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

The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to create a TTRPG set within the series' post-pandemic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a new way to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," states an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this setting, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the nation into turmoil. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, turning the city into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. This is where the players come in.

Work on the game has been in progress for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a preorder system to access a wider market, specifically in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the system reveals it uses d10s predominantly through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and tactical style. Agents use skills or traits to assemble a handful of dice, usually between one and five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, participants select a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This die is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a natural 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Combat Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness

Battles prioritize positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like taking cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence dice rolls. This mechanic is designed to favor teamwork and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Wound Mechanic

The way health is managed adds a compelling thematic twist. Operatives have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool.

1. At critical condition, an agent is downed, but is not unconscious.
2. They may still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the last stand seen in many shooter games.
3. Any agent in this state must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A free Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It includes a ready-to-play starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the Kickstarter start date.
