PETM- People for Ethical Treatment of Monsters

Folgendes habe ich heute mit meinem Roleplaying Tips Weekly- Newsletter erhalten.

Ich fand die Idee sehr lustig und wollte euch gerne daran teilhaben lassen.

Group Name: People For Ethical Treatment of Monsters.
Pronounced Pet-’em by members. Pronounced You stupid
*&^%&$$!! by Bureau 13/Department 7/Delta Green/Initiative
Agents/various encountered Scoobies

Number of Members: Fluctuates. Drops rapidly until there is
a supernatural encounter near a major university, or in
Berkeley CA.

Nature of Members: Fluffy headed people who feel that
monsters are an ecological response to the depredations of
humanity, and a natural control for humanity’s over-
population. Sentimental people who feel that, just because a
creature wants to suck out your insides and wear your skin
for a disguise, this doesn’t mean he doesn’t have feelings,
too.

Organization: Loose cells, organized by local enthusiasts,
often quickly exterminated.

Game Role: To make your players spit things all over the
table, to make ruthless fun of “people for the ethical
treatment of animals,” or other people who see humanity as a
blight and wear Birkenstocks.

World Role: McVictims.

Relative Influence: Slight, although they can get into
delicate situations and make them worse/stupider/weirder.

Public or Secret? Public until members of B13/The
Initiative/Delta Green/Department Seven/various Scoobies get
a hold of them.

Publicly Stated Goal: To ensure that vampires, werewolves,
demons, face-huggers, brain-eaters, bone-suckers, and
everything else nasty and brutal is treated fairly by
society and gets its day in court.

Relative Wealth: Not much. Often, members eschew materialism
and capitalism.

Group Advantages: Earnest belief in silly things.

Contacts: Very often a cell of this organization will crop
up after a potential member (probably already a PETA
supporter) encounters the supernatural. In this case, he may
already be in proximity to agents of B13/The
Initiative/Delta Green/Department Seven/various Scoobies.

Special Abilities: Members of this group can rationalize the
most fatuous, slap happy, and self destructive ideas, and
act on them sincerely.

Group Disadvantages: McVictims!

Special Disadvantages: They tend to pursue monsters that see
them as food to try and explain their cause. Many monsters
take this as a request to be eaten.

Who Belongs: People who believe humanity is too numerous,
arrogant, and inherently destructive, and that horrifying
creatures provide a valid ecological balancing mechanism.

Who Doesn’t Belong: People who value human life.

Those Who Favor Them: Monsters (incredulous, but
supportive), PETA.

Public Face: Clueless hippies and ultra liberals somewhere
past the bounds of sanity.

History of the Group: First started in 1983, when members of
a PETA organization were attacked by a vampire and then
saved. Realizing the implications, the original members of
the organization researched monsters and such, and soon
formed Pet - ‘Em. Not long afterwards, they were all eaten
by vampires.

Apparently, despite all efforts, their notes and writings
keep turning up. (Agents suspect that vampires with nasty
senses of humor preserve them and reintroduce them to
vulnerable groups.)
