The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic TTRPG
The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to develop a tabletop RPG set within the series' post-pandemic setting. The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in April of 2026.
"This project aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," states an announcement.
Launch products are set to feature a starter set, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, figurines, and various deluxe editions.
Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World
In this universe, a lethal pathogen known as Green Poison was released in NYC, plunging the United States into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, turning the city into a warzone. To restore order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. This is where the agents come in.
Development on the game has been underway for about three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader market, particularly in the United States. Production is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with shipping expected for the latter part of 2026.
An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System
An early look at the game's rules confirms it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents leverage abilities to assemble a handful of dice, typically between one and five d10s.
- Rather than adding results together, participants choose a single “result die” from the group.
- This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
- Achieving a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.
Combat Emphasize Positioning and Awareness
Battles stress positioning and situational awareness, mirroring the source material. Elements like taking cover, elevation, or visibility directly influence success chances. This mechanic is designed to favor coordination and smart positioning over simple statistics.
A Novel Health System
The way health is managed introduces a compelling thematic twist. Operatives have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by decreasing the number of d10s.
- At critical condition, an agent is downed, but is not unconscious.
- They may still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
- Any player in this state must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or crippling injuries.
An Introductory Scenario
A free Quickstart Guide will be released soon. It includes a ready-to-play introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad 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 will be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
