Tom Clancy's The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game
The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to develop a tabletop RPG set within the franchise’s apocalyptic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to launch in April of 2026.
"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the table, providing fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement.
Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several deluxe editions.
Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World
In this universe, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the nation into chaos. As the crisis worsens, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, turning the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. That’s where the agents come in.
Development on the RPG has been underway for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a preorder system to access a wider market, specifically in the United States. Production will start immediately following the campaign, with shipping projected for the latter part of 2026.
A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System
A preview at the system confirms it employs d10s exclusively through its new GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and strategic style. Agents use abilities to roll a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.
- Rather than adding results together, players choose a single “resolution die” from the pool.
- This dice is then measured against a set challenge number.
- Rolling a perfect 10 triggers special effects, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.
Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight
Fights stress positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This mechanic is designed to favor coordination and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.
A Thematic Wound System
The way health is tracked adds a compelling narrative layer. Operatives have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their effectiveness by lowering the size of their dice pool.
- At critical condition, an operative is downed, but is not knocked out.
- They can still crawl and take limited actions, emulating the last stand seen in video game shooters.
- Any player in this state must consult a trauma table, risking lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.
An Introductory Scenario
A free Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It includes a ready-to-play starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the search for a missing medical team and work to stop an assault by the violent Rikers gang, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the full range of offerings will be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
