The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to create a TTRPG set within the series' post-pandemic setting. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in April of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement.

Launch products are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, miniatures, and various deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, sending the nation into chaos. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and hostile groups rise, turning the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. This is where the players come in.

Work on the game has been in progress for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader market, specifically in the United States. Production is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with shipping projected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules confirms it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical approach. Agents leverage abilities to roll a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, players select a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a natural 10 triggers special effects, such as increased harm or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Positioning and Situational Insight

Fights stress positioning and situational awareness, reflecting the video games. Factors like cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This mechanic is designed to reward teamwork and clever tactics instead of raw numbers.

A Novel Wound Mechanic

The way health is managed introduces a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage reduces their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At zero health, an agent collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They may still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent knocked down must consult a injury chart, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide will be released soon. It includes a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players lead the hunt for a missing medical team and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be unveiled closer to the Kickstarter start date.
