Daggerheart is just right there in the 'meet in a tavern and go adventuring' space. But it does it in a unique way.For people that felt like other 'light' or narrative games felt too much like a 'Shatner doing poetry over lattes in a Beatnik cafe where everyone has a turtlneck on'... Daggerheart isn't that. It's approachable.DC20 feels like "if you hate WotC now, but still want to play D&D, buy this." But that space is crowded and largely 'owned' by Paizo. And Paizo's Pathfinder actually plays like a different game and since second edition hasn't just been 'D&D with the serial numbers scratched off'.If you want an alternative game to play when in a different mood, but still in the same 'adventure fantasy' space - that's Daggerheart, not DC20.So I see a future for Daggerheart, presuming the publisher promotes it well. But I see an insurmountable hurdled for DC20. Pathfinde ronly succeeded because it took 10+ years for people to realize D&D 4E was a good game (though some, like me, still feel it's not D&D, but it is a good game). People who like D&D still like D&D 5E, even if they hate the publisher - so they don't have enough reason to put all their books into storage or a book donation box.</blockquote>
