Name from the Shakespeare quote?

[edit]

Hi all,

I'm trying to introduce appropriate links to the orphaned article All that glitters is not gold (about the familiar quotation from Shakespeare), and I'm guessing the title of this article's subject is taken from there; but I'm not sufficiently familiar with it be sure, or where to introduce it if so. If any of the regular editors of this article could take a look, I'd much appreciate it. --Xover (talk) 13:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If we can find a source for reception or something for this article, then we may undoubtedly find such a reference to the Shakespearean line. Have you checked for Stairway to Heaven yet? :) 108.69.80.49 (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greyhawk Setting

[edit]

Can we get a reference to its setting as Greyhawk. I don't recall that ever being mentioned in the module. Its details certainly make it ideal to set there and that may have been the intent, but I don't think it was explicit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.205.123.12 (talk) 19:07, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's very possible that it's mislabeled. I think a lot of people think "1st edition AD&D modules" and assume Greyhawk. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 19:51, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
See here: "As with all the later UK-series adventures, this one was originally released as a "generic" adventure with no setting. However, a majority of fans felt as though the adventure fit well into the northern Amedio jungle in Greyhawk, amidst the Hellfurnaces and the Sea of Dust. Years later, the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (2000) officially canonized "All That Glitters" as a Greyhawk adventure, though only by a very vague allusion; it described the Hek tribe found herein, but only by mentioning their habits without naming them."--Robbstrd (talk) 03:44, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
