The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical TTRPG

The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to develop a tabletop RPG set within the series' post-pandemic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Initial offerings will include a beginner's box, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and various premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

Work on the RPG has been in progress for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, particularly in North America. Production is slated to begin immediately following the campaign, with shipping expected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the system confirms it uses d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents leverage skills or traits to roll small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s.

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

Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness

Battles stress positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like cover, height advantage, or line of sight have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic seems built to reward teamwork and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.

A Thematic Wound Mechanic

The way health is tracked adds a compelling narrative layer. Operatives have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage reduces their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

2. They can still crawl and perform restricted acts, emulating the last stand seen in video game shooters.
3. Any agent in this state must consult a trauma table, risking persistent effects like shock or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised in the near future. It includes a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group spearhead the search 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 Kickstarter start date.
