Here's a thing about gods that lots of folks, world-buildes and pagans alike, seem to miss sometimes:

Gods are people. People are complicated. Most folks I know resist being stereotyped as 'the movie guy' or 'that photography girl'.

Similarly, saying 'Oh that's the God of Writing' or 'Yay, love goddesses are great' cuts off a lot of the history and specifics and individuality that makes it possible to get to know, and work with, a particular deity.

I have yet to see an RPG, or even very many fantasy novels, that have as much depth to their deity characterizations as even the most poorly-attested historical-polytheism deities.
