The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a TTRPG that explores the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a funding drive planned to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the table, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an official release.

Initial offerings are set to feature a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and various deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in NYC, sending the United States into turmoil. As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups rise, turning the urban landscape into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. This is where the agents enter the story.

Work on the RPG has been in progress for approximately three years, and it is reportedly finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, particularly in North America. Production will start right after the fundraiser, with shipping projected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the system reveals it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and tactical style. Players use abilities to assemble a handful of dice, typically from one to five d10s.

  • Rather than summing the total, players select a single “result die” from the group.
  • This die is then measured against a target difficulty.
  • Achieving a natural 10 grants special effects, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Battles prioritize placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like cover, height advantage, or line of sight have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic seems built to favor teamwork and clever tactics instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Wound System

The way health is managed adds a compelling narrative layer. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage reduces their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool.

  1. At critical condition, an operative collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
  2. They can still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
  3. Any player in this state must roll on a injury chart, potentially gaining lingering conditions like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A free Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a pre-made introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the search for a missing medical team and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings will be unveiled near the campaign launch.
