Level Up (A5E) Using A5E with MCDM 5e Books?

[Not a Decepticon]

Has anyone tried to use this combination? In particular Flee Mortals! (I found out there is a team of villains in that book that would work great in a campaign I would consider A5E for), but I'm also curious about Strongholds & Followers and Kingdoms & Warfare, especially sice I do not know if A5E has any rules that already cover the same area and would come in conflict with these two.

The monsters are pretty usable, but I've not tried. No idea on the other two books, but I'm selling both if you're interested.

A5E does indeed have rules for strongholds, and for followers. I don't have the MCDM book, though, so I can't speak as to whether they'd conflict.

Monsters are monsters. I can't think of why a 5E-compatible monster wouldn't work in any 5E-derived game, so you should be safe there.

The benefits can stack if you're OK with the PCs having a bit of extra power- with how limited S&F's class bonuses are, I think it's fine. The costs are a bit different- I'd use whichever's higher. They work pretty well together. I don't use much of the K&W organizations or battle stuff, but strongholds work great.

I have both Strongholds & Followers and Kingdoms & Warfare and was very enthusiastic about implementing them in my 5e campaigns. I'm sorry to say I can't answer your question as I never implemented them with 5e, much less A5e.

Initially I found Strongholds & Followers good but lacking, however Kingdoms & Warfare did fill in the gaps. Unfortunately for MCDM by the time I had them both in my hands (The Kickstarters suffered some publication and supply chain issues, not MCDM's fault really, just circumstances of the time) I had already devoured A5e and found it to be superior in a number of ways. So now both books collect dust on my shelf.
