The Veird Institute

To save the school, they gotta save the world! The Veird Institute of Metahuman Studies (and Beauty School) may well be the worst superhero college in the world, and Professor Veird likes it that way. All he wanted was a place where people with powers could get a degree without having to hide. Sadly, running a college is expensive and donors like their super-schools to actually have a resident hero team, forcing the Professor to assemble a super-group out of the few students he could bribe or cajole. 



I am a teenage witch

Using the solo game “Teen Witch” by Avery Alder, Saffron Hefta-Gaub contemplates how she documents her own creative expression and beauty in online spaces through the metaphor of magic and witchcraft.
