Reception

Rick Swan reviewed The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga for Dragon magazine #222 (October 1995). [1] He commented that the dancing hut "remains of one TSR's most durable villains, having boogalooed through a 1976 Dungeons & Dragons game supplement ( Eldritch Wizardry ), the AD&D Book of Artifacts , and a couple of Dragon Magazine articles." [1] Swan concludes by saying, "Smedman serves up an adventure with an avalanche of adversaries and what seems like an infinite number of rooms. Sure, it's a glorified dungeon crawl, but it's a dungeon crawl of transcendent proportions—how many dungeons do you know that lead to Alternate Reality Tokyo?" [1]

Baba Yaga is a character from Slavic folklore who has two opposite roles. In some motifs she is described as a repulsive and/or ferocious-looking old woman who fries and eats children, while in others she is a nice old woman, who helps out the hero. According to folklorist Vladimir Propp's folktale morphology, Baba Yaga commonly appears as either a donor or a villain, or may be altogether ambiguous. She is often associated with forest wildlife. Her distinctive traits are flying around in a mortar, wielding a pestle, and dwelling deep in the forest in a hut standing on chicken legs.
