The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to create a tabletop RPG set within the series' apocalyptic setting. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive planned to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, offering fans a new way to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an announcement.

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

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this setting, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the nation into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, society crumbles and violent factions rise, turning the city into a warzone. To preserve order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. That’s where the players come in.

Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately three years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider market, specifically in North America. Production will start immediately following the fundraiser, with deliveries expected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the system confirms it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and strategic approach. Agents use skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the pool.
• 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 Emphasize Tactical Placement and Awareness

Battles prioritize positioning and situational awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This system is designed to reward coordination and smart positioning over raw numbers.

A Thematic Health System

The way injuries is managed adds a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool.

1. At zero health, an operative is downed, but is not unconscious.
2. They may still crawl and perform restricted acts, emulating the last stand common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent in this state must roll on a injury chart, risking persistent effects like trauma or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Scenario

A free Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It includes a ready-to-play starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an attack by the violent Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
