Doomgrinder
Mysterious Places 10/03/2007
by Creighton Broadhurst

Few sites in the all the Flanaess conjure up in the minds of the populace such images of dread, foreboding, and fear as does Doomgrinder. Widely believed to be some kind of mystical or cosmic clock counting down the years to the Oerth’s destruction
...
After the Greyhawk Wars, the Doomgrinder’s uppermost sail was still two degrees away from its highest point. In 590 CY, however, an unnamed apprentice wizard drawn to investigate the site observed that the windmill’s sails had moved one degree closer to the vertical.
...

As a Greyhawk fan, I've got a bad feeling about this. It may be nothing... but why would the Doomgrinder's hands be advancing towards midnight?

Tehre was an adventure featuring the Doomgrinder in the early 90's. It was basically a mobile tower that destroyed anything in it's path.

I bet this has something to with the end of the LG story arc. Rumor has it they'll be destroying Greyhawk.

Expedition to the Apocalypse Stone, anyone?

Ask not for whom the doom grinds. It grinds for thee!

Late 90s actually..during the GH "re-birth".


It was a pretty bad module. As were most of those "rebirth" modules (though I loved the PG and TAB)

Awww. I wanted to blow up Greyhawk.

 

[the Jester]

I blew up Greyhawk about ten or twelve years ago. Tharizdun woke up and ate nature.

I like Star Cairns and Return of the Eight, although Doomgrinder isn't really my cuppa'.
