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

The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a TTRPG set within the franchise’s apocalyptic landscape. This initiative 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 tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a beginner's box, essential manuals, a GM screen, miniatures, and various premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this setting, a lethal pathogen known as Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the United States into turmoil. As the crisis worsens, civil order breaks down and violent factions emerge, transforming the city into a warzone. To preserve order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. This is where the players enter the story.

Development on the RPG has been in progress for approximately three years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider market, specifically in the United States. Production will start immediately following the fundraiser, with shipping projected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it uses d10s predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and tactical style. Players use skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, typically between one and five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, participants select a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as increased harm or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Positioning and Situational Insight

Battles prioritize positioning and situational awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence dice rolls. This system seems built to favor coordination and clever tactics over raw numbers.

A Novel Health Mechanic

The way health is tracked introduces a compelling thematic twist. Operatives have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an operative is downed, but they’re not unconscious.
2. They can still crawl and take limited actions, emulating the last stand seen in video game shooters.
3. Any agent knocked down must consult a injury chart, risking lingering conditions like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide will be released soon. It includes a ready-to-play starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the search for a missing medical team and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers gang, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be detailed near the Kickstarter start date.
