The gritty world of 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 franchise’s apocalyptic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled to begin in April of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an announcement.

Launch products are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the United States into chaos. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a warzone. To preserve law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. This is where the agents enter the story.

Development on the game has been in progress for about three years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider audience, particularly in North America. Manufacturing will start right after the fundraiser, with shipping expected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the system reveals it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical style. Agents use skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This die is then measured against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a natural 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Awareness

Battles stress positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like taking cover, elevation, or visibility directly influence dice rolls. This system is designed to reward coordination and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Health Mechanic

The way injuries is managed introduces a compelling narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an agent collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They may still move and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any agent knocked down must consult a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Scenario

A free Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It includes a ready-to-play starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the search for a missing medical team and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have taken over that Manhattan district. More specifics and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
