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

The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a tabletop RPG that explores the franchise’s apocalyptic landscape. The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement.

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

In this setting, a lethal pathogen known as Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the nation into chaos. As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups rise, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. That’s where the agents come in.

Work on the game has been in progress for about several years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader audience, specifically in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with shipping expected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it employs d10s predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical style. Players use abilities to assemble small dice pools, usually from one to five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, participants select a single “result die” from the pool.
• This die is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Combat Emphasize Positioning and Situational Insight

Battles stress placement and situational awareness, reflecting the source material. Factors like cover, height advantage, or line of sight have a direct impact success chances. This system is designed to favor coordination and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Wound Mechanic

The way health is tracked adds a compelling narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

1. At zero health, an agent is downed, but is not unconscious.
2. They can still crawl and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters.
3. Any player knocked down must roll on a trauma table, risking persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised in the near future. It contains a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group spearhead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers gang, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the full range of offerings will be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
