The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a TTRPG that explores the franchise’s apocalyptic setting. The project has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an announcement.

Launch products will include a beginner's box, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, plunging the nation into chaos. As the crisis worsens, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a warzone. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. This is where the players come in.

Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a preorder system to reach a broader audience, particularly in North America. Production is slated to begin right after the campaign, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the system reveals it employs 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and strategic style. Agents leverage skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then measured against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a perfect 10 triggers special effects, such as increased harm or boosted support.

Combat Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Fights stress positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the video games. Factors like cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This system seems built to reward coordination and smart positioning over raw numbers.

A Novel Health System

The way injuries is tracked adds a compelling narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; sustaining too much damage weakens their effectiveness by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

1. At critical condition, an agent is downed, but is not knocked out.
2. They may still move and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any player in this state must roll on a trauma table, risking lingering conditions like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A publicly available introductory rulebook is promised in the near future. It includes a pre-made starting adventure titled 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 taken over that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the full range of offerings will be unveiled near the Kickstarter start date.
