Tom Clancy's The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop as a Brutally Tactical Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Launch products are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, figurines, and various premium versions.

Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, plunging the nation into chaos. As the pandemic escalates, civil order breaks down and violent factions rise, turning the urban landscape into a warzone. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. That’s where the agents enter the story.

Development on the game has been underway for about several years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a preorder system to reach a broader audience, specifically in the United States. Manufacturing will start right after the fundraiser, with deliveries expected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it uses d10s predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and tactical style. Players use skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Positioning and Situational Insight

Fights prioritize positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Factors like taking cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This system seems built to favor coordination and smart positioning over raw numbers.

A Novel Health System

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

1. At zero health, an agent collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They may still move and take limited actions, simulating the last stand common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent knocked down must roll on a injury chart, risking lingering conditions like trauma or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised in the near future. It contains a ready-to-play introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the search for a missing medical team and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be unveiled near the Kickstarter start date.
