But kicking halflings is fun!

But if you want to ease your players into it, I worked up some rules for 
using Fate Chips in D20.  They worked fairly well, but I had to up the 
power of the opposition to correspond to the party's increased option (and 
therefore power).

But the beauty of it is the party didn't really want to spend the chips as 
the chips could also be turned in for experience.  :-)
In addition to the standard ways of earning chips, I also gave out fate 
chips for player's who brought food to be shared by the group.  The night 
of the big climatic battle we had so much food that we had to move it to 
the ping pong table where it filled up an entire side like a buffet line.

The true test of genius is that, when crossing borders and boundaries, it 
is still recognized as genius.
