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 is being translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a tabletop RPG that explores the franchise’s apocalyptic landscape. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in April of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building 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 are set to feature a starter set, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several deluxe editions.

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was released in NYC, plunging the United States into turmoil. As the crisis worsens, society crumbles and violent factions emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a warzone. To restore order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. This is where the agents come in.

Development on the RPG has been underway for approximately three years, and it is reportedly finished. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, particularly in North America. Production will start immediately following the fundraiser, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and tactical approach. Players use skills or traits to assemble a handful of dice, typically from one to five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This die is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Battles stress positioning and situational awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like cover, elevation, or line of sight have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic is designed to reward teamwork and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.

A Novel Wound System

The way health is managed adds a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

2. They can still crawl and perform restricted acts, 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 shock or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide is promised in the near future. It contains a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players lead the search for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be detailed near the Kickstarter start date.
