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 is being adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a TTRPG set within the series' post-pandemic setting. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive planned to launch in April of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, offering fans a new way to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Initial offerings will include a starter set, core rulebooks, a GM screen, miniatures, and several deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a deadly virus called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, plunging the nation into turmoil. As the crisis escalates, society crumbles and violent factions emerge, turning the city into a warzone. To preserve order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. That’s where the players come in.

Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately several years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider market, particularly in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical approach. Players leverage abilities to assemble a handful of dice, typically between one and five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, players choose a single “resolution die” from the pool.
• This dice is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a natural 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or boosted support.

Combat Emphasize Positioning and Situational Insight

Battles prioritize positioning and situational awareness, mirroring the video games. Factors like taking cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence dice rolls. This mechanic seems built to reward coordination and smart positioning over simple statistics.

A Novel Wound Mechanic

The way health is managed adds a interesting narrative layer. Operatives have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their capabilities by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an operative collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They may still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state seen in many shooter games.
3. Any agent in this state must consult a injury chart, risking persistent effects like trauma or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A publicly available introductory rulebook will be released soon. It contains a pre-made introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the search for a missing medical team and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers gang, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed closer to the Kickstarter start date.
