Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical Tabletop Role-Playing Game
The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to develop a TTRPG that explores the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive planned to launch in the spring of 2026.
"This endeavor aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a new way to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," reads an official release.
Initial offerings are set to feature a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a GM screen, figurines, and several premium versions.
Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World
In this setting, a deadly virus called Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, sending the United States into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, civil order breaks down and violent factions rise, turning the city into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. That’s where the players come in.
Development on the RPG has been in progress for about three years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader audience, particularly in North America. Production will start right after the campaign, with shipping projected for later in 2026.
A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System
An early look at the system reveals it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic approach. Players leverage skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, usually from one to five d10s.
- Rather than adding results together, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
- This die is then measured against a set challenge number.
- Achieving a natural 10 grants additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.
Engagements Emphasize Positioning and Situational Insight
Fights stress placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic is designed to favor coordination and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.
A Thematic Wound System
The way injuries is tracked adds a compelling narrative layer. Operatives have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by lowering the number of d10s.
- At critical condition, an operative is downed, but is not unconscious.
- They may still move and perform restricted acts, simulating the last stand common to many shooter games.
- Any agent in this state must consult a injury chart, potentially gaining lingering conditions like trauma or crippling injuries.
A Ready-to-Play Scenario
A free Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a ready-to-play 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 violent Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
