Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop as a Brutally Tactical Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a tabletop RPG that explores the series' apocalyptic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the table, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an announcement.

Launch products are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and various premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this universe, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in NYC, sending the nation into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. This is where the agents enter the story.

Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider audience, particularly in North America. Manufacturing will start immediately following the campaign, with shipping expected for the latter part of 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

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

• Instead of adding results together, participants choose a single “result die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a natural 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness

Fights stress positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like cover, elevation, or visibility directly influence dice rolls. This mechanic seems built to reward teamwork and smart positioning over simple statistics.

A Novel Health Mechanic

The way injuries is tracked introduces a compelling thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool.

1. At zero health, an agent collapses, but they’re not unconscious.
2. They may still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the last stand seen in many shooter games.
3. Any player knocked down must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide will be released soon. It includes a pre-made starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
