The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the table, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," states an official release.

Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, miniatures, and various premium versions.

Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the United States into chaos. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, turning the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. This is where the agents come in.

Work on the game has been underway for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a preorder system to reach a broader market, particularly in the United States. Manufacturing will start immediately following the campaign, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical approach. Players leverage skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, typically between one and five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, participants choose a single “result die” from the pool.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a perfect 10 triggers special effects, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Combat Emphasize Tactical Placement and Awareness

Fights prioritize placement and situational awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like cover, elevation, or line of sight have a direct impact dice rolls. This system seems built to favor coordination and clever tactics over simple statistics.

A Novel Health Mechanic

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

1. At critical condition, an agent is downed, but is not unconscious.
2. They can still crawl and take limited actions, emulating the last stand common to video game shooters.
3. Any player in this state must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining lingering conditions like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and work to stop an attack by the violent Rikers faction, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the full range of offerings will be unveiled closer to the campaign launch.
