The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to develop a tabletop RPG that explores the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. This initiative was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This project will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an official release.

Launch products will include a starter set, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, figurines, and various deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the nation into turmoil. As the pandemic worsens, civil order breaks down and violent factions rise, transforming the city into a warzone. To restore law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. This is where the agents enter the story.

Development on the RPG has been in progress for about several years, and it is reportedly complete. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, specifically in the United States. Manufacturing will start right after the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the system reveals it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic style. Players leverage abilities to assemble a handful of dice, typically from one to five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, participants select a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Positioning and Situational Insight

Battles stress positioning and situational awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like taking cover, elevation, or visibility directly influence success chances. This system is designed to favor teamwork and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.

A Thematic Health System

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

1. At zero health, an operative is downed, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They can still crawl and take limited actions, simulating the last stand common to video game shooters.
3. Any agent in this state must consult a injury chart, potentially gaining persistent effects like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Scenario

A free Quickstart Guide is promised in the near future. It includes a ready-to-play introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players spearhead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an attack by the violent Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. Further information and the complete product lineup will be unveiled closer to the campaign launch.
