Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop as a Deeply Strategic TTRPG

The gritty 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 set within the series' apocalyptic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in April of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Launch products are set to feature a beginner's box, essential manuals, a GM screen, miniatures, and several deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, sending the United States into turmoil. As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. That’s where the players enter the story.

Work on the game has been in progress for about several years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a preorder system to reach a broader market, particularly in the United States. Production will start immediately following the campaign, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

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

• Instead of summing the total, players choose a single “resolution die” from the pool.
• This die is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a perfect 10 triggers special effects, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Positioning and Situational Insight

Battles stress positioning and situational awareness, reflecting the video games. Factors like taking cover, height advantage, or line of sight have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic is designed to favor teamwork and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Thematic Wound Mechanic

The way injuries is tracked adds a compelling thematic twist. Operatives have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their capabilities by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At zero health, an operative is downed, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They can still move and perform restricted acts, simulating the last stand common to many shooter games.
3. Any player knocked down must consult a injury chart, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Scenario

A publicly available introductory rulebook will be released in the near future. It contains a ready-to-play starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and work to stop an assault by the violent Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
