 Play your NPCs smart.

 Holy crap, that sure ain't stingy.  Whenever my players manage to work up
 a stack of chips (a rare occurrence) they immediately start converting to
 bounty points so they can up their stats and skills, because they don't
 know when or if they'll get the chance to do so again.

 You could rein in the fate-chippery a tad, if you like.

 A mini-character-sheet sheet is handy (there used to be one on the Pinnacle
 site), and basically just steel yourself for the fact that it's going to
 take ages and be worthwhile.
