Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game
The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a TTRPG that explores the franchise’s apocalyptic setting. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to launch in April of 2026.
"This project will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the table, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an official release.
Launch products are set to feature a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.
Exploring The Division's Dystopian World
In this setting, a deadly virus called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the United States into chaos. As the crisis worsens, civil order breaks down and violent factions rise, 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 players enter the story.
Development on the RPG has been underway for about three years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider market, particularly in the United States. Production will start immediately following the fundraiser, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.
An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System
An early look at the system confirms it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical approach. Agents leverage skills or traits to roll small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.
- Instead of adding results together, players select a single “resolution die” from the group.
- This die is then compared against a set challenge number.
- Rolling a perfect 10 grants special effects, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.
Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Situational Insight
Fights stress positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the video games. Factors like cover, height advantage, or line of sight have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic seems built to reward coordination and clever tactics instead of simple statistics.
A Thematic Health Mechanic
The way health is managed adds a compelling thematic twist. Operatives have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their capabilities by lowering the number of d10s.
- At critical condition, an operative collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
- They may still move and perform restricted acts, simulating the last stand common to video game shooters.
- Any player in this state must roll on a trauma table, risking persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.
An Introductory Scenario
A free introductory rulebook will be released soon. It contains a pre-made introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the search for a missing medical team and must thwart an attack by the violent Rikers gang, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
