Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
What do you guys reckon is the best Genre-y thing in a Dmod? what elements do you like the most? For example, i love gothic and dark fantasy combined with sarcasm, irony and suchforth humour. Dmods like Lumbergh Legacy and Cycles of Evil - yum!

I love long adventure quests, like SimonK's mods.

But I find more joy in creating than playing D-Mods actually.

Same applies to me.

However, I think the engine itself lends itself best to long adventure quests with simple gameplay. It's possible to create arcadey action games, but it takes a lot more programming skill make them good.

Long quests and adventures are my forte' lol, so long as there are puzzles that aren't too difficult
Though the occasional arcade romp is a good time passer as well.

I've seen four lurkers on at the same time! 
I like the long epics, with some 'simple' puzzles. Of course, sometimes it's nice to go for a short little quest or even a romp from time to time.
