Tom Clancy's The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop as a Brutally Tactical TTRPG

The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a TTRPG set within the series' apocalyptic setting. The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in April of 2026.

"This project will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a new way to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Launch products are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and various deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this universe, a deadly virus called Green Poison was released in NYC, sending the nation into turmoil. As the pandemic escalates, civil order breaks down and hostile groups rise, turning the city into a battlefield. To preserve order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. That’s 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 upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader market, particularly in the United States. Manufacturing will start right after the fundraiser, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules reveals it uses d10s exclusively through its new GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical style. Agents leverage abilities to roll small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then measured against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a natural 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Positioning and Awareness

Battles prioritize positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like taking cover, height advantage, or line of sight have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic is designed to reward coordination and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.

A Thematic Wound System

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

1. At critical condition, an operative collapses, but is not knocked out.
2. They can still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any agent in this state must roll on a injury chart, risking persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Scenario

A free Quickstart Guide 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 hunt for a missing medical team and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
