I have a copy of _Jhereg_ signed by Damar, Kragar, Morrolan, and Cawti.

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.
