The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to develop a tabletop RPG that explores the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in April of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the table, offering 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, essential manuals, a GM 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, plunging the United States into turmoil. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and violent factions rise, transforming the urban landscape into a warzone. To restore order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. This is where the agents come in.

Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately several years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a preorder system to reach a wider market, particularly in the United States. Production is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with shipping projected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s exclusively through its new GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical style. Agents use abilities to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a perfect 10 grants special effects, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Awareness

Fights prioritize positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like cover, height advantage, or visibility directly influence success chances. This system is designed to reward coordination and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.

A Thematic Health Mechanic

The way injuries is managed adds a interesting thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage reduces their effectiveness by decreasing the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an operative collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They may still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the "downed" state common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent knocked down must consult a injury chart, risking persistent effects like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Scenario

A publicly available introductory rulebook will be released in the near future. It includes a ready-to-play introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
