Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical TTRPG
The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to create a tabletop RPG set within the franchise’s apocalyptic 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, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an announcement.
Launch products are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several premium versions.
Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World
In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, plunging the nation into chaos. As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and violent factions rise, turning the urban landscape into a warzone. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. That’s where the agents enter the story.
Development on the game has been underway for about three years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a preorder system to access a wider audience, particularly in North America. Production is slated to begin right after the campaign, with shipping projected for the latter part of 2026.
A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System
A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical style. Agents leverage skills or traits to roll small dice pools, usually from one to five d10s.
- Rather than adding results together, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
- This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
- Achieving a natural 10 grants special effects, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.
Combat Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight
Fights stress positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like taking cover, elevation, or visibility have a direct impact success chances. This system seems built to favor teamwork and clever tactics instead of raw numbers.
A Novel Wound System
The way health is managed introduces a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their capabilities by decreasing the number of d10s.
- At critical condition, an operative is downed, but they’re not unconscious.
- They can still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters.
- Any agent in this state must roll on a injury chart, risking persistent effects 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 scenario, players lead the search for a missing medical team and work to stop an assault by the violent Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the complete product lineup will be unveiled closer to the Kickstarter start date.
