The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic TTRPG

The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to create a tabletop RPG set within the series' apocalyptic landscape. The project has been announced, with a funding drive planned to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the table, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Launch products are set to feature a starter set, core rulebooks, a GM screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this universe, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the nation into chaos. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and violent factions emerge, transforming the city into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. This is where the agents enter the story.

Work on the RPG has been in progress for about several years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider audience, particularly in the United States. Production is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with shipping expected for the latter part of 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

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

• Instead of adding results together, players choose a single “result die” from the pool.
• This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Combat Emphasize Positioning and Situational Insight

Battles stress positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the video games. Factors like cover, elevation, or visibility have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic is designed to reward teamwork and clever tactics instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Health System

The way health is managed adds a interesting thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their effectiveness by decreasing the number of d10s.

1. At zero health, an operative collapses, but they’re not unconscious.
2. They can still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters.
3. Any agent in this state must roll on a injury chart, risking lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Scenario

A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It contains a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be unveiled closer to the Kickstarter start date.
