Continuing my series of blog posts which go into deep discussion of some of the Capes design issues I've sussed out and how they're applicable to different genres and settings, I've posted a rather lengthy bit on Exalted -- and on why Capes focuses on designing characters with an eye to what's narratively interesting and important rather than descriptively exhaustive.
