The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a tabletop RPG that explores the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. The project was revealed, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in April of 2026.

"This project will bring the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an official release.

Launch products will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several premium versions.

Exploring The Division's Apocalyptic World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen known as Green Poison was released in NYC, plunging the nation into turmoil. As the crisis worsens, society crumbles and violent factions rise, turning the city into a battlefield. To preserve order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. That’s where the agents come in.

Work on the RPG has been in progress for approximately three years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider market, particularly in North America. Production is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with shipping projected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s exclusively through its new GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents leverage abilities to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, players select a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a natural 10 triggers special effects, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness

Battles stress placement and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like taking cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic seems built to reward teamwork and clever tactics instead of raw numbers.

A Novel Health System

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

1. At critical condition, an operative collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They may still move and take limited actions, emulating the last stand common to video game shooters.
3. Any player in this state must roll on a trauma table, risking lingering conditions like trauma or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A free Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the hunt 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 full range of offerings are expected to be unveiled near the Kickstarter start date.
