Great stuff! I really love the injury and flaws mechanics, I think it adds a lot of variety to taking damage. The only thing I'm curious about is that I noticed that the Kozel Medved doesn’t have any markable flaws or a personal quest. I'm assuming it's because they are a bear, but I feel like even that is the case I think they should have those. Other than that, the mechanics are easy to understand and the character sheets are easy to comprehend. I also think that the Last Stand is a really cool way for players to have their characters go out with a bang! The personal objectives of each character makes it simple for players to get into role-play. Overall, great game that I would love to play with my friends, AARRRRGHH

Lord knows I love a good pirate anything. This checks a lot of boxes for me. Some thoughts, in the order they occured to me:

I LOVE the addition of the personal quest for each character. Some of them could certainly use a little balancing, though. Patches' feels underpowered (unless it's useable multiple times? In which case it's good!) The Mists' also feels a bit underwhelming. Personally, I wouldn't voluntarily blow up my character for an extra 2d6 once.

The Flaws as an alternative to injuries is great.  For simplicity I might even take it one step further and eliminate the Injury option entirely. As a player, I would take a Flaw every time over an Injury, just for the narrative addition even if it had no mechanical impact. Could always mitigate this with a mix of injuries & flaws so that not every level has a mechanical impact (but should still have some kind of description when marked to keep the narrative alive maybe?).

I keep reading "Captain BrokenHeart" as "Captain Beefheart". This is not a critique, but a reflection on me.

I, like everyone else, demand that you keep Kozel as an actual bear! Would love to see him finished, as well (personal quest,  flaws.

I would also like to see all stats start with "B" for the sake of alliteration. Perhaps Omens could become Banditry or Buccaneer?

I like how you use Heat, but I feel like it would make more sense as a shared pool? Since narratively they're all generating Heat together on their job?

Pg 18, under "Player Roll", the first paragraph ends abruptly "or can be".

I love how you break up objectives. Lends to the heist feel in a way I was struggling to capture in my game. Very cool. I would like a little more direction on structure, as far as the minor and side objectives go. Sort of a flow chart of this objective can lead this that objective, that sort of thing. 

I also thing this game would benefit from a ready-made list of Adversaries & stats, so the GM doesn't have to come up with that all on their own. Makes for a lot more prep work. I understand you didnt have time to playtest, but that would be something I'd heavily consider when you do, to help find that balance.

Looks great!

Highlights:

• Taking on an injury or a flaw is a nice way to lean into the pirate genre
• The use of public domain art

Constructive Criticism:

• The Meet the Pirates section coming before the The Rules section means that a reader is either looking at the characters with little context for what most of their stuff means, or they're flipping past the characters to learn how the game works before flipping back.
• A couple of different fonts might help the graphic design evoke the era, like a distressed font for display text and a serif font for body text.

I  am a huge fan of this, and I had a blast reading parts of it aloud to my partner. Every one of your PC concepts is awesome; please keep the literal bear in some form. I like the flaw-injury system a lot; it adds some exciting choices, taking disadvantages vs. forgoing advantages and mitigable vs. permanent conditions. The tiered abilities play well with my sense of symmetry and also add some meaningful decision points around resource use. I instinctively got what a few of your Stats were for without having to read the description, but not Booty or Omens. Heat and the multiplicity of adversaries is an interesting twist on reinforcement rules; it does add a fair amount of crunch, especially for the GM. Your structure of major and minor/side objectives gives the players and GM a lot of narrative freedom while providing a nice clear plot skeleton and game arc. At one point in your rules you refer to "advancing an objective clock" rather than removing resilience, and I think this way of framing it actually adds a mechanical contrast that might help make Havoc games more legible. +1 vote for ending the campaign with a set-piece ship battle; just a capstone Objective would work great.

Lovely vibes! The bear character is peak, very One Piece, whether intentionally or not lol! 
The 4 main stats are very fun, especially booty. 

Minor objectives and sub objectives being suggestions is really nice, i like the flexibility of that kind of thing, it lets the story flow a lot more naturally than otherwise. 

Great use of public domain art as well,  love to see art even just for aesthetic. 

I do wish that there was a ship battle somewhere in there, because pirates yarrrr

Definitely like the theme and settings and the - dice addition is an interesting twist. The only thing that I wasn’t sure of was the stats. With Havoc the stats aren’t so much a description of what you are good at as the type of scenes you shine best in and despite the alliteration being on point, I’m not sure it would be easy to theme a turn around those.

BEING A PIRATE IS ALRIGHT WITH ME!

This looks like such a blast! Having read Bright Sun Games' comment, I have to say that they're probably correct regarding Kozel. That said, I personally will riot if there is no playable bear character in Shoulder Parrots and Hooks for Hands, and I would die for Kozel. 

I really like all the characters, they're so fun and colorful. Like the other comment already said, I think the flaws system is really clever, and I love how there's a mixture of good and bad stuff in there, and how a lot of them have specific triggers. Generally, adding a minus(-)-die mechanic as a negative counterpart to bonus(+)-die is such a clever addition to the system. 

Honestly I'm impressed by how well some of the groundwork you laid out here would work (I think) for a heist-centric Havoc game. I suppose this is a heist-centric Havoc game as well, though the pirate flavoring comes out on top for me. Although I agree with the sentiment that a ship-based objective/location would've been fire and laid on the pirate vibes extra thick. That said, I'm not sure if a boarding action scene would've been able to interact interestingly with the Heat mechanic.

Speaking of: love the Heat mechanic, it's the main thing that made me comment on how well the ideas here could be applied to a heist-centric game. 

The game needs a little polishing here and there (which is both fair and to be expected when it's a game jam submission, I feel like), but I think you've got a stellar idea with really cool foundations to build upon! 

Bonebeard would be proud.

A fun premise, and I think pretty well implemented. I can’t necessarily comment on how well the game might run without playtesting it, but it looks like it would work upon an initial read.

• I like that the injuries are less interesting than the flaws but that flaws can be removed. It makes you want to take on flaws, which provide a lot more character.
• The bear character was a bit jarring, but otherwise a fun concept.
• I was tickled by the stats being Bones, Blades, Beards, and Booty. I just wish there were an alliterative name for “omens” instead so it would fit with the rest.
• The mission is fun and seems piratey enough, but I was honestly expecting something ship-based, or at least one sequence on a ship.
