Be decent and you're good.
Keep it 18+ but legal. Mature space, not an explicit one — follow Twitch ToS.
No spam, no self-promo, no "check out my channel" in chat or DMs. Ask first.
Don't backseat or spoil unless I ask. Let me cook (or crash) in peace.
Mods speak with station authority. Their call is final.
Leave the discourse at the airlock — no drama imports.
English in chat where you can, so mods can keep the deck safe.

Break the signal, get the boot. Otherwise — pull up, settle in, welcome aboard.

THRONE — RESUPPLY THE STATION

A long-haul broadcast hub runs on more than good vibes. Throne is my wishlist — gear, supplies, and the occasional weird snack that keeps the Station (and the captain) running.
Zero pressure, ever. You're a Drifter whether you send anything or not. But if you've ever wanted to drop something in the cargo bay, this is the airlock.

TIPS — FUEL THE BROADCAST

If the Station's earned a spot on your frequency and you want to throw a little fuel in the tank, tips go straight into keeping this thing flying — better gear, more art, longer broadcasts.
Completely optional. Tipping doesn't buy you status here and not tipping costs you nothing — belonging isn't something you pay for. But every bit genuinely helps a solo operation stay on the air, and I see all of it.
Thank you for keeping the signal alive.

The Barnyard is built on three things: chaos, community, and connection. This team isn’t about a name or a badge. It’s about the people in it and the values we share. We’re intentional about who joins! This is not to be exclusive, but to make sure The Barnyard always feels like home.

This is OUR Barn. Everyone has a seat at the table, everyone belongs, and everyone is welcome to be themselves.
Here, we celebrate the games we love, hype each other through wins and losses, and lean into the beautiful mess of building something together.

If you’re looking for a place full of laughter, friendship, and chaos that feels like home, The Barnyard is the place for you!
