Dungeon World is a D&D’ish game utilizing the Powered by the Apocalypse (PBTA) system which was originally built for the RPG Apocalypse World. Games built using PBTA are known in the industry for being story driven, action-adventures in settings including gritty sci-fi, fantasy, high-fantasy, and even some Lovecraftian horror. Most notably, in my opinion, PBTA is known for being easy to dive into for both veteran RPers and noobs alike.
