Dungeon World impressions?

[Lochmonster]

Hi, I've been looking at Dungeon World lately and am going to be giving it a try with my gaming group. Anyone else out there have any experience or opinions about this game?

The biggest issue I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is the "Bonds" feature and how to resolve them and award XP. I'm hoping it will become clearer during gameplay but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

They should be evaluated when something happens during the session between two characters. Or, at the end of the session, each player should review their Bonds and think about the session. If they feel their bonds have resolved or evolved, they get an XP, erase the Bond and start thinking about a new one.

They should explain why/how their Bond has resolved/evolved.

It's not bad. It does a decent job of emulating a D&D game. The XWOrld games are more about quick and dirty emulation. It's not very worried about accuracy, but it is stylish.

Better than Risus?

Just discovered Dungeon World and got to say that I am very impressed. It's easy to learn, quick to play and converting all my PF/D&D stuff should be straightforward.

So far, very pleased.
