Velvet is a type of tufted fabric in which the cut threads are very evenly distributed, with a short dense pile, giving it its distinct feel. Velvet can be made from many different kinds of fibres. It is woven on a special loom that weaves two pieces of velvet at the same time. The two pieces are then cut apart and the two lengths of fabric are wound on separate take-up rolls. Velvet's knitted counterpart is velour. Velvet was very expensive and was considered to be among the luxury goods together with silk. Corduroy and velveteen were considered the "poor man's velvet" when they were first produced. Velvet is difficult to clean, but in modern times, dry cleaning is used. Panne is a type of finish for velvet which gives it a special shiny look, similar to many velours. Velvet is made, ideally, from silk. Cotton can also be used, though this often results in a slightly less luxurious fabric. More recently, synthetic velvets have been developed, mostly polyester, viscose, acetate and mixtures of different synthetics, or synthetics and natural fibres (eg. viscose and silk). A small percentage of lycra is used sometimes to give stretch. The art of velvet-weaving probably originated in the Far East. Earliest references occur around the beginning of the 14th century. The peculiar properties of velvet, the splendid yet softened depth of dye colour it exhibited, made it fit for official robes and sumptuous hangings. The most magnificent textiles of medieval times were Italian velvets. These were ornamentated by such techniques as varying the color of the pile, by producing pile of different lengths (pile upon pile, or double pile), and by brocading with plain silk, with uncut pile or with a ground of gold tissue, etc. The earliest sources of European artistic velvets were Lucca, Genoa, Florence and Venice, and Genoa continues to send out rich velvet textures. Somewhat later the art was taken up by Flemish weavers, and in the 16th century Bruges attained a reputation for velvets no..."

| Capes | | | Designer(s) | Tony Lower-Basch | | Publisher(s) | Muse of Fire Games | | Publication date | 2005 | | Genre(s) | Indie, Superhero | | System | Custom | | For the indie rock band, see The Capes. Capes is a role-playing game by Tony Lower-Basch, independently published by Muse of Fire Games. It's a superhero role-playing game played in scenes, where players choose what character to play before each new scene. Characters are usually co-owned, but controlled by one player at a time. Losers in conflicts can earn story tokens that can be used to influence the game, so it's sometimes beneficial to play a supervillain that gets beaten to get more story tokens. The game also has a gloating rule that emulates situations where the villain can easily kill the heroes, but won't. The rules are very formal, and the rigorous gameplay has made people question whether it's really a role-playing game or something else. [1] - Official homepage of Capes.
