From the staff of TWTW,
The Hall of Steel and Armor Division departments are now considered complete and functioning much more smoothly than previously. Please follow us on Twttier @castellife @armordivision @hallofsteel ! Look us up on Facebook- Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries :)
I'd like to highlight the "Traveling Chronicles" tab in your navbar next to the "Tell Your Friends" tab. This is where we will be highlighting events, members, and discussions to keep your personal inbox a little lighter. :)
Notice anything different? Please tell us if the site hasn't gotten any easier to navigate. Are you having trouble reading the text on any of the pages? Feel free to mention it here or to any of the staff so it can be taken care of!
More updates from Ning to the way our groups function-
"First, groups creators and administrators will be able to add static pages to a group. Added pages will be featured prominently on the group's home page, which will make it easier to share knowledge or information with group members (or potential members).Second, group creators and administrators will soon be able to change the privacy settings of an existing group. Today, privacy settings are locked and unchangeable when a group is created. You'll soon be able to change this at will. We've also redesigned the privacy settings to be a lot easier to use and understand.
Lastly, we're enhancing or fixing a slew of issues and flows within the Groups feature, including:
- Adding "Alphabetical" as a way to sort groups on the list of groups on a Ning Network
- Limiting group deletion priviledges only to group moderators, network admins and Network Creators
- New members of groups will no longer, by default, get notified when other people join their group
- Better warning message for members viewing invite-only groups
- Better warning message for members who've been suspended from a group"
What does this mean to us?
-Artist and Performer fan groups can now feature a calendar of events instead of storing it in a discussion, which can easily get lost in the shuffle.
-Less inbox spam from groups you join!
I sincerely hope you are enjoying your Traveling Within The World experience.
Travel well,

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
