Not the <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/91394/The-Gift%3A-Curse-of-the-Golden-Spear-Part-1-%28PFRPG%29" target="_blank">Curse of the Golden Spear</a> adventure arc, as that is very Japanese in feel, and unless you're doing a Rokushima Tayoo campaign (Ravenloft Japan) it has too much of the oriental flavor. If you don't mind the work of heavy reflavoring, the adventures are fricken scary, so it might be worth the effort. <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/95894/Frozen-Wind-%28PFRPG%29" target="_blank">Frozen Wind</a> is a one shot adventure for Kaidan that can easily be reflavored to a European/Ravenloftian location high in alpine region in late fall (a freak snowstorm is part of the storyline.) I think it would work well. And the PDF version of this adventure is FREE, while a POD version from Lightening Source is available for $9.99 - very reasonable. <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/98413/%2330-Haunts-for-Kaidan-%28PFRPG%29" target="_blank">30 Haunts for Kaidan</a> feature 9 storylines that break up the 30 available haunts and the associated undead and other evil beings of the total book. Easily reflavored to any genre, the storylines present locations and backstories with associated haunts. I think this book is great for giving ideas on combining haunts that have a real cohesion with a larger storyline and an ideal product for your goal. <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/88206/%2330-Haunts-for-Ships-and-Shores-%28PFRPG%29" target="_blank">30 Haunts for Ship and Shore</a> is not a Kaidan book, but it does have one storied location with multiple related haunts for a horror by the sea village with its own dark curse. It is good seed material for the start of a gothic horror setting. I've never played Carrion Crown, nor The Harrowing by Paizo, though both are considered excellent gothic horror in Golarian products, so those might be ideal for you as well. You can easily pull the "Golarian" out of these adventures and reset them in a locale more to your needs. If you're willing to play a gothic horror in Japan concept (and I don't think you would be...) then the rest of the Kaidan material and adventures might be ideal for you. "House rules-wise" I think the discussions on the <a href="http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1" target="_blank">Fraternity of Shadows</a> Ravenloft fan site cover many of these ideas. One discussion for example suggests removing Detect Evil from the Paladin and the spell itself and other means of identifying the opposition being less effective than in non-Ravenloftian settings.</blockquote>
