In summary, Dungeon World contains a lot of good ideas, but there’s also considerable room for improvement. I’m a big fan of having the players be the only ones to roll the dice, I appreciate the game’s streamlined mechanics, and I think its experience system is one of the best I’ve seen in an RPG.
