Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical TTRPG
The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s apocalyptic setting. This initiative was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to launch in April of 2026.
"This endeavor will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a new way to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.
Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several premium versions.
Exploring The Division's Dystopian World
In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in NYC, plunging the United States into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, society crumbles and violent factions emerge, turning the city into a warzone. To restore law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. This is where the players come in.
Development on the game has been in progress for about three years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a preorder system to access a broader market, particularly in the United States. Production will start immediately following the campaign, with deliveries expected for the latter part of 2026.
An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System
An early look at the game's rules reveals it employs 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical style. Agents use skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, typically between one and five d10s.
- Instead of adding results together, participants select a single “result die” from the group.
- This dice is then compared against a set challenge number.
- Rolling a natural 10 grants additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.
Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight
Battles stress positioning and situational awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like taking cover, height advantage, or line of sight have a direct impact success chances. This system seems built to reward teamwork and clever tactics over raw numbers.
A Novel Wound Mechanic
The way health is tracked introduces a compelling narrative layer. Operatives have a injury limit; sustaining too much damage weakens their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool.
- At critical condition, an operative collapses, but is not unconscious.
- They can still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the last stand common to many shooter games.
- Any agent knocked down must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.
An Introductory Scenario
A publicly available introductory rulebook will be released in the near future. 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 seized control of that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings will be detailed near the campaign launch.
