It was.

I have a copy of _Jhereg_ signed by Damar, Kragar, Morrolan, and
Cawti.  (There may be another signature in there, I'd have to go
check.)

IIRC, Adrienne's Campaign set up Steven's.

The system was home-brew.  And from what I can tell, very ... fluid?
It was one of those 'I can do this' type systems, where the ground
rules were few and far between, and worked because the GM and players
cooperated to tell the story.

I should look at Amber Diceless sometime - it's the only published
system I know of that might come close.
