The Headsman is an adventure role-playing game about the work of a medieval executioner. Punishments need to be put into effect. They can be very different: flogging, hanging, beheading, etc. The main character is a war veteran who, after serving, got a job as an executioner. He needs to serve some time in such a job before he is allowed to leave the city. Torture is very terrible, but there is no escape, so the decree must be followed. Sometimes interesting orders come. For example, piercing the skull of an already dead person because he was accused of vampirism. But basically there is very unpleasant and bloody work to be done.
