After I jumped ship from 5e, DCC looked exactly like what I wanted out of a game that didn't stray too far from the tradition of gaming I grew up in. I still have yet to run a full, proper campaign with it, but it's the sort of game I'd use for my own secondary world (other than the system I'm developing for it).
I think it's the best thing to show, in this day and age, to more recent players in the hobby to explain what the inspirations for D&D were and exactly how strange they could get.
It's always nice to see someone returning to past years of our #RPGaDAY event. DCC is an interesting answer. Things generally broke down - in the sincere responses - into threads of games that pushed the reader to learn a new way to play, games that pushed the reader to learn a new perspective (for genre, or setting, etc), and games that communicated their ideas with challenging concepts and vocabulary. We returned to this question (or similar) more than once in subsequent years and it is always fascinating to see the responses it elicits~
Blast from the past! Nice to see that old game of mine still lingering on in its undead existence. :-)
