What is it about?
Allen Varney’s Noteworthy is Draft 1.0, dated 9 October 2004. One referee and six to twenty-four players build a shared setting through character blogs over weeks or months. The recovered source is the author’s archived page.

At the table
Write character posts elaborating the referee’s events. After the first two turns, challenge another character and let other active characters support or oppose it. A majority wins; ties favour the target. Losers become outsiders, who return to vote in the final contest.
