This could be interesting for beards-over-internets. I think the RPS traffic has broken the site though.

Having a quick look through the module list and I spotted some of the obvious GW games (Space Hulk, Space Crusade, Blood Bowl) etc... have obviously all been taken down (probably still available elsewhere), but even so, there's a lot of stuff there.

I spotted a module for the Star Wars X-Wing Minatures game, that only came out in the last couple of years, so it looks as if people are actively releasing things.
Also seen a few Star Wars modules, a number of Battlestar Galactica ones, and even a couple of Battletech modules.

Edit: Also spotted a Vampire the Masquerade mod and Netrunner!

Interesting! Of course finishing a game with 5punkers is as likely as finishing a game of Civ, but since I have a few new board games and nobody to play them against I'd love a way of playing them online. Course if you see the miniatures you get with X-wing you'd agree that it's better on a table, but that can be held for special occasions like bashes.
