Seems like they are missing some entries from that bestiary. Where are the barrow-wights, dragons, ents, fell beasts, crebain, wargs, etc? What about mundane creatures like bears and wolves? I guess those can just be taken from the Monster Manual (did I just answer my own question here)? It seems kind of sparse. If the quality however is anywhere near the player's guide however, I am sure I will be picking it up!

they copied the bestiary of the One Ring corebook. The wights, dragons and co. came later and it seem they have similar plan for AIME.

Great Book and some interesting ideas to take from Adventures in Middle Earth to bring to your 5E game. The monster extras abilities and Magic Items are a neat different take.

I think it has something to do with the Middle Earth license and the Tolkien estate. I think Cubicle 7 is only allowed to make RPG books. Warner Brothers or someone has the Tolkien video game license and that is what they consider Fantasy Grounds for all intents and purposes.

Similar to why FFG couldn't release Star Wars PDFs.
