Pern is certainly a popular one - Tolkien to a lesser extent,
surprisingly, and WoT increasingly. There is one official 'Rift' game
based on Feist's works that I know of, too.
A number of games draw on elements of Moorcock's work (several lame muds
are named after parts, probably because the gods thought Stormbringer was
a cool sword!), but I know of none solely based upon any of his books.
Of course, series wise, Star Wreck is ludicrously popular, and there are
several B5 games (although I have the dubious accolade of having started
the very first one).
The World of darkness RPG system is also ridiculously popular (although
quite a good system), with some 70 odd games based in various parts of it
around.
There are at least a handful of Star Wars games, and at one point there
was a game based around the Narnia Chronicles.
Thats all which actually leaps to mind - although I may attempt publishing
some of the stuff I'm writing for Caffeine at some point. Who knows.
