Are we talking about the same thing here when we say "RPG"?

Insofar as the rules go, there's no "converting."  RPG's make the
transition fairly well, although the style of play leads to a
stance that's more Author than Actor (for those who read
r.g.frp.advocacy).  Obviously, one wants to minimize the rules
(especially combat) as much as possible or the game bogs down
(I've seen by-the-book Champions combat done PBeM, and it's not
pretty), but that's minor.

Have a look at http://www2.southwind.net/~phoenyx/ for more on
the subject.
