🔗 Share this article Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to develop a tabletop RPG that explores the series' apocalyptic setting. The project was revealed, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in the spring of 2026. "This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the table, providing fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement. Launch products are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, figurines, and several premium versions. Exploring The Division's Dystopian World In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the United States into chaos. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and violent factions emerge, transforming the city into a battlefield. To restore order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. This is where the players come in. Development on the game has been underway for approximately several years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a preorder system to access a broader audience, particularly in North America. Manufacturing will start right after the campaign, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026. An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System An early look at the system reveals it uses d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and tactical style. Agents leverage skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, typically between one and five d10s. Rather than summing the total, participants select a single “result die” from the pool. This dice is then compared against a target difficulty. Rolling a natural 10 triggers special effects, such as increased harm or enhanced aid. Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Awareness Battles stress positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the video games. Elements like cover, height advantage, or visibility directly influence dice rolls. This system seems built to favor teamwork and clever tactics instead of raw numbers. A Novel Wound Mechanic The way health is tracked adds a interesting narrative layer. Operatives have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits weakens their effectiveness by lowering the size of their dice pool. At critical condition, an operative collapses, but is not knocked out. They can still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state common to many shooter games. Any player in this state must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds. An Introductory Adventure A free introductory rulebook is promised soon. It includes a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the hunt for a missing medical team and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be unveiled near the campaign launch.
