Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop as a Brutally Tactical TTRPG
The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s apocalyptic landscape. The project has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in April of 2026.
"This endeavor aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.
Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, figurines, and several premium versions.
Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World
In this setting, a lethal pathogen known as Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the nation into turmoil. As the pandemic worsens, society crumbles and violent factions emerge, turning the city into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. This is where the players come in.
Development on the game has been in progress for approximately three years, and it is reportedly finished. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider market, particularly in the United States. Manufacturing will start immediately following the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for later in 2026.
A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System
An early look at the game's rules confirms it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical approach. Agents use skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, usually between one and five d10s.
- Instead of adding results together, participants select a single “resolution die” from the group.
- This dice is then compared against a set challenge number.
- Rolling a perfect 10 triggers special effects, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.
Combat Focus On Positioning and Awareness
Fights stress positioning and situational awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like cover, elevation, or line of sight have a direct impact success chances. This system seems built to reward teamwork and clever tactics instead of raw numbers.
A Novel Health System
The way injuries is managed adds a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by decreasing the number of d10s.
- At zero health, an operative collapses, but they’re not unconscious.
- They can still move and take limited actions, emulating the "downed" state common to many shooter games.
- Any agent knocked down must consult a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like trauma or crippling injuries.
A Ready-to-Play Adventure
A free Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It contains a pre-made starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
