You asked for the example. I made an example. You ignore the example. Why?
Here's the template. It's based on the smaller gods in Inner Seas Guide as WDL has been asking since the first post.??? Pantheon
Name
Titles, Epithets, God of ???, Lord of ???, Etc
Alignment: ???
Domains: ??? (4 to 5)
Favored Weapon: ???
Symbol: ???
1st paragraph What does the god do, what is his role in the pantheon. What is his sacred animals, does he have sacred colors.
2nd paragraph What does he look like in art or when he sends avatars to interact with the players. Does he even interact with people. How is his personality.
3rd...
My intention was not to offend. This was an experiment that did not work.
Gods from mythology seldom fit nicely into the RPG mode. Much of their character can be lost if too much is omitted.
I am having a difficult time determining alignment...especially for 2 dieties from too similar pantheons.
Deities with multiple personalities, such as some moon goddess, will have a different alignment for each aspect.
Some beings from the outer chaos or higher planes of existence may have no alignment.
Was a bit weird to see some Baltic gods and just legendary characters simply put in the Slavic god roster...
I'm in favor of providing a somewhat minimal approach to format. When it comes to real-world religion/mythology the fluff/flavor can come from personal knowledge or research. Still, a sentence or paragraph of description should suffice per entry.

@ I'm Hiding In Your Closet:
I can accept help fleshing out the Egyptians, but I think it would be best if the better mythology buffs tackled the less known pantheons first, leave the norse and the greek for last since anyone can do them. I would like to see the slavic or the canaanite first, if you please.
Okay - where do I go/what do I do to do this? Do we just post it here?
I imagine greek and norse are some of the easiest, consider how exotic the list gets. I'm woring on 20+ norse "deities" that I have separated into aesir, vanir, jotun, and other (the ragnarok beasts). I could easily make is 30+ but I don't really see the necessity.

Okay, so here's my first draft. I took a great deal of artistic license to avoid the multitude of overlapping sphere of influence.

Osiris
God of Life, Death and Rebirth, Lord of the Afterlife, Judger of Souls
Alignment: LN
Domains: Death, Healing, Law, Nobility, Repose
Favored Weapon: ??? (Maybe the flail?)
Symbol: The pharaos crook and flail, in green and black
Osiris was the second pharao of the gods after Ra, but he was killed and dismembered by his brother Set. After his wife and sister Isis and their son Horus brought him back he became the lord of the Duat, the underworld. His main job is to weight the souls of the dead against the feather of thruth. Those whose soul is too heavy from sin or to light from inaction are devoured by Ammut but those who lived a good life are sent to enjoy their stay on Duat.
Osiris appears as a pharaoh with green or blsck skin, wielding the crook and flail and wearing a crown with ostrich feathers. Sometimes he may appear mummified and bandaged from the neck down. He is fair and just ruler with little pacience for lawbreakers and hose that would waste his time. His sacred colors are green and black and his sacred animal is the ostrich.
Osirian priests often help with funeral rites and judgements. Worshippers of Osiris include judges, lawmakers, those who work with dead and many who are sick and close to death.
Osirian priests are ambivalent about undead, with some sects vowings to destroy all undeath, except for mummies, while others devote themselves making and serving the undead, specially mummies. Mummies are specially sacred to clerics of Osiris and no cleric of Osiris can attack a mummy.
Clerics of Osiris halve the casting time when casting Raise Dead, Ressurection and True Ressurection.
(The Thunderer, The Violent)
Intermediate God (Chaotic Neutral)
Adad is the god of weather. he brings life-giving rain to the earth, but he also brings terrible storms and devastating floods. Farmers who rely on his rains venerate Adad for his generosity and pray for his forgiveness during droughts. Adad is also the patron of barbarians, who worship him as the god of strength. His throne sits upon a great black cloud, allowing him to direct his storms first-hand.
Adad's followers believe he is the source of all strength, but strength that is not tested atrophies. Without his life-giving rain, all living things would wither and die. The tree that is hardy weathers the storm, but the sickly tree does not. The more ardent followers of Adad face adversity to prove their strength.
Many clerics of Adad are recruited for their thunderous voices. All are encouraged to maintain physical fitness by working on farms or training with warriors.
People pray to Adad for rain, the cessation of storms, or strength in battle. Regardless of the request, loud drums and thunderous crashes must accompany such prayers to gain the attention of the storm god.
The solidly built temples of Adad are decorated with scenes of storms and human-headed bulls (the sacred animal of Adad). Sacred bowls collect rainwater that is made holy by the clerics, while other channels funnel rainwater to the main altar in a roaring waterfall.
Ceremonies worshiping Adad are as inconstant as the god himself. Prayers of thanks are given during periods of prolonged rain, after a successful battle, or while performing a physical endeavor. During droughts or extremely violent storms, the clerics lead followers in ceremonies to appease Adad.

I just saw this - Osiris had been blocking my view. Thanks.
so for Native North America Tribes should we include greater spirits? like The Fox or The Buffalo, or The Great Father, or just not include them?
Interesting project but as an ordained Buddhist minister in a Japanese lineage I'd like to comment on the Buddhist part of this.
Buddhas are not gods but are called "Teachers of Gods and Men."
Early Buddhism take the early Vedic deities for granted - in particular Brahma as the self-proclaimed creator deity, Sakra Devanam Indra as a thunder god and leader of a group of 32 deities who presided over natural forces, and four heavenly kings who served as generals for Indra whose responsibility was to guard against attempts by the asuras to take back heaven.
Then there are various guardian spirits who are not quite gods and these multiplied greatly as tantric Buddhism developed.
As Buddhism moved into China, Korea, Japan, and later Tibet and other countries it assimilated local deities and/or the various Vedic and tantric deities took on local color.
When you look at Japanese Buddhist iconography you will see a mixture of buddhas, bodhisattvas, Vedic deities, East Asian versions of guardian deities and tantric entities, and local gods who have been adopted into Buddhism.
If I ever get any time I will try to see if I can write up some of these ISG Appendix style, but many categories will be n/a (non-applicable).
I think reading entries written by any kind of minister would be interesting.
(Sky Father)
Greater God (Lawful Neutral)
Anu is the king of the heavens and the father of the gods. He rarely acts directly, using other gods to enact his will upon the earth. His children, the gods, often come to Anu for his judgment on an issue, or for assistance with their schemes. Anu is a patron of leaders, from the head of a household to the king of a city-state.
Followers of Anu believe that there is a place for everything and everything belongs in its place. A leader should be like a father to his followers, caring but firm. It is the duty of the leader to make sure his followers are productive and happy, and they in turn must respect his will. Anu's followers work against leaders who abuse their positions or workers who shirk their duties.
If not leaders themselves, clerics of Anu act as advisors to those in power. Most clerics of Anu are the sons and daughters of nobles who are not in line for a position of power. These young devotees often take up the cause of Anu to better serve their siblings.
Prayers to Anu almost never ask for his direct intercession, rather the worshiper asks the sky god to use his influence over on of his divine children. The petitioner might seek the aid of a specific deity or ask Anu to chastise a deity she believes to be working against her.
Temples dedicated to Anu are large structures befitting the father of the gods. They are often the center of temple complexes, and connected to temples of other gods. Many government buildings also contain small shrines to Anu for offerings and short prayers.
Clerics of Anu officiate over the installation of leaders and most importantly, the coronation of kings.

(Earth Mother, Ninhursaga, Aruru, Mammitum)
Greater Goddess (Neutral Good)
Belet-iti is the goddess of the earth, from stony barrens to verdant fields. She is the goddess of birth and is the spiritual mother of all gods and mortals, but especially heroes. She is known by many names in many regions, but she loves and watches over all her children equally, as only a mother can.
Clerics of Belet-ili teach that all living things are her children and deserving of respect. Followers of the Earth Mother try to live in harmony with the natural world. Even when they eat a plant or animal, or offer it in sacrifice to a god, they must give thanks to the spirit of that creature. By treating the spirits around them with kindness, they believe the receive kindness form the world in return.
Adherents of Belet-ili all have a great love of nature, and her church has as many druids as clerics. Her clerics and druids learn to listen to nature spirits, and often advise those seeking the best places to grow crops, build a home, or hunt for game.
Worshipers of Belet-ili pray for fertility for themselves and their animals, abundance for their crops, and good fortune for their children.
Temples of Belet-ili are surrounded by gardens (or built on hanging gardens) and often have wild animals living among the plants. Temples dedicated to the Earth Mother are a good place to find healing for people or animals.
Followers of Belet-ili practice a number of seasonal rites in celebration of planting, growing, and harvesting. They also preside over births, and many act as midwives.

Repeated rereading of the original post has made me realize that game inspired deities are allowed.
Also, you could suggest almost anything. The original poster is free to reject anything.

How so, and why?
That's too bad because I wanted to rain on this parade.How so, and why?
Something about different cultures having different interpretations of the same god and something also about where to draw the line between the what's the same god and different gods (for example Thor and Perun?) probably. EDIT: also something about stories about the same god from the same culture contradicting each other, and also something about the interpretations of gods changing in the same culture over time. EDIT: also something about how interpretation of a god is, to some degree, also up to personal interpretation, and this being increasingly true the less primary sources (and the less reliable the sources are) on a god.
Also something about North American not being a pantheon. North America is the homeland of this many language families for starters. And that's not languages, that's language famlies. Indo-European is a language family.
The reason why is because I am a pedantic, details-obsessed killjoy and I embrace the role lovingly.
EDIT: The more serious reason why is because I thought about this idea before (more generally, a: what if every folklore was observably real in one coherent alternate history of our world? setting) multiple times and kept running into the many roadblocks as to why it either would not work or would be very, very, very hard, and the only possible solution I was able to come up with was to shunt everything, including the mythological creatures, off into alternate planes, the barriers to which may be weaker at various parts of the world, and then I realized that I only have the very much incomplete understanding of Germanic cosmology I have from 5 years of obsession (could have been less years had it not been for my disabilities probably), and I couldn't possibly be able to develop the same level of understanding of every culture in a lifetime unless I figured out how to become a lich.

Yeah quite a shame really. it's a wonderful idea, if full of obstacles.
I'm not saying I'm going to revive this idea. It became overwhelming pretty quickly the first time I tried, and I'm not sure I have the time to work on an extensive project like this. I was also really inexperienced researching mythology at the time, hence some poor decisions in terms of pantheon division. However, if I did at some point decide to try again, this is what the roster would look like.

I'm not saying I'm going to revive this idea. It became overwhelming pretty quickly the first time I tried, and I'm not sure I have the time to work on an extensive project like this. I was also really inexperienced researching mythology at the time, hence some poor decisions in terms of pantheon division. However, if I did at some point decide to try again, this is what the roster would look like.
** spoiler omitted **...
If it helps, the Book of Passion that was recently successfully Kickstarted (and is fully written and currently off to be edited, undergo layout, and finally printing) introduces a new domain that would almost certainly be useful to your project.
Fertility Domain.
We actually did a very small scale version of this very project in the later part of the book, except limited to only deities concerned with fertility. To avoid setting issues, all of the deities we present in the book are "real world" deities and I think every single one of them is on your list (and in the format you presented earlier this thread).
So yeah. The book won't be to pdf/print until this fall (assuming no delays), but you might want to check it out.

Thanks! That sounds like it would be really helpful!
