Tom Clancy's The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop as a Deeply Strategic TTRPG

The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a tabletop RPG set within the series' apocalyptic setting. The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This project will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, 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 starter set, core rulebooks, a GM screen, miniatures, and various deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the nation into turmoil. As the crisis escalates, society crumbles and violent factions rise, turning the city into a battlefield. To preserve order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. That’s where the agents enter the story.

Work on the game has been underway for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a preorder system to reach a wider market, particularly in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin immediately following the campaign, with shipping expected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the system reveals it employs 10-sided dice predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced 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 “resolution die” from the group.
• This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a natural 10 grants special effects, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Positioning and Situational Insight

Fights stress placement and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like taking cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence dice rolls. This system is designed to reward teamwork and smart positioning over simple statistics.

A Thematic Wound System

The way injuries is tracked introduces a interesting thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

1. At zero health, an agent collapses, but is not unconscious.
2. They may still crawl and perform restricted acts, emulating the last stand common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent in this state must roll on a injury chart, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A publicly available introductory rulebook 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 missing medical team and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers gang, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be unveiled near the campaign launch.
