The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a tabletop RPG that explores the series' apocalyptic landscape. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in April of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a new way to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an announcement.

Launch products will include a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, plunging the nation into turmoil. As the pandemic worsens, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, turning the city into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. That’s where the agents enter the story.

Development on the game has been underway for about three years, and it is reportedly finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader market, particularly in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the campaign, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic approach. Players leverage abilities to assemble small dice pools, typically between one and five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This die is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Combat Emphasize Tactical Placement and Awareness

Battles stress positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like cover, elevation, or line of sight have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic seems built to reward coordination and smart positioning over simple statistics.

A Thematic Health Mechanic

The way health is managed introduces a compelling narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At zero health, an operative collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They can still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent in this state must roll on a injury chart, potentially gaining lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A publicly available Quickstart Guide will be released soon. It includes a pre-made starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an attack by the violent Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings will be unveiled near the Kickstarter start date.
