No- but I wish I had seen it. My halflings in 2005 were also gypsy based, but with a
sinister psionic vibe. I prolly would have borrowed tha flavor text. The female .5lings were more likely to be pure psionists, and the males, multiclass psion/rogues or even (eventually) lurks.
Since then I advanced the world 700 yrs and the haflings have settled down into a dwarf/halfling kingdom, split above and below ground. They are now closer to the peaceful farmer archtype, with the dwarves to handle the military work.
