Baba Yaga lives on... in Opera form!

[Herobizkit]

So I was checking out [here] magazine, our provincial arts and entertainment rag, when I came upon a short blurb in their Awesome/Awkward (similar to Hot/Not) article.

"Critics sang their praise of James Fogary's new opera Baba Yaga: Witch of the Forest, calling the weekend performances a success. The world debut bodes well for the 22-year-old, who is still attending university."

And I was like, WHA-A-A-T?!

So I ran a search on said opera. And here's the article I found.

I wonder if he's a gamer, too?

Before Baba Yaga had an entry for the hut in the AD&D DMG, it was Russian Folklore.

Baba Yaga is from Slavic mythology... he's not necessarily a gamer.

Cool - Just like Tolkien based his hobbits on AD&D halflings!

W.T.F.Man.

I'm running a ravenloft campaign with the main characters being a werewolf, a ghost, a half vampire, and a soul trapped in a suit of armor. blade was on last night, as was a television program about ghosts. Wolfman just came out last night.
In the previous session, Baba Yaga made an appearance... and now it's up on the top page of a site I read.


Scary.
