Hey there everyone, and I'm definitely including beasts of whatever size. I'm going to run a LiveRPG Baba Yaga campaign starting after the holidays, and I'm very, very excited about the kinds of stories woven into and through Rassiya.
I love the DM-toolkit nature of the BY book. I'm planning to use that nature to keep the action very PC-centered - probably my best quality as a DM is that I'm adept at the illusion of preparation, which allows me to just go, "Ok, what do you do now?"
In order for that to work, though, I need to get my head into the right place for the game. Specifically, I've seen some (in discussions of BY) refer to the "Russian-ness" of the setting, or something like that. I think, maybe, that I understand what they're saying, but I'd like to discuss it further.
So: What qualities evoke or define the 'Russian' feel of Baba Yaga?
