Low tier Magic does not cause insanity but is necessary to ward sleeping areas so you don't come home to an Eldritch Boner Beast.

High tier magic might cause bad things to happen.

I hope you guys realise that if there is magic I'll learn it even if I have to beg at the cultists feet or it drives me to insanity. Why because I like magic. Plus insane magic users are always fun.

And I think it should be something like Arma or... Oh, brain zap! Shadow of Chernobyl. I think that was pretty good.

Not much a gamer myself, never played it unfortunately.

For monsters, take a look at SoultoCall That's pretty much this but webcomic form. Might give you some ideas~

*Raises fist to the air* WHY DOES SOMEONE ALWAYS STEAL ALL MY IDEAS BEFORE I CAN USE THEM!

While we are talking about it, another important part is the setting. Most important part is probably the time period. How long has it been since civilization was destroyed? Did you all live through it? Did you parents? Was it a thousand years ago? Does the game take place in a destroyed city? A walled off town attempting to rebuild? A Vietnam-style hiding hole? How much knowlage was retained? Do we still have books that survived? Are they all in the hands of cultists? Do useful things like medicine exist? Or did we forget everything but how to make gunpowder?

I would prefer recent like we where there for the beginning of the end or our parents where. I think the city would be cool. Then maybe we can settle and rebuild later on? I hope books are around. Medicine will probably be needed. I don't think the cultist would be able to find all the books would they?

This sounds interesting.
For setting... perhaps for extra fucked-upness, have the characters start as kids during the initial apocalypse then skip forward to adulthood. This also provides a reason for why we would want to stick together: we did survive the apocalypse together, after all.

Plus it kinda reminds me of how Zal started GoD out. I liked playing in GoD so hopefully good luck or something well transfer over to this. Because this sounds interesting and I want to see it last for a long time.

I'm afraid I'm either not recalling or haven't heard of GoD. I actually based it slightly off Hell MOO's tutorial, which is one of the best I've ever played, simply because of the way it's presented. Not the NSFW stuff.

The cultist thing was more for far-future. Cults are irreversibly linked with books in Lovecraft, after all. If it is close enough for libraries and such to not all be destroyed completely, there will be plenty of other ways to get books. As for the medicine, if we go hyper-realistic than a bad wound will probably take you out for months if not a life time. We would have to add some kind of break, or find something for injured players to do.

Sounds like people like this. It will be a fine place to start.

Or, we don't go hyper realistic with the medicine. Remember fun>realism.

About the medicine thing. How about after the apocalypse magical cures are more common... but they have a cost of sanity?
So you trade sanity for health.
