What adventures can you make for your players in a japanese D&D campaign?

You're the proud descendant of a long and distinguished line of samurai, going all the way back to the mythical age of emperor Teppu. Your goal is to keep filthy weeaboo gaijin out of your country and support Shinzo Abe to make Nippon Stronk and Grorious again.

hunt down the bard that won't stop singing "yOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" at weird times

Dwarf pirates are attacking notkorea and they send an envoy demanding compensation from your lord.

Buncha pissant peasantry are refusing to pay their taxes and with the help of some uppity no-name samurai whom they worship as some kind of folk hero, they've taken to claiming autonomy from the state. They've even gon e as far as to harbor criminals under their protection. You need to put a stop to it, but that samurai turns out to be the retainer of a minor lord who's the younger brother of your lord's lord, so any slight against him will technically be stepping outside your station -and this dipshit knows it. You have to first trick the samurai into dishonoring himself, to strip him of his diplomatic immunities, then turn on the rebels while retaining the infrastructure of the town's economy, and capture any other hiding outlaws and bountyheads before they scatter into the wind at the first sign of trouble. Also maybe the town is cursed, i dunno

The setting is great. It's the metaplot that's cancer.

Luckily, metaplots can be rewritten easily. Just pick up a first edition book and use that for lore.

>Nefarious agents have stolen the relic containing the local kami from its shrine, stripping the area of its spiritual protections and exposing it to youkai attacks
I'm actually playing in a campaign where this is the adventure we're going through. Last session ended on a cliffhanger right at the cusp of the boss fight, as we confronted the godnapper.

Local village is under duress and being extorted by bandits. You and six others must defend them, partially because you need the cash. Are you honorable enough samurai to send the bandits packing?

>random encounter

I'm in a weeb campaign at the moment. I purposefully made the most western inspires fantasy character I could and made him from as far outside of the setting as possible.

We're off to kill ghosts or something.

I fucking hate weeb shit.

You can go different ways on it, look at the time periods in which samurai were active and the status that they had. For an adventuring party, maybe they're masterless ronin. Maybe they have to deal with the area westernizing and adopting guns. Make all the monster myths real, read some shigeru mizuki about fun youkai and have the party encounter them.

Then why are you playing it?

Congratulations, you are that guy.

But what about samurai elves?

>[x culture] elf
Lame.

What motivates this creature?

>My Lord, brave warriors have come forward to do battle with the restless spirits that trouble you so.
>Might I present Takeshi Shimazu, Sasuke, Hayashida Kuroki, and Egon Spengler.

>let me guess, Egon is the one that smells like shit?

...

>Egon Spengler
>Not making a gunslinger called Larry

The ryuu kidnapped the hime, and the daimyo wants you to rescue her.

They want to asses the situation.

meh, the ninja removes his head during the night.
you (being nearby) get charged with tracking down the culprit who's obviously hiding amongst the peasant populace.

oh and put down the peasant uprising while your at it.

You're lame.

>yokai extermination
>ghost hunting/ slaying
>bandit hunting
>escorting traveling monks between towns
Sort-of murderhobo stuff:

>catching spies/ whodunit
>advanced yokai hunting (shapeshifters and magic-users and the like)
>scouting for local military
>bounty hunting bandit lords, famous local monsters
>fighting pirates/ raiders
>messenger/ package boy/ from local lord to local lord

>catching spies/ unearthing plots
>famous swordsmith wants to present emperor with finest blade ever, regrettably he's old and can't make the trip
>mustering armies

>The local dragon that's been worshipped as a minor deity has decided to withdraw its "Mandate of Heaven" from the current Emperor, but he does not want to step down.
>putting down/ inciting insurrections
>monastery feuds/ wars.
>stopping invasions

It's not inherently weeb to play in a Japanese-themed game. Are you really that asshurt about stepping into the shoes of a different culture?

>"Mandate of Heaven"
That's China. They're the ones that believe the Emperor is chosen bybthe gods to lead and will curse the nation with ill times if they fire him. Japanese believe Emperor is descended from the gods and can do no wrong. Blame the Shogun.
