Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical TTRPG

The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a tabletop RPG that explores the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in April of 2026.

"This project will bring the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the table, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an official release.

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

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, sending the nation into chaos. As the crisis worsens, civil order breaks down and hostile groups rise, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To restore order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. This is where the players enter the story.

Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately three years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, specifically in North America. Production will start right after the campaign, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the system confirms it employs d10s predominantly through its new GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and tactical approach. Agents use skills or traits to assemble a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, participants choose a single “result die” from the pool.
• This die is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a natural 10 grants special effects, such as increased harm or boosted support.

Combat Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Battles prioritize positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the video games. Factors like taking cover, elevation, or visibility have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic seems built to favor coordination and smart positioning over simple statistics.

A Thematic Health Mechanic

The way health is tracked introduces a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an agent collapses, but is not unconscious.
2. They can still crawl and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any player knocked down must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Scenario

A publicly available Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an attack by the violent Rikers gang, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings will be unveiled near the Kickstarter start date.
