The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop as a Brutally Tactical Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a TTRPG set within the franchise’s apocalyptic landscape. The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement.

Launch products will include a starter set, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, plunging the United States into turmoil. As the crisis worsens, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a warzone. To preserve law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. That’s where the players enter the story.

Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately several years, and it is reportedly finished. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider market, specifically in North America. Production will start right after the campaign, with deliveries expected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the system confirms it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and tactical style. Agents leverage abilities to assemble a handful of dice, usually between one and five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, players select a single “resolution die” from the pool.
• This die is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a perfect 10 grants special effects, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Positioning and Situational Insight

Battles prioritize positioning and situational awareness, mirroring the source material. Elements like cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This mechanic is designed to reward coordination and clever tactics over raw numbers.

A Thematic Wound System

The way health is managed introduces a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an agent collapses, but they’re not unconscious.
2. They can still crawl and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state seen in many shooter games.
3. Any player knocked down must consult a injury chart, risking lingering conditions like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A free Quickstart Guide will be released soon. It includes a ready-to-play starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be unveiled closer to the Kickstarter start date.
