Veeky Forums, I need ideas

I've never heard that before. Sounds reasonable, 'cause that was a common thing wherever Christianity got introduced, but do you have a source that's not your animes?

One particularly foggy night, your PCs come across a caravan laying abandoned and destroyed in the middle of the road. It looks as if they came from a far away land, and had been carrying a variety of exotic antiques and such for trade. There is no sign of the caravan's owners, but in their search the PCs discover an ancient wooden coffin covered in strange paper charms but eerily empty.

The party must now contend with a Jiangshi or Chinese Vampire stalking them.

That was a Japanese thing, though. Chinese were much more open, until the cultural revolution.
I read about that too happening in Japan, but that was in a National Geographic on paper, sorry. There was some about the persecutions they endured centuries ago, some about modern day still hidden Japanese christians.

Term for them is Fumie (or Fumi-e), they also appear in Silence.
Don't forget the Boxers

Yeah but the Boxer Rebellion IIRC was more generally against foreigners than christians themselves and started from the bottom, unlike in Japan where expressly the top targeted Japanese christians. Feel free to prove me wrong tho.

Triads, corrupt western officials and senior police officers, smugglers of opium and/or chinese antiques...

Fantasy has nothing on fucking reality.

A horde of chinks kill *the first person in the party* then they yell "rice, rice, give us rice." Then they kill the rest of the party or get rice.

The last time Christianity got big in China, the Euros actually helped the Qing dynasty put them down

No shit. It also means European, because of our ghostly pale skin.

This should help.

No, no, that's the twist. You think it's a pale skinned foreigner, but he's actually a ghost. If you treat him kindly, he will leave some gold after you leave him at a cemetery.

You're mostly right, tho the the fact that the Boxers were fine with the Muslim, non Chinese Uyghurs always raises some questions (though I may be confusing them with another Muslim group the Boxers aligned with)

Bonus points include...
>Chinese dude is renegade school teacher
>Tries to set himself and some family members up as a literal holy trinity
>Bans polygamy but has several wives anyway
>Believes manchus to be literal demons
>Took three countries to put him down

>the Boxers were fine with the Muslim, non Chinese Uyghurs
Because they considered them to be "Chinese", as in subjects of Imperial China, not foreigners.

Hard mode is, in fact, Easy mode:

Armies of bandits numbering in the millions.

They're not just plaguing the country, by this point they are holding it ransom.

Though you may have proven me wrong, I must say that you are indeed my nigger.

One member of the teams sees a goblin on the road, no one else sees it. They are (minorly?) cursed until they find a way to appease it. The party may have to backtrack to the location they met it.

The team meets a monk with a broken cart along the road. it's actually a monster. If they help stops to him he grants them a boon.

I'm basically misremembering Japanese myth or trawling wikipedia, but I like this one.

> Taishi Mountain Yao Grass
> Another type of Yao Grass grew at Taishi Mountain: this type when used produced an affect of mental clarity, preventing confusion of the mind. This type was similar to the Atractylodes, with white flowers and black fruits.

From Japan but probably applicable because I don't give a fuck about historical locations:

The players manage to piss off a gecko spirit who summons an army to hound them until they make peace. You can also include the second half where they have to lay the spirits to rest.
