>How is the new edition?
Same same, but different, but still same
>Is it at least playable?
Sure, the core elements work. The problem is that this is still ACKS, so it working =/= being good
>I remember original being only marginally better
This is marginally better than original. It's still extremely bloated and very poorly edited at the same time. It could easily drop third of the page count without any impact on the mechanics.
Macris badly needs an editor
All in all, it's a thoroughly average and milquetoast 5/10 heartbreaker that tries to appeal both to normalfags and OSR crowd at once, failing to be good for either. But at this point, it doesn't matter, ACKS own fandom is cult-like, so it's a product for the acolytes.
