More ad copy that caught my interest (from the about page):
Superhero stories are made of both thrilling victory and devastating failure. Capes rewards you for telling both sides of such stories: Defeat of the character isn't a defeat for the player. It is a different kind of victory, and sometimes the most valuable kind. It gives you more ability to control the story as it moves forward.
Because players are engineering their own defeats, and creating challenges for each other, Capes needs no Game Master. The job that the GM usually does is done, instead, by the players as they use the system. When you play Capes you will be playing everything, from your hero to the villains, to the love interest trapped under a falling building. You'll be involved in every scene, no matter how far out of the action your favorite character has drifted. And the story that emerges will not be the brainchild of any one player, but rather a fusion of the ideas of everyone at the table.
