The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to create a tabletop RPG set within the franchise’s apocalyptic setting. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in April of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and various premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the United States into turmoil. As the pandemic escalates, civil order breaks down and hostile groups emerge, turning the urban landscape into a battlefield. To restore order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. That’s where the agents enter the story.

Work on the game has been in progress for approximately several years, and it is reportedly finished. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider market, particularly in the United States. Manufacturing will start right after the fundraiser, with deliveries expected for the latter part of 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical approach. Players leverage skills or traits to roll small dice pools, typically between one and five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, participants choose a single “result die” from the pool.
• This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a perfect 10 triggers special effects, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Positioning and Awareness

Battles stress placement and environmental awareness, reflecting the video games. Elements like taking cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This system seems built to favor teamwork and smart positioning over simple statistics.

A Thematic Health Mechanic

The way health is tracked introduces a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their effectiveness by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

1. At critical condition, an agent is downed, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They may still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters.
3. Any agent knocked down must roll on a injury chart, risking persistent effects like trauma or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised in the near future. It contains a pre-made introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the hunt for a missing medical team and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers gang, who have taken over that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be unveiled closer to the Kickstarter start date.
