That is of course providing that WotC can actually de-authorize the OGL 1.0a. Which is an open question.We do if we want to allow third parties to continue making material for it.

Not necessarily. Assuming that you can keep selling existing Level Up rule books, which WotC does not seem to be contesting and rests on very solid legal foundation, you can make an abbreviated reference document under a new license that allows 3PP to support Level Up.
That reference document would contain only the original, non-derivative content in Level Up (of which there is plenty) that you want to share. It could also contain the basic non-copyrightable game mechanics (d20 resolution system, armor class, saving throws, hit points, advantage/disadvantage, etc.). It may be interesting to look at the impact of declaring that these are non-copyrightable game mechanics.
A friend of mine really likes that setting. It's basically, "What if Sauron won?" A bleak setting where the evil god and his minions are in charge and the other gods ran off and sealed the world behind them, everyone becomes undead because souls can't travel to the afterlife, most people are enslaved, etc.I’m running Curse of Strahd and Tyranny of Dragons with A5E and it works great. What’s Midnight?

There are deer that have "evolved" to eat zombies.Crikey. Sounds like a grim place.
Sounds like a great interpretation of a Dying Earth setting.There are deer that have "evolved" to eat zombies.
It's more grimdark than grim.
Midnight was originally a 3.x setting from Fantasy Flight games, imagined as if Sauron had won the war of the ring, subjugated the world, and the heroes are the only resistance left. It was epic, dark, fun, and had a huge amount of sourcebooks to go with the original game. I don't know what the remake will look like (different developer) but I can attest that the 3.5 corebook was amazing.I’m running Curse of Strahd and Tyranny of Dragons with A5E and it works great.

I played in a game with that premise that used Iron Heroes. Had a blast.A friend of mine really likes that setting. It's basically, "What if Sauron won?"
