Hoffman's Mansion

You and your friends lost a bet and were dared to spend the night in Old Hoffman’s Mansion. The sun has set beyond the horizon, the wind is howling, your lanterns flicker, the mansion begins to stir and the haunting begins.

Will you stay alive long enough to see the sunrise? Or will you go mad and spend the rest of eternity here in the mansion with Old Man Hoffman?

The Game

Hoffman's Mansion is a rules-light Breathless game set in a haunted mansion and you play as someone who is trying to survive the night.

WARNING: This game uses pronouns.

This game is based on the Breathless System Reference Document.

Features

• Play as one of six character tropes based on character archetypes from horror flicks and ghost stories: The Jock, The Skeptic, The Introvert, The Cop, The Nerd, and the Wise Guy.
• Discover your character's latent supernatural abilities that could include telekinesis, astral projection, spectral vision, and more.
• Try to survive the night using limited, diminishing resources to overcome supernatural scenarios in a house that wants you to suffer.
• Print out the rules on a double-sided bi-fold sheet of paper and be ready to play within minutes.
• Minimalist rules put the focus on telling a story, leaving narrative control in the hands of the players.
