The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game
The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a TTRPG that explores the series' post-pandemic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in April of 2026.
"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a new way to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an official release.
Initial offerings will include a starter set, core rulebooks, a GM screen, miniatures, and various premium versions.
Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World
In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in New York City, plunging the United States into chaos. As the crisis escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups rise, transforming the urban landscape into a warzone. To restore order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. This is where the agents come in.
Work on the RPG has been in progress for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a preorder system to access a broader audience, specifically in the United States. Manufacturing is slated to begin immediately following the campaign, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.
An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System
A preview at the system confirms it employs 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and strategic style. Agents leverage skills or traits to roll small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s.
- Instead of adding results together, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
- This dice is then compared against a set challenge number.
- Achieving a perfect 10 triggers special effects, such as extra damage or boosted support.
Combat Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness
Fights stress positioning and situational awareness, reflecting the source material. Factors like taking cover, elevation, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This system is designed to reward teamwork and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.
A Novel Health System
The way health is managed adds a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.
- At critical condition, an operative collapses, but is not unconscious.
- They may still crawl and perform restricted acts, simulating the last stand common to video game shooters.
- Any player knocked down must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.
A Ready-to-Play Scenario
A free introductory rulebook will be released soon. It contains a pre-made starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the full range of offerings will be unveiled near the campaign launch.
