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 translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in April of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," states an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in NYC, sending the nation into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, civil order breaks down and violent factions rise, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. That’s where the players come in.

Work on the RPG has been in progress for about three years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader market, specifically in North America. Production is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with shipping expected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules reveals it uses d10s predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and strategic style. Agents use skills or traits to assemble a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, participants choose a single “result die” from the group.
• This dice is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Battles stress placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Factors like cover, height advantage, or visibility directly influence success chances. This mechanic seems built to reward teamwork and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Health System

The way injuries is managed introduces a interesting thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by lowering the size of their dice pool.

1. At critical condition, an operative collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They can still crawl and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any player knocked down must consult a trauma table, risking persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available introductory rulebook will be released in the near future. It includes a ready-to-play starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers gang, who have taken over that Manhattan district. More specifics and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
