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

The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an announcement.

Initial offerings 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 deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, plunging the nation into chaos. As the crisis escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. This is where the agents enter the story.

Development on the RPG has been in progress for about several years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider market, particularly in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic style. Players leverage abilities to assemble a handful of dice, usually between one and five d10s.

  • Instead of summing the total, players choose a single “resolution die” from the pool.
  • This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
  • Rolling a natural 10 grants special effects, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Combat Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Fights stress positioning 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 coordination and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.

A Novel Wound Mechanic

The way health is tracked adds a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool.

  1. At zero health, an agent collapses, but they’re not unconscious.
  2. They may still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the last stand seen in video game shooters.
  3. Any agent in this state must roll on a injury chart, risking persistent effects like trauma or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A publicly available Quickstart Guide will be released soon. It includes a pre-made starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an attack by the notorious Rikers gang, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed closer to the Kickstarter start date.
