I'm tempted by ZoZ, but on my very limited gaming budget, I'm not sure I can justify.
ZoZ is very much a back-to-basics work, system-wise. If your budget is limited, it may not be a priority; but frankly, I have both and I find both very useful. Many things are far easier to conceptualize in ZoZ than in T&J, like the simpler stunt system. The ZoZ incarnation is perfect to introduce new people to gaming, and I really enjoyed seeing "behind the scenes" of Chad's short campaign. Maybe the PDF version would suffice for you? Though in truth, having the cute little ZoZ game in hand is a good way to get people interested in playing.
