Neverwinter Vault have posted a Hall of Fame interview with Cornflower, the author of the Glorwing Persistent World. Here's a clip:

3) Your Persistent World is called "Glorwing RP PW" was recently inducted into our Hall of Fame. Could you give us an overview of what it's all about and the unique setting you have.
Glorwing is based on a PnP world that I made up in 1985 or so. It was all handwritten on a white substance called "paper", you may have heard of it. Anyway, I adapted it to be a "meltingpot" where you can play your character regardless of which PnP ruleset you fancy. Glorwing is a transitpoint between multiversa where just about anyone can appear. We used to have a bunch of Scotsmen in game. Currently we have two Vikings running around. I chose that setting since I got tired of "You can't do that if you're an elf. It says so on page 187 in the rulebook". The original story was that Glorwing was discovered 100 years ago by a mage who accidentaly created a dimensional rift while trying out a new love-spell. I tried to create the "frontier" feel of old Wild West or Australia 200 years ago. Lots of wilderness, only one big city.
