QUESTION: Is it possible to adapt the rolling mechanics from Dungeon World to Fate Core?

So I have a predicament: I really like the main core mechanics of Fate Core, but I also really like the rolling mechanics of Dungeon World. Below I’ve listed briefly the qualities I would want to maintain in my home-brew.

Fate Core

Core mechanics intact

-aspects, skills, success ladder, etc…

Dungeon World

Success and failure mechanics

-when rolling for an action a 5-6 is a success. Take the roll and add the appropriate modifier. This allows for the target number to always be static, which in term means less homework for the GM. 

I imagine what will need to be done is a scaling down of the skills in order to compensate for the 2-12 dice probability. Then depending on how well you succeeded or failed you would fall somewhere on The Ladder. So I wish to draw on your limitless knowledge!

Thanks for tinkering with me. 

So I’m considering writing a campaign setting for DW derived from the Four Heroes of Light mythos. So think Final Fantasy III or IX. Though I love FF7 I wanted to stay roughly fantasy.  

I figured I should find out if this has been done already to either save myself the time or use it as inspiration. 

Has it been done?

What are your thoughts?

Whole new classes or use the vanilla classes?

Thanks guys!

Is anyone out there doing a PBP (play by post) DW one shot? I would like something short just to get my feet wet with PBP and DW. Haven’t played it yet but reading through the rules right now. 

I intend to run my own PBP with some friends but would like to participate in DW before being a GM.  Also would like to see how others do PBP, I intend to use google docs as it’s got some awesome resources. 

Thanks for the feedback!
