Hit RPG Dungeon World Moves to Burning Wheel Publisher

Burning Wheel HQ is known for Luke Crane's magnum opus, the eponymous Burning Wheel Fantasy Roleplaying System, of which there are over 12,000 copies in print - and a Mouse Guard: Swords & Strongholds. [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/burningwheel/the-burning-wheel-codex]
You can read the official announcement Dungeon World's official site here. [https://www.burningwheel.com/]
Oh, and, I wanted Dungeon World stats for The Burning Wheel's most famous magic item. So here they are, courtesy of Luke Crane:
The Burning Wheel - 2 weight
An ancient wooden wheel, as might appear on a war-wagon, banded with steel. On a glance, it appears to be nothing special-many spokes are shattered and the thing seems mundane. Under the scrutiny of magic or the eyes of an expert, its true nature is revealed: the Burning Wheel is a gift from the God of Fire and burns with his authority.
When you hold The Burning Wheel and speak a god's name, roll+CON. On a 7+, the god you name takes notice and grants you an audience. An audience with a god is not without a price: on a 10+, you choose one of your stats and reduce it to the next lowest modifier (for example, a 14 is +1, so it would be reduced to 12, a +0). On a 7-9, the GM chooses which stat to reduce.
Once used, the Burning Wheel ignites and burns with brilliant light. It does not confer any protection from those flames, nor does it provide any bonus to swimming.
It's good to see this sort of smart-business move by an indie in the roleplaying game community, where serving as your own publisher and promoter usually means creators produce less. Any experience with Dungeon World? I'm curious to hear in the comments.
