Pope's

In the New Hunter campaign, the PCs needed to arrange a meeting with NPCs in a public place. Not wanting to get too into the weeds on the exact nature of the meeting place, they said "let's meet them at a restaurant" without specifying much beyond that. The GM described the restaurant as a "privately-owned Perkins equivalent" (for those not in the Midwest USA, Perkins is a diner-style chain restaurant). One of the players realized that this made the acronym POPE, which derailed the session for quite a while as various other players described what this must mean for the restaurant's theming and decor.

As a result, in the game world continuity shared by New Hunter, Original Hunter, Prodigal Sorcerers, and various other campaigns, Pope's has been established as a ubiquitous restaurant chain serving all-day breakfast and other American-style comfort foods. Its mascot is the Pancake Pope, an anthropomorphic stack of pancakes wearing a papal mitre and robes. Its (perhaps unofficial?) motto is "It's Sacrelicious!" The food at Pope's is just okay.
