Hey there, I'm a new player. I played my first 3 games over the course of the last two days, and I had a lot of fun.

So now I'm looking to get my own core set, but I can't seem to decide between Apocalypse and Zombies. Cthulhu was an option too for a while, but none of my friend who play are really into Lovecraftian stuff, so I figured I'd be better off getting one of the others.

My friends own the vanilla set, as well as the Demented Dungeons expansion. The idea is to have great stand-alone games, but also be able to combine our core sets (and perhaps expanions too) to make the game even more awesome.

With that in mind, which of the two sets I mentioned would be best suited for a new player, and which one would make a better combination with the vanilla set? I'm open to other suggestions as well, but I'd rather focus on Apocalypse and Zombies. Legends also sounds nice, but is unfortunately not available to me.

Thank you for your time and any helpful answers. :)
