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' post-pandemic setting. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in April of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an announcement.

Launch products will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a GM screen, miniatures, and several deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, plunging the nation into chaos. As the crisis escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, turning the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. That’s where the agents enter the story.

Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, specifically in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the system confirms it employs d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and strategic style. Agents leverage skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, typically from one to five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, players choose a single “resolution die” from the pool.
• This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Awareness

Battles stress placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like taking cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This mechanic is designed to reward teamwork and clever tactics instead of simple statistics.

A Thematic Wound System

The way health is managed introduces a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage reduces their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

1. At critical condition, an agent collapses, but is not knocked out.
2. They may still move and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any player knocked down must roll on a injury chart, risking lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Scenario

A free introductory rulebook is promised soon. It contains a pre-made starting adventure 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 notorious Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. More specifics and the full range of offerings are expected to be unveiled near the Kickstarter start date.
