I'm going to be completely honest: I understand the probability distribution is better and lots of d6 systems are more elegant and better balanced than d20 systems.

However, my love for fancy math rocks almost always keeps me coming back to d20 systems...

Yeah. DCC holds an appeal for me specifically because you get to roll D7s, D16s, D24s, etc.

...yep, ever if our fantasy campaigns were to stray from fifth-edition lingua-franca, DCC's zocchi dice tug at my deviant heartstrings something fierce...

Why can't you switch away from 5e? DCC's rules are quite simple and there's a free Quick-Start

...oh sure, we could switch at anytime but part of the beauty of everyone playing the same system is full interoperability across pick-up campaigns regardless of source material, DM, or player...you can kind of pretend like everything takes place in a shared multiverse without it, but it becomes more of a tacked-on narrative conceit (with a lot of mechanical finesse to support) rather than an emergent property of shared system mechanics...
