There'd be rping as the leaders of a nation, a map, collaborative worldbuilding, all that stuff.
Also, I've included the creation myth of one religion in the setting here, just so you can judge whether or not you think I'm good enough to do the job:
Since time immemorial --before mortality, before there were gods-- the stars have existed. Bright and infinitely numerous, they drifted aimlessly through the colorless void of space. Occasionally, one would come in contact with another and form branching connections not unlike neurons. Slowly and gradually these star-clumps found other star-clumps, increasingly denser networks of dendrites grew together, and at last something amazing happened: the birth of a brain. Its immensity was incomprehensible, its mind doubly so.
It was almost less a computer and more an engine of unconscious creation. For that was all that it did: create, expand, and add to its neural network with thoughts (or nous) which took physical
form. These nous were of a different character than the astral brain’s component parts. The star-neurons were pure light, immaterial. Nous was physical matter, material and what some poets refer to by analogy as “darkness”.
As the number of stars in this network grew, so did too the ratio of darkness to light. At last, the strain was too much, the Astral Brain collapsed in on itself. Light and dark swirled together, forever bound. It is from this “primordial soup” that the first gods emerged. They then tried to bring some semblance of order back to the universe.
