As we speak, the top rated modules over at NWVault include:

  1) Lone Wolf Chapter 2 - Mysteries in the Night Taken from a
  published book series

  5) 3rd Edition Adventure Series - The Sunless Citadel Taken from a
  published module

  12) Monty Python Adventures Part 1: Arthur Meets a Moose Taken, of
  course, from the movie

Obviously the community disapproval of taking from copyrighted
sources is ... less than withering.
