The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic TTRPG

The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to develop a TTRPG that explores the series' post-pandemic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in April of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the table, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement.

Launch products will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a GM screen, miniatures, and various deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the nation into turmoil. As the pandemic worsens, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. That’s where the players come in.

Work on the game has been in progress for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider market, specifically in the United States. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with shipping expected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and strategic approach. Agents use skills or traits to roll small dice pools, typically between one and five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, players select a single “result die” from the pool.
• This die is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a natural 10 triggers special effects, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Combat Focus On Positioning and Awareness

Battles prioritize positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like taking cover, elevation, or visibility directly influence success chances. This system seems built to reward teamwork and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Thematic Health System

The way injuries is tracked adds a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by lowering the size of their dice pool.

1. At critical condition, an agent collapses, but is not knocked out.
2. They may still move and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state common to many shooter games.
3. Any player in this state must consult a trauma table, potentially gaining lingering conditions like trauma or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available introductory rulebook is promised in the near future. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be unveiled near the campaign launch.
