🔗 Share this article The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop as a Brutally Tactical Tabletop Role-Playing Game The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to develop a TTRPG that explores the series' apocalyptic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in April of 2026. "This project aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, providing fans a new way to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an announcement. Launch products will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, figurines, and various deluxe editions. Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World In this universe, a deadly virus called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the nation into turmoil. As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a warzone. To preserve order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. That’s where the players enter the story. Development on the RPG has been in progress for about three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider audience, particularly in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with deliveries expected for later in 2026. An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System A preview at the system reveals it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and strategic approach. Players use abilities to assemble a handful of dice, usually between one and five d10s. Instead of summing the total, participants select a single “result die” from the group. This die is then compared against a set challenge number. Achieving a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or boosted support. Engagements Emphasize Positioning and Situational Insight Fights stress placement and situational awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like taking cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This system seems built to reward coordination and clever tactics instead of raw numbers. A Thematic Health System The way injuries is tracked introduces a compelling thematic twist. Agents have a injury limit; sustaining too much damage weakens their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool. At critical condition, an operative is downed, but is not knocked out. They can still move and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters. Any player in this state must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds. A Ready-to-Play Scenario A publicly available Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a ready-to-play introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players spearhead the search for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
