was looking over the site, and oBaM looks intersting. I have a small amount of extra cash this month, and it might go to this book.
i'm really enjoying running a TRoS campaign, and was wondering if everyone found this book worthwhile, and if it was possible to get a little more detail as to exactally whats in it.

also, i've heard mention of FoB a couple times lately, and was wondering if we have an ETA on that one, and if i should wait and order that one instead... any advice?

OBAM is a good book. its a Bestarium

There a many usefull stats lines for countless NPC's very handy,
then there are rules of combat with animals and ofcourse mounted combat..

there are also amny good "monsters" or beings i would rather call it, anyway they all have some good intro-stories.
and much more info about the most known Troll Spawns, like Gol's and Hef's

Basic breakdown (from memory):

NPC stats, several pages, with notes. Easily convertible to most any basic NPC you can come up with.

A collection of PCs written up by players, including my own Tiberius Damarisk and his oft-encountered dueling opponent Julianos Vainsteel.

Rules for animals and combat, including mounted combat and jousting.

Listings for various non-animal creature opponents, with game-fiction and notes, including in certain cases notes on creation/summoning of the creatures.

Finally, listings for "typical" creature encounters not specific to Weyrth (though any of the previous types can be converted to nearly any fantasy setting) including djinn.

At the very end of the book are the hit-tables for non-humanoid targets.
