The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to develop a TTRPG set within the series' apocalyptic setting. The project has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in April of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the table, providing fans a new way to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Initial offerings are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was released in NYC, plunging the nation into turmoil. As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, turning the urban landscape into a warzone. To restore law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. That’s where the players enter the story.

Development on the RPG has been in progress for about several years, and it is reportedly finished. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader market, specifically in the United States. Production is slated to begin immediately following the campaign, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and strategic approach. Players leverage skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, participants select a single “result die” from the pool.
• This dice is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a perfect 10 triggers special effects, such as increased harm or boosted support.

Engagements Focus On Positioning and Situational Insight

Battles prioritize placement and situational awareness, reflecting the video games. Elements like cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This system seems built to favor teamwork and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Thematic Health System

The way injuries is managed adds a compelling narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; sustaining too much damage weakens their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an operative collapses, but they’re not unconscious.
2. They may still crawl and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any player in this state must roll on a injury chart, risking lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a ready-to-play introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
