A strict wolfling run is where you hatch a group of norns in the plain Albia or on the Ark, with no additional COBs or agents, and leave them to grow up by themselves for a period of time without interacting with the game at all.

A relaxed wolfling run is where you set up the world before you begin the run, adding any COBs, agents, metarooms or worlds you like, but once the run begins you are no longer allowed to interfere with the game for the remainder of the run.

Did you know? Rowena considered the term "wolfling run" to belong to members of the US Early Adoption Program - however, it has fallen into more general usage.
Alternatively, Denise Voskuil believes that:
The first mention that I have found was in a post on May 24, 1997 from "Magic Hacker" in response to a post by "Aznin" which was not archived by Deja News. The title of thread was "Wolfling norns". Aznin asked if anyone had let the norns just do what they want after hatching. It appears to be the first mention on a.g.c of what we now call wolfling runs. Magic Hacker reported that he or she had done one, but the offspring did not seem intelligent.

In a post from September 18, 1998 (subject: "Attention helpful experts....What is....."), Aznin describes the inspiration for the term, saying, "The term wolfling derives from science fiction, more precisely from the Uplift novels by David Brin - where humans are wolflings." from The Truth About Grendels
