These are certainly the Big Two: fantasy and science fiction. I've heard
of gothic horror, western, and 1930s gangland muds (as well as those based
on Pern, Amber, and other quasi-fantasy/SF fiction), but, as with paper
role playing games, fantasy and SF are orders of magnitude more popular
than the runners-up.
I think this is because fantasy and to a lesser extent science fiction, are
more overtly heroic than other genres. That is, they are more amenable to
use of heroic and anti-heroic archetypes than are the others.
